no dude not first time
I need to know how to send a song in and donate.
@@carygrady4989under the title of the song you’ll see ‘ More’.. click on it and you’ll see another link for requests and donations
Have you had a chance to listen to Duffy? Amy is up there with the great jazz sisters for me and I get goosebumps listening to her. ❤
Amy would be glad to hear your respectful and emotional reaction, comparing her voice to Nina’s 💜
RIP Amy, such a beautiful sensitive artist who unfortunately had lots of mental health issues and got caught up in a weird drug scene in north London. She was from a Jewish very working class London family- her dad was a cab driver who used to play a lot of Sinatra and Billie Holliday to her. She went to a prestigious music school and was part of the national youth jazz orchestra. She was also a great guitarist. I met her briefly when we were neighbours in 2006. Really sweet down to earth person. When she passed I was heartbroken- I still am to this day.
Also this live performance of the song with The Dap Kings is INCREDIBLE. just electric ua-cam.com/video/ANIKZVKm1Sg/v-deo.html
My condolences for the loss of a friend.🌹
Yeah of course you were
Amy went to Sylvia Young's Theatre school, same school as my son. She was expelled from the school, she clearly knew there was not much they could teach her, clearly she was right. Sylvia Young was also Jewish and would often wave the school fee for exceptional talent, Amy was in that category.
@@thomasmain5986 what’s her being a Jew got anything to do with it
Always felt that Amy was a modern day blues and jazz singer. Loved her.
Bought the Frank album at the time - less produced than Ronson, but screams the jazz influences.
Amy was a huge fan of Jazz and blues, she member of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra during her youth and as she got older would frequent jazz and blues clubs around London, I think it had a huge influence on her and the music she enjoyed to listen to as well as play ❤️
I love Amy so much how tragic, please please check out the young and humbling ANGELINA JORDAN, you won’t regret it. 🙏🙏RIP🙏🙏AMY♥️🌺🙏
Amy Winehouse is the perfect example of “you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone”. I liked her at the time, but the more time passes, the more I realise what an amazing artist she was.
ONLY . ONE . TAKE .
Rest in Peace , Amy . Forever in our hearts .
her style is very unique her style of singing is very difficult most people cannot replicate her
RIP One of the greatest Young singers of a decade 🥺
She was one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time. Not decade
Amy was a taste of Modern Rock and Roll. R.I.P. Legend.
Wow! is right. Amy is missed, RIP Amy. She’d be 41 this year.
I met Amy in a pub in Camden London, she was working in a pub, I was on a 2 day bender. She is completely different to how she was being painted at the time in every tabloid. An extremely nice cool genuine person.
It was a monstrous tragedy losing this brilliant artist. I don’t call many singers artists but Amy was a gift. RIP Amy
Back to black is not about returning to using substances, in the UK black is worn when you lose someone you love, you're mourning their loss. The video even shows her at a funeral, wearing black.
In my opinion, Amy is the greatest British female singer ever. It's like she embodied the spirit of soul music.
Nationality and gender do not matter when it comes to talent of this height. She was simply one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Definately the best before Thw current queen. Amy was the first.
Ooh, not convinced. Dusty Springfield singing Spooky gives me chills like Amy singing back to black. Both were amazing
@saydvoncripps music is intensely personal. So my opinion is exactly that, my opinion. I can fully understand others having their own favourite. But Amy speaks to my soul in a way no-one else has ever.
Tony Bennett said she was the real deal of old jazz. She did a duet with him. Her idol.
RIP Amy, our beautiful Camden angel.
Everything she sung was stunning. Love her, cried when she passed - such a tragedy 😢
Tony Bennett did a session with her. He said, "It's so sad she could've been as good as any of them, Billie, Sarah, Ella, etc"
AW, was up there with the best of them. ( Musicians)🤔. Just my opinion..... Thank you for your reactions 🙏
she was........
And that’s the class, honestly. Ella, Billie, Sarah. Tony knows that so it’s major for hm to say so, but I mean you could tell in 15 sec so
I miss her music 😭😭
He said she sounded like Dinah Washington
"Singing in slow motion" - what a wonderful turn of phrase. Perfect.
Back to black she is mourning him missing in her life as though he died.
She is THE BEST female British singer EVER!!
I wouldn’t go that far….but yes she is very good.
Well thats subjective, but she was definitely up there .
I’d say she’s about the same as Adele (in terms of how good they are). But I prefer Adele, because it’s more nostalgic for me.
She sings with her soul.
She wrote this song with the fantastic Mark Ronson.
Such and old soul voice in a mega talented but troubled young lady. I adore Amy. Her acoustic version of 'Valerie' is incredible. Such a loss to music. Her duets with Tony Bennett are awesome too.
