Cheers to the late-great Amy Winehouse (@amywinehouse) in celebration of her 39th birthday🖤 The unlikely heir of all the soul legends that had come before her, #AmyWinehouse rose from the underbelly of Britain's retro-blues pub circuit with booming vocals, bouffant beehive where a gilded crown might have otherwise perched and an uncanny penchant for painting her own stories of addiction, love and loss with an edge unabashedly blunt as her signature winged eyeliner. Transcending time and the quantifiable means of awards won and acclaimed hits like "Back to Black", "Rehab", "Some Unholy War" and "Tears Dry On Their Own”, the depth and breadth of Winehouse’s veracious legacy is perhaps best revealed through the durational lens of a cautionary tale riddled in unresolved demons and a remarkable talent taken entirely too soon. Nevertheless, it is in her magnanimous memory that we look to the future in full-volume style. Here’s to wishing you much the same. — Ph.
