Music feature: Amy Winehouse

From Afternoons, 2:30 pm on 29 August 2023

Although her time on Earth was cut short, Amy Winehouse left and indelible mark on music.

Her debut album 'Frank' was released in 2003, introducing the world to her soulful, jazz-inflected voice.

But it was 'Back to Black' in 2006 that sealed her status as one of the most exciting voices in modern music.

It became one of the best-selling albums in UK history and led to five Grammy Award wins.

Amy Winehouse died in 2011 at the age of 27, but her music lives on.

And one of the people keeping her legacy alive is Lisa Tomlins, a singer who has been involved with a series of tribute shows over the years. Lisa joins us for this week's music feature.