She nailed Valerie
I concur! The acoustic live version.
ua-cam.com/video/6pAz9UpnRKw/v-deo.html
@@jamesgirard4463 Agreed!
Close your eyes, and imagine Amy on a small stage in a jazz club, in the 20's, no-one else on stage, spotlight on her, this is where I feel she belongs. A beautiful, tortured soul.
Check Amy out singing "Valerie" live, she is a phenom!!!
Oh and Back to black acoustic is gold as well!!! ❤️
Acoustic! Yes. Thats her in her purest rawest... is that a word? Lol best
Came to say the same. It’s one of my favorite covers
Omg, yes please. Valerie the live Version
Shoutout to The Zutons for Valerie.
Her phrasing is wonderful.
Awww I’m so glad you mentioned Nina Simone!!! I could never put my finger on it … she is so giving me some Nina vibes!!! Amy was a real one tho her voice!!!!😢😊 RIP
Any Winehouse was a generational voice. What a shame she didn't have better influences in her life. Would have been fun to experience her for 20 or 30 more years.
Many generations 😢
And, a pERSON died, not only an artist. From all accounts she was a loyal, kind, sweet person. She deserved better. RIP
Amy was horribly exploited. She just wanted to make music. Fame destroyed her. And yeah. Bad people in her life. She was a raw open nerve to the world around her. So sad the price paid so often for great art....we cherish what she left behind.
Just an everyday kid with an extraordinary gift.
She was such an incredible talent i just wish she loved herself half as much as we loved her ❤
true x
Absolutely true, you summarised her life in one sentence ❤
You can tell she loved the Shangrilas
And the Ronettes.
Amy Winehouse was one of the greatest voices in the last 50 years. So trouble, and it was such a crime she was taken from us. Get all of her recordings - they are incredible and timeless.
Beautiful artist. The back to black album really encapsulates the pain she felt. Very heartfelt and real. Her first album "Frank" is my favorite. More cheeky, a little less emotionally raw. They both have very different feels. Regardless, she was phenomenal and relatable.
If this is your first time listening to Amy, you HAVE to check out more of her stuff. One of kind, she was. 🖤
What's your favorite song from her? Yes, this was my first time hearing her voice. I'd heard of her before though.
@@poloreacts27 You Know I'm No Good
@@poloreacts27 idk if I can pick a favorite but check out her singing "Valerie" acoustic. She's just sitting on a couch with a microphone and it's definitely one of my favs. 🔥☺️
@@poloreacts27 VALERIE acoustic is GOLD!
@@poloreacts27 listen to her version of Will you still love me tomorrow. It’s beautiful.
Amy Winehouse is the most recent member of what is known as the 27 Club; artists who died at that age. For a couple of years before her death, she would voice a pessimistic fatalistic fear that she was going to join that club. And she did.
Amy was one of a kind reminds me of Janis not voice wise but inner pain wise ,both Unforgetable and timeless
Right - “so vintage and timeless”, “singing in slow motion”. You are always spot on! This woman in her brief life, imprinted her image on a TIMELESS soundtrack. She is one of my favs of ALL time, even tho of another generation. I look forward to meeting her one day. She’ll be back. Will you be there? I know I sound crazy, but God never lies. I’m serious.
This is a classic- The WHOLE album you can play from 1st to the last track. Its an eery heartwrenching beautiful song. she exposed her soul ..I get the same reaction each and every time I hear this song.. So sad and tragic.. A unique talent she was
The great Amy. Beautiful voice - one in a million, and yes, the Nina Simone comparison is a good one, as is the "singing in slow motion" description. Sadly, a member of the "27 Club" - she never reached their 28th birthday. There is a terrific documentary about her simply called "Amy", which is partly uplifting and partly devastatingly sad - she was a restless troubled spirit. Here's to you, Amy, from a fellow Barnet kid - RIP.
Check out Angelina Jordan. She also has a voice like Nina/Billie/Amy. She covered this song when she was 10 years old, live and had to read the lyrics but still crushed it. Her voice is not quite as deep as Amy's here as she was 10 but she can hit it now ua-cam.com/video/ICY1uJe15cM/v-deo.html
She also did Valerie at 12 years old ua-cam.com/video/sqmJLkgk2Ik/v-deo.html
I get chills listening to Angelina just like I do when I hear Amy
Rm Andromeda Does she write her own songs though? That's to me a big part of Amy too, the songs came from her heart, it was her story.
@@teijaflink2226 She has written 5 songs but she is only 16 years old. One of them was about her heartbreak after her grandfather died. She is amazing, as was Amy
Beautiful woman from North London, I've always loved her. Love her and miss her.
