This is exactly why I fell for Amy in the first voice, her voice IS a voice from the past. I'm so sorry she os gone for through her we had the chance to hear really great music. I know Dinah Washington was standing right next to her when she sang this. The first few words took me back to 1963............ RIP most beautiful gifted angel, and ty for letting us hear you
You got to be freakin Kidding me............WOW I am sorry i never listed to her before ....boy am I sorry..........I am thinking Billie Hoilday...Sarah Vaughn.......Amy Winehouse?
I am Truly Amazed...........What a Voice..... we lost someone spiecial...
I think that jazz like this was really her forte. After all, she spent her formative years singing with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra (NYJO). Like the above, she seemed so at ease singing her final recording, Body & Soul, with Tony Bennett. It's a tragedy she trod the path of self-destruction.
I got the chills watching and listening to Amy's interpretation of this classic . . . . damn she was good on this number . . . I heard a bit of Billie and Sarah. What a tragic shame. R.I.P.
find it nasal , screechy , forced ! disappointing in comparison with other great stuff i've heard from her . listen to phoebe snow , though her backing is poor !
Few minutes before this video I watched Dinah Washigton`s interpretacion of this song. To me Dinah was one of the greatest jazz singers, and Amy`s interpretation compares to Dinah`s.
Amy's Present talent + Dinah's influence from the past= Present Day Legendary Performance. One needs the other to create a present day work of art..:)
She let the fame... and everything else she could put into her body... go to her head. Nothing happened to her that she did not cause to happen. Honestly, she was fantastic at this stage in her performing... and it was all down hill from there.
I am ashamed to say it was not until recently that I discovered this. Now I can't stop listening... Amy is amazing! The world has lost a rare gift....
its such a shame that we have lost such a wonder full and beautfull singer in amy, what to me is a bigger shame is that there are so many people that will never remember her for talent as such that is portrayed in this video . rest peacefully amy.
A fabulous Dinah Washington song that is performed so well. She sounds quite like her too. What a tragic waste of such talent. Nothing more to say really.
Incidently, Amy's new tune called "Halftime" was leaked to the internet today. Very bluesy, very addictive. Made back in 2002 but apparently "didn't make it" onto the Frank album. It should have. Another gem.
@jimaroo100 Enjoy your discovery of this truly remarkable human - with multiple, supernatural talents. If my own experience is any indication, you're destined for quite a ride.
@OTBASAR Unfortunately "medical failures" occur everyday, probably by the tens of thousands, but they go unnoticed. Most people's lives (and deaths) are not scurtinized, under a microscope, every single day - the way Amy's is. Moreover, the precise cause of death - for most of us - will never be known. About 1/3 of all autopsies are flawed. If there were medical missteps here, that wouldn't be at all surprising. Sadly, we can't bring Amy back but, happily, she "impassioned" your life!!
@greenpostdoc Your last sentence is so rich in truth. Yes.. whatever we do, we can not bring Amy back. And her music was the best thing ever entering my life for the last 40 years or more..for sure.
I am an old guy so i don't keep up with new artists but this woman belongs with the superstars of jazz. - Dinah, Ella, Sarah and Billie. it is my sad loss that I am just now discovering her. . I am sad that she died a tragic death. Thank you for posting!
@OTBASAR I love that "whooooo" she spontaneously throws in at the 0.32-0.33 mark, which largely goes unnoticed. Jools picked up on it.
Yes, you shared your thoughts with me on the Coroner's findings when they were first made public. My reply was that there could very well be a heart problem (because alcoholism causes cardiomyopathies) but that there was no hard evidence to substantiate that. But if you can advance "the truth" OTBASAR you have my unqualified support. It's just FINDING it.
@greenpostdoc At such a distance from incident area, my hard evidences can only be her definite reactions to her uneasiness. I can just say glass is partially full and others have to prove, it's completely empty. That is, medically the people in charge should be able to say, such an unusual behaviour of her, which did not exist during any of her performances in 2003 thru 2008, was known, medically checked and even treated for remedy. If nothing such exists, then this is a big medical failure.
