Rest in Power, Amy

Seems like everyone has an opinion about Ms. Winehouse. I certainly do… SHE WAS AWESOME! Seriously folks, whatever you may think about the troubled singer’s personal life, the fact remains that she was one of, if not the best, voices of our generation. It saddened me deeply to find she had passed, and that that unique tone would be silent from now on. The night of her death, I was DJing in Washington DC, and was completely inundated with requests for her music. Normally that many requests would leave me frustrated, but they helped me realize I was not alone in how much joy I get from her music. I only wished somehow she could have seen that and made more.

I know this song is probably floating around on a few blogs, but it is my favorite of her’s. It was never included on either of her records. From what I gather there is a lot of other unreleased material floating around. I only hope we get to enjoy it and let her talent live on through it.