The Late Great Amy winehouse.❤🎵🙏🏽
There's not one female artist around nowadays, who can even begin to match Amy's talent!
I'm so jealous you can discover her music for very first time. I'm in love since 2007.
I just discovered her RN, do you have any recommendations? So far i love this song, and stronger than me.
@@peeoncarl6 oh, sure. Stronger than me is for Frank album, this is her first. Her second album, Back to black is obviously her most famous and emotional album. And the third album, Lioness: hidden treasure. You can find here original Tears dry version.
@@peeoncarl6 this third album was released after her death.
@@peeoncarl6 if you want live performances you should start looking from end of 2006 and beginning of 2007 till August. Later she was still awesome, but not in good shape, so for begging that will be great. From Frank album you can also find some great performances in 2004. She had great gig in church in 2006, this was brilliant
she was the best singer/songwriter of her generation. Forget Adele. She was the one who could compete with everyone and win. So so sad she died so young.
I agree
Adele would be irrelevant if Amy was still alive
@@Lass1888 This is funny bcz Adele released 21 when Amy was alive n outperformed her albums💀u guys like overrating artist after they've passed away
Amy was a beautiful and talented soul❤️
She made her talent seem so effortless. Such a shame she never found the help she needed.
She did have help apparently and rehab…she had bad ongoing bulimia which killed her!
Her family and associates ignored her eating disorder. ED’s are the number one killer of all mental illnesses.
Poor Amy Winehouse, Back to Black is a great album however her first album FRANK IS truly a fantastic bombastic BAD BOY album. I saw Amy in the Bush Theatre in Shepards Bush London in 2003 and there were only 250-300 people and Amy played all of her first album. She is hands down is a classic stylish artist not because she passed away but her voice, songwriting talents. At that time I would always play her music in my car, my friends would say "switch that off and put some hip hop or whatever" I said NO I'm playing Amy. No one knew who she was because she was out of the limelight. 2nd album came and the problems started, media hooked onto her unfortunatly she was taken far FAR too early
Peace
❤2ALL
👍🤜🏽
Welcome to the world's Amy Winehouse. It's so beautiful. The comparison with Nina Simone is very apt, it is the magic of Soul.
Oh how I miss Amy! Frank is one of the best debuts ever! Her voice and music is timeless 🖤🖤🖤🖤
she had a black soul, she had songs like this at 19 year ols, salam raimi her first producer said if youre like this at 18 i cant imagine at 25 and he was right
please listen to her "Frank" album its my fav EVER its a masterpiece she wrote at 19 years of age, its crazy man
she was supernaturally gifted
Amy loved old jazz music that’s why this song sounds vintage. Just see the film about her Back to black. What a voice, what a talent
She's definitely a great jazz artist
I remember years ago a friend of mine showed me “ Valerie” and I felt instantly in love, not only with her voice but also with the soul within her voice. I asked him: who is she?
He said: Amy winehouse. She died a couple of years ago.
I can’t really or precisely explain it but when he said that I got a feeling like something really precious was some how stolen from the world.
Just like Janis Joplin..
Sadly the brightest stars usually burn out too quick. She surely left a long lasting legacy in the short time we had her 👏 rest in peace Amy 🙏
Amy was a total legend. I was lucky enough to see her performing live in Punchestown Ireland. She was a Queen. ❤
The musicians on the album were The Dap-Kings, Daptone Records house band. The story goes that Mark Ronson heard Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings & thought the band would be perfect for Amy. He was right, and the rest is history.
They were also perfect for Sharon.
There is no artist in the 21st century who has even scratched the surface of her talent. RIP Amy
Really, as they say in Pulp Fiction, “that’s a bold statement…” This will change your mind:

@@ben-schulman Most of what you sent are covers of songs from the 20th century. Also, name an artist from the 21st century who had better lyricism than Amy.
@@ilovemusic5558 I think I already did. Listen, everybody likes the artist they like. My point was simply that it is silly to think the one you or me like best is the GOAT. What is true is that, in spite of the many phenomenal artists out there, there are only a handful of truly elite, special artists currently active today. These are artists like Floor Jansen, Lara Fabian, Angela Jordan, and Beth Hart. Would Amy have fit into that group? Probably, but death at an early age means your discography is limited to 2 studio albums, magnified fame, and a lot of unrealized potential. Beth nearly met the exact same fate with rising fame in 1999 and near death from mental illness, drug addiction, and anorexia at age 27. Fortunately, she is such the survivor that she made it through and has produced 13 studio albums and 4 live albums.
