Amy Winehouse did earlier this year. Her album of a couple of years ago, Back to Black, had been one of the great albums of the first decade of the new century. Soul chanteuse bringing the sound of the early days of the soul rock era Winehouse could sing like few before and even fewer today.
Soon however her singing became the under card to a drawn out fight she had with personal problems an substance addiction. Her song Rehab had too many truths in it for our own comfort. It was a battle she lost this year.
Recently the album Hidden Treasures has been released. It contains many gems recorded by Winehouse over the last few years as she staggered through life. The album is strong if varied but no one song fully captures what we lost with her death as much as her take on The Shirelles classic " Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? "
Her beautiful voice silenced forever. A woman that could sing the phone book and leave you wanting more. This song haunts anyone who loves a voice that can take you places. It did not take her where it should have. What a shame.
