Amy Winehouse was an English singer and songwriter whose powerful contralto vocals and fusion of musical genres, including soul, jazz, and R&B, made her a unique and formidable talent. Raised in a family of jazz musicians, she was a precocious talent, and her 2003 debut album, Frank, was a critical success in the UK, earning praise for its witty, confessional lyrics. Her international breakthrough came with the 2006 album Back to Black, which became one of the best-selling albums in UK history. The album, featuring the iconic single "Rehab," propelled her to global stardom, earning her five Grammy Awards in 2008. Winehouse's signature look—a towering beehive hairstyle, heavy eyeliner, and retro fashion—made her a cultural icon. However, her immense talent was often overshadowed by her tumultuous personal life, including a volatile marriage and severe struggles with substance abuse and mental health, which were relentlessly documented by the tabloid press. She died tragically at age 27, joining the "27 Club." Her posthumous album, Lioness: Hidden Treasures, was released in 2011, and her profound impact on music and fashion continues to influence artists today.