Now, what I sent you was 5 performances between 2004 and 2018 to demonstrate her phenomenal vocal power, range, tone, skill, stage presence, musicianship, and song writing talent. Only 2 of the 5 were covers (that's not "most"). She writes her own music and lyrics but is also well known for her studio collaborations with guitarist Joe Bonamassa with whom she produced 3 cover blues and soul cover albums in 2011, 2013, & 2018. (This is also the reason the 2 coves are not from the 21st century--they're classic blues & soul standards).
Because she died early, Amy's career lasted less than a decade. It would have been the same for Beth , who was more of a rock n roller at the time, if she hadn't survived (although not the same level of fame Amy had achieved). After getting booted from Atlantic Records in 2000 (drugs & mental instability), Beth resurrected herself as a big star in Europe (2003-2011) and then again in the US (2012 to present). She has produced 7 #1 Blues albums after the age of 41. Because she survived, Beth's phenomenal talent has continued to evolve and expand from Rock and Blues-Rock, to Blues, R&B, Jazz, and American Ballads. So, it's hard to claim an artist is the greatest in the "21st century" and that no other "has even scratched the surface of her talent" when they have produced little in the way of a discography and had insufficient time to grow, develop, and realized their full potential.
Hopefully, though, apart from AW, you'll see there are a few select living musicians that are simply breath-taking every time they perform. Here's 5 more performances that demonstrate the mind blowing range and talent of BH. Enjoy:
“Mechanical Heart” (from ‘Live in Inas Nacht’ in Hamburg, Germany, Sept 2022; original song about her husband): ua-cam.com/video/ovBwnRhOziQ/v-deo.html
"House of Sin” (original from 2005 Pinkpop Festival in Landgraaf, Netherlands): ua-cam.com/video/yLv0QuW8hHo/v-deo.html
“Sister Heroine” (from the 2018 Royal Albert Hall concert; about losing an older sister to AIDS): ua-cam.com/video/uT7_ZPIAoC4/v-deo.html
“Whole Lotta Love” (killer acoustic version of the Zeppelin song in a tiny French radio studio, 2012): ua-cam.com/video/lUaut2m4YaI/v-deo.html
“Lay Your Hands on Me” (original from the 2004 Paradiso concert; Beth on the keys): ua-cam.com/video/c68YQrIL4q0/v-deo.html
You clearly don’t know the difference between the 20th and 21st century.
@@ilovemusic5558 I thought I was eminently clear--although Beth had her 1st major label record in AD 1996 (the 20th century), she forged the vast majority of her work post 2000 (the 21st century). Amy was born in 1983 and Beth in 1972. Amy's first album (Frank) was released in 2003 and second (Back to Black) in 2006--both early 2st century as you so astutely observed. Beth's first two albums with Atlantic Records were released in 1996 & 1999. Her career resurrection--the part Amy never got the chance to do--was also in 2003 (also the 21st century) with Leave The Light On. Now, at 50, she's tackled rock n roll's most hallowed ground with her 'Tribute to Led Zeppelin' album released in February 2022 and is not even close to peaking. Clearly way beyond "scratching the surface of (Amy's) talent"...but everybody has an opinion, but it doesn't necessarily mean the opinion comports with the facts.
I really liked your comments on Amy’svoice and lyrics, she was indeed a phenomenal artist. For more of her music, try listening to “Valerie” and “My Tears They Dry on Their Own”.
Tears dry on their own 😕😕
Tears Dry.
RIP, she had an amazing voice. Great review, thank you.
Might I suggest listening to her acoustic… love is a losing game.
Amazing how hypnotizing the pendulum is to the beat of the song .
Off the charts musicianship. Hard to describe but she could take a fairly simple melody and repetition and just inject it with lightning and kaleidoscopic colour. Just a wonder
Her voice exactly matches her image. She is a classic, old school, songstress.
An amazing talent that left us way to soon😢
I was lucky enough to see her live in ‘08 she was a tiny woman at 5’3” but sang like she was twice her size.
I love Amy Winehouse!
Can’t say enough about how I love this woman. She composed and wrote everything she ever did. This song was not co-written. Amy wrote all her music. She was brilliant. She had such a tumultuous life. Died at 27. Rest in Peace, Amy. She is for the ages. She’s been compared to the famous Billie Holiday. Listen to her. Amy is as good if not better. Which says something.
Please watch the documentary “Amy” from 2017. I won the Academy award for best documentary that year. It is outstanding.
This song was co written with Mark Ronson. It says so in the sleeve notes of the album.
