This audio profile commemorates the extraordinary but painfully short career of British soul singer Amy Winehouse, who passed away from alcohol poisoning in 2011 at just 27 years old. Though she only recorded two albums, Winehouse left an indelible impact on pop music in the 2000s, blending vintage jazz and R&B with deeply confessional lyrics. We explore both her musical genius on songs like “Rehab” and “Back to Black” as well as her struggles with substance abuse and mental health issues before her untimely death. Join us as we pay tribute to Winehouse’s powerful but complicated legacy as part of the “27 Club.”
