Amy Whinehouse

Amy, Amy, what a voice,
As from heaven,
You’re a jazz singer,
Of the ones we can’t forget,
Sensitive, you felt guilty,
To refuse a photo,
You had too big a heart,
We asked you a hundred times,
How to hunt these people
So they can finally understand?
My God, what a voice,
What love, what love offered,
to all who listen to you,
You said thank you, tenderly,
I say thank you,
O Amy, what a voice,
It’s hard to understand,
I would have been in Belgrade to hear you,
Bye, bye, Princess, big black eyes,
Sing what you like,
It will always be more beautiful,
Only a Bach cantata,
Amy, Amy, what a voice,
An angel, angel in heavens.

Amy was unique, as a singer and probably as a person. Pitty that her life was too short. Beautiful dedication poem. Like it very much!

So talented, such a loss and like many talented creatives, at such a young age. Due to drugs/alchohol/internal conflict. Interesting to come across this poem, as I was listening to her music a few nights ago. Back to Black.

Yann, "What love, what love offered, to all who listen to you" And rightly so.., as I listen to her valor in Valerie., oh man. Better to know Amy Jade in memory and memorium than never to know that enigma of deep contralto in beehive. -Richard

A lovely tribute to the late, talented, beautiful Amy Winehouse. It's tragic she died so young. I saw a very good documentary about her some years ago.

Well, you really liked her. I knew I must have heard most of her songs but I do not pay much attention to names of the artists. Bet she was great.