@@pobstrelhe helped her refine it for the radio but she wrote the song on her own in an hour. She was a genius.
we lost something phenomenal. I still ache when I listen to her. I recommend listening to live versions, she always sang each song differently, I guess depending on how she felt but boy, she was so gifted. rip dear Amy, bless you for blessing us with your gift x
She sounds like the women on my fathers old 78’s the first records ever made! Like 1930’s/40’s
Amy still lives today thru individuals like POLO who learn of her special talents. Amy died in 2011 ... over a decade ago ... but yet I still feel she is here.
Thank you polo for covering this song. This is one of my fav. Amy was a power house of talent . I miss her and her backing singers which were X2 men.... loved them and the way they moved/ danced .... it added to the performance ❤... please watch live they're live performances ❤
Some people get really popular and famous because they’re genuinely great. Amy was one of those people. Such a loss for our generation, but at least we have 2 amazing albums.
Rip Amy she was ahead of her time and so underrated
He's right i never heard anyone describe her voice like that
She was amazing she wore her hair and makeup like we did in the 60s
RIP AMY !! I absolutely Love Amy's voice.
Yes, her voice is so old school. Her catalog
Is incredible. Please listen to some more,
You won't be disappointed. Thanks Polo💞
Rep all them that passed!
Love chef!/chefs!
You know who you are!
Act like you know!
just you wait until you listen to the whole album ...its unforgettable
Polo, you are every fxckin’ freakin’ time pure, real, honest and additionally completely grounded. I love your captivating spirits you constantly exhale, my man! I wouldn’t know what, when, how but in my humble opinion you are born for and shall rise to a great(er) and greatest audience with your very show to deliver yourself to all the empty soulless minds and lost characters thirsty for life and numb enough to not detecting it.
You're right, Amy is special. No wonder you liked this track. Great day Sir Polo. And your listeners too.
Well said
I agree 100%
I doubt you've NEVER heard Amy Winehouse before. Like that seems impossible to me
I just recently discovered Amy about a year ago. She was amazing..
Have been waiting for this- finally! please check out her song Valerie.
Her cover version of The Zuton's song Valerie.
Stunning Voice .All the songs she wrote and sang are brilliant. Two stand out for me personally are Love is a losing game and Valerie The acoustic version.
Valerie was a cover version.
You're the man POLO 👍
You should watch the documentary "Amy": its heartbreaking
I LOVED her…. She is missed😢
That voice is what made her so instantaneously attractive. ❤ You'd never expect such soul from a gal who looked 'older white glam' and belted out the songs like 'modern black diva.' She owned every syllable.
Amy is one of my favorite singers of ALL TIME , timeless voice like you said. Please check out more of her music! Amy Winehouse - Rehab would be a good one to do next
She's describing going back to the void of experience
RIP
She was so soulful and had so many influences running through her.
Black American soul women from the 50s were running through her veins like some sort of possession it was outstanding.
This London girl.
So tragic that clearly by the end also the disease of addiction took her away.
I hope that she will be remembered for her music absolutely
Also i hope she stands for anyone out there that knows when we cant stop its gonna catch up with us.
It will
She wouldn't care though.
Fuck that she only cared about the music.
Then it didn't
We lost so many because of this.
You know them its your friends your family your icons.
Protect them and help them.
xx
Amy hit the soul note, effortlessly . RIP beautiful girl 💕
The best female vocalist of our generation ❤❤❤❤❤❤ never to be forgotten
sit down
Loved Amy's voice she was definitely one of a kind an amazing person amazing voice very sadly missed RIP amy
RIP Amy. What a great voice. Gone too soon. Love her.
She's up there with Dusty as one of our greatest female vocalists
I liked your reaction to Amy , she was such a beautifully troubled soul and I miss her 🥀 Please react to "My Tears Dry On Their Own" by her, it's my favourite along with Valerie.
Yes that song is an amazing song and it has been there to lift me up so many times
Thank you for your reaction. I hope you want to react to more Amy Winehouse. 😊
RIP Amy. I feel the song is mourning the end of the relationship & she goes back to feeling depressed & dead inside. Poor woman 😢
When you watch some of her duets - quite a few on Jools Holland - you see how aware the artists are of what they are in the presence of...
Also check out her concert in Dingle in a tiny church.
Thanks for this!!!!!!❤
By the way, her live performances of this are even greater , check out her live performance to this song she did from Small Church in Ireland
I am a die hard Jimi Hendrix fan and I loved Nirvana in my teens, She is still, by far, the most talented member of the 27 club. Such a sad ending.
fuck yah😓
Don't forget janis joplin tho!!
jim morrison deserves mention here
That’s a stretch
Nah not really. Amy was the singer, writer, and instrumentalist for most of her songs.
Such a huge voice from such a tiny little woman. RIP Amy ❤