Szkoda, ze nie pozostała taką skromną, spokojną dziewczyną. Głos miała nieprzeciętny, to wielki dar od losu i tak mało nam słuchaczom pozostawiła. Wielka szkoda, że odeszłaś Amy...
@OTBASAR I fell in love with Amy's version of this awhile back -- and I still keep coming back to it. Been real busy (with numerous emergencies) and will respond to your new "You Tube pal" on "Tears Dry On Their Own" when I get a chance. It will be a VERY long response however. There are no simple explanations. It's rather curious that he didn't address his comments to me. Unfortunately it just propagates more ignorance. And ignorance is often associated with an offensive "arrogance".
@greenpostdoc Exactly..You first listen to one song, you love it, then you listen to another one, you like her. A third one makes you love her, a 4th one starts to make a resonating effect with love and admire for her reaching up to the sky. I don't think such an achievement ever exists.
FYI, I never believed in alcohol story, instead she died of heart failure, for which I have strong evidences. Already sent email to her doctor and family for elaboration. Will let you know if get some news.
love this, listen to it a little bit compulsively. Sorry to say that sax solo does not wear well. She's in the stratosphere, and he's at some Holiday Inn, musically speaking. Oh, well. RIP dear Amy.
Every word of the song is so delicately handled by her. Such a softness and purity hormonized with perfect tuning and articulation..A performance beyond the imagination of even very fastidious jazz connoisseurs.
The lady selected through media, as 2nd most hated person of UK is on stage. Regardless of her being UK's most talented singer, how can a human being hate such a vulnerable naive girl, a beautiful soul and personality ? Justice in judgement also fails.
@OTBASAR How can you judge a moth attracted to light and bound to self-destruction. She was, and is now so much above (and beyond) us all. RIP Amy (please, no tattoos in heaven). Be strong, angels don't cry.
@wojciechzby I did not understand, what you criticized. Just visit my channel. I'm a person who posted in her favour more than 250 comments in last 30 days only. And 30 of them have become Top Comments. Thus, I'm a wrong address for you.

I had not idea of jazz, soul, etc...but listening to old singers only know that Amy was the best, excuses my frankness.Your letters, his voice, his performences will be inmortal. Anyone entering into discussions.
Allow me to be perfectly honest here; for the first 30 seconds or so of this video, my mouth was open like a fish! I was completely caught off guard by the BEAUTY, VIBRANCY & 100% UNALTERED TALENT of a youthful Amy Winehouse. Unfortunately, it took the passing of this young lady to sharpen my focus on her career. BOY, have I been asleep! I've viewed all the videos of the late stage of her career....and this clip takes me to her early beginnings. We've lost someone truly precious here.....indeed.
@aliquippawill Im with you. I knew shew was good , i liked her but didnt pay attention! MAn i see all concerts i can and this is another one i could have seen but nmissed so sad! Will kick myself for ever like i do over Stevie Ray
@aliquippawill This is what happens to a lot of great talents because most of the buisness is so cought up with making money instead of making music in away the artist can show the true gift. I am so tired of the supper market kind of concept for making music... by being in fashion, when it should be so simple.. what moves you to feel the truth of what is inside of you. This is why the world is hurting so bad is because we are allowing the lie to make us believe in nothing... lol
@aliquippawill Your not the only one...my friends are just now getting what I have been saying for a few years now...they were caught up in the hype..and I was lost in her spirit...It's truly a lost
@aliquippawill This is the way that Blues/ Jazz was meant to be performed. Too damn bad the powers that were took her life over and made it hell on earth. I have been an Amy fan for a very long time. She is missed.
If Dinah Washington was alive she would have cried seeing someone she influenced sing this song and BLOW IT AWAY! Talk to anyone 50 60 or 70yrs old and they would give this woman the credit she deserves.
She was very talented and possessed a wonderful natural gift. I always thought of her as another spoiled, obnoxious pop star...but obviously, as one can tell from this extraordinary example, she was something very special. Wish she was still alive and making beautiful music.
