Amy Winehouse was a British singer-songwriter from London, known for her deep, expressive voice and a style blending soul, jazz, rhythm and blues and pop. Rising to prominence in the early 2000s, she stood out for intimate, direct and often autobiographical songwriting, supported by arrangements inspired by 1960s soul. With the albums Frank and Back to Black, Amy Winehouse became one of the defining artists of her generation and a major figure in the British soul revival.
