Amy Winehouse was a British singer-songwriter celebrated for her deep, expressive contralto voice and eclectic blend of soul, jazz, and reggae influences. Her 2003 debut album Frank established her as a distinctive artist, while her 2007 follow-up Back to Black became one of the best-selling albums in UK history. She won five Grammy Awards in 2008, though her life was marked by personal struggles that ultimately led to her death in 2011.