@peeperissexy My sincerest apologies for the comment I erroneously sent to you. It was intended for daToinado. That's what happens when you're busy and rushing through things. I totally agree with your sentiments and have great respect for your perception of true, great talent. Amy was all that and her version of this song is clearly superior to Dinah's. And I'm a HUGE Dinah Washington fan so I think I'm being as objective as one can be on this matter. "You" seem like a passionate soul.
@peeperissexy I hope, for your sake, you aren't referring to my comment. Because if you are you'd better go BACK to school, relearn everything you thought you knew and then give your head a shake. And that's presupposing there's anything between your ears to begin with, which is a stretch. I'm a jazz enthusiast, a musician and an academic. You're clearly not going to school anybody on ANYTHING. Express your opinion and keep the abuse to a minimum. It only impeaches your own credibility.
@peeperissexy Let me school you on the real. All this quirky drunken hop head did was listen to a mimic old greats like Dinah Washington. There is such a thing as 'song interpretation'...which is a part of what has to be considered when judging a singers true talent. If you have not listened to those black artist of old and you heard this, I could see how you would thing,WOW! She is no more than weak assed Elvis, who by the way they had a BROTHER sing his songs first. He just mimicked.
Her voice is almost (not quite, but ALMOST) indistinguishable from Dinah Washington's. Clearly Dinah had a massive influence. Both women were incredibly talented singers who died too young.

One dreams of experiencing a jaw-dropping, eye-popping performance like this once in their lifetime. Just, WOW Amy. And full credit to Jools and his orchestra.
I can honestly say that I had never heard Amy Winehouse sing until after she died. I'm mainly a classical music fan, and while I'd heard of Amy and her troubles, I'd always assumed she was just another talentless pop star. When I learned of her death, out of curiosity I looked up some of her stuff on YouTube. I was completely blown away by her talent. Rather than judging Amy for the way she lived or died, let's thank her for the beauty she gave us while she was here. R.I.P.
Oh my God. I never knew Amy's work. Never heard of her. After her death, I found her by accident and figured I'd what all of the hooplah was. Holy shit. The Ella of Pop. She's way out of the box like Stevie, Ray, Hendrix and Ella. So sorry to not be able to see her and hear more. Wow. Wow. Shame on me for my blindness. LOVE HER!!!!
@Foreverboombox . She's dead, F-boombox! she's not holding anything anymore. Tragic that so many people (self included) never looked past the headlines and never knew about her gifts until she was gone. R.I.P.
@Foreverboombox easy there. From what I see, Amy was a shy, self-effacing, somewhat fidgety performer in those early years. She was bare 20 here. She's shaping the phrase with her gestures, nothing wrong with that. Look, too at the end how she steps away from the mike and turns to applaud the band. She was a musician's musician. I loved, too, that beaming smile when she finished a number. Such a loss.
@lettikaa Lol ... that voice simply doesn't register with who you see on the video.
I think this performance was in 2005, and that ultra jazzy style and phrasing really came through in her performances then. She kind of morphed into her own style in the Back To Black album, but I think people forget how good a jazz artist she really was.
Amy Winehouse is recycled Motown. If you like her"sound' your in luck because 20 years of that kind of music came out of Detroit before she was even born. Really, just listen to any classic Motown band
ive been listing to her songs all night and she is sooo amazing and while im listing im feel so sad that all this amazing talent and beautiful person had to die RIP girl ur one amazing person and will be missed!
The most beautiful version I have ever heard, out of the 223,136 views I probably viewed 200k times, lol. Seriously folks...150,000 at least. :) What a voice....Amy was a legend at 19, what a gift.
Querida Amy!... Voce entrou na minha vida no dia em que ouvi sua voz pela primeira vez. Fui me apaixonando por você na medida em que ouvia suas músicas! Jamais deixarei de te ouvir. Onde estiver agora, esteja com Deus!
I miss the music she had yet to create. People who diss her just need a target for their own misplaced feelings of negativity. She was an addict. Yes, she her herself and her parents. She didn't break into anyone's house to sell stuff for drugs. So, although I didn't approve of her weaknesses, I valued her talent. Some talented artists have done more harm to others than this one had.
