Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse (born September 14, 1983, London, England—died July 23, 2011, London) British singer-songwriter who skyrocketed to fame as a result of the critically acclaimed multiple Grammy Award-winning album Back to Black (2006) but whose tempestuous love life, erratic behaviour, and substance-abuse problems stalled her recording career even as they made her a favourite subject of tabloid journalism.
