In her intense, brief life, Amy Winehouse's music spoke directly to
millions. And since her death, her fans have only increased.
Amy Winehouse is one of those pop stars that comes along so rarely we're
not sure we knew what we had when we had her. Her story speaks to us not
because the relentless tabloid coverage of her darker days unfolded in
real time, but because she tapped into deeply personal yet universal
feelings and displayed them to us in all their painful, raw glory. She
turned our demons into something we could dance and sing to, and she
skewered those who wronged her in ways we could only dream of.
