Norman Cousins, American Essayist 1912-1990
Newsweek magazine called her "a perfect storm of sex kitten, raw talent and poor impulse control" back in 2008.
Last night she was scheduled to appear at the Nyon Paleo Summer Festival 2011 but the date was cancelled due to health problems, after her recent Belgrade performance when she appeared to be drunk on stage.
Amy Winehouse's tragically short life was fraught with personal issues, but her immense talent was undeniable. Amy Winehouse was just 27 years old as were all these other (in-)famous artists when they died, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Brian Jones.
It is extremely sad that she was never able to find peace whilst alive with her talent or success. She led a rollercoaster life style that was destined to end in tragedy but she will live on in music history.

I loved her music!! I was infatuated with Back to Black when it came out. She really did have talent!! I was ready to hear about her great comeback, but heard this instead. Sad.
She will go down in music history, no doubt about it.