I'm not a big fan of Amy's singing when she's live because she tries to extend her notes to long like Aguilera, but she doesn't do that here. She also sounds like she means what she's singing here. She put feeling into the song as if she's saying the words to someone she really cares about. It's rare to be able to hear that from anyone these days. Her best song and the best cover of this song.
I can honestly say that I had never heard Amy Winehouse sing until after she died. I'm mainly a classical music fan, and while I'd heard of Amy and her troubles, I'd always assumed she was just another talentless pop star. When I learned of her death, out of curiosity I looked up some of her stuff on YouTube. I was completely blown away by her talent. Rather than judging Amy for the way she lived or died, let's thank her for the beauty she gave us while she was here. R.I.P.
I was in the same boat as you. Heard of a few scandalous headlines but never really bothered to seek out her music (ie. making the exact same assumption as you did). And, again as you did, I started scouring Youtube for live concert footage and simply could NOT get enough!!
I haven't been this immersed and obsessed with someone's music in a very, very long time. Her grooves, her phrasing, her heart felt lyrics ... her REALness ... just so incredily compelling.
@ninbang I've done the exact same. I wrote this on another performance of hers:
"This is Amy at her peak. In fact, this is musical artistry at its peak. When a singer completely loses themselves in the song & bleeds the lyrics, it's impossible for an audience not to connect with it.
That's why despite the fact that many of her songs are written from an intensely female perspective, guys like me can understand and feel it as well."
@anthonyigo That "connection" you mentioned I certainly don't get from most contemporary artists / performers. But, Amy's old school Motown / Soul / R&B / Jazz grooves draw you in, then you can't stop listening to that unique voice & sound and those edgy / raw lyrics.
First time I listened to the Back To Black album, I actually got chills. You could "feel" that haunting pain in her lyrics, and the emotions seem so genuine (as opposed to manufactured or forced).
@Bnjolly Que bom, como muitas pessoas ainda irão descobrir a Amy !! Parece clichê, ou brega, mas ela realmente vai estar para sempre nas nossas vidas ! Ela é um fenômeno ! Sua voz me encanta ! Linda! Mas poderia ter ficado mais com a gente. Porque eu fui no show que ela fez aqui no Brasil, mas eu queria ir de novo !!!! rs
One day one of my classmates said straight to my face that she was actually happy that Amy died just because to her this girl was just a crackhead. She seemingly has never even heard Amy's music.
@Bnjolly Well said.....I have been a fan since I heard her before she lost her way(when they were trying to make her a pop star)..But that dont matter of when someone hears her ..if you .really hear her...Your hooked for life..as Tony Bennett said she was a True Jazz Singer...And in the area of Jazz she was a pure soul....And she wont cut no angel any slack..they better be ready to sing...:)..
This is exactly why I fell for Amy in the first voice, her voice IS a voice from the past. I'm so sorry she os gone for through her we had the chance to hear really great music. I know Dinah Washington was standing right next to her when she sang this. The first few words took me back to 1963............ RIP most beautiful gifted angel, and ty for letting us hear you

If Dinah Washington was alive she would have cried seeing someone she influenced sing this song and BLOW IT AWAY! Talk to anyone 50 60 or 70yrs old and they would give this woman the credit she deserves.

@peeperissexy My sincerest apologies for the comment I erroneously sent to you. It was intended for daToinado. That's what happens when you're busy and rushing through things. I totally agree with your sentiments and have great respect for your perception of true, great talent. Amy was all that and her version of this song is clearly superior to Dinah's. And I'm a HUGE Dinah Washington fan so I think I'm being as objective as one can be on this matter. "You" seem like a passionate soul.

@peeperissexy I hope, for your sake, you aren't referring to my comment. Because if you are you'd better go BACK to school, relearn everything you thought you knew and then give your head a shake. And that's presupposing there's anything between your ears to begin with, which is a stretch. I'm a jazz enthusiast, a musician and an academic. You're clearly not going to school anybody on ANYTHING. Express your opinion and keep the abuse to a minimum. It only impeaches your own credibility.
greenpostdoc 3 months ago
@peeperissexy Let me school you on the real. All this quirky drunken hop head did was listen to a mimic old greats like Dinah Washington. There is such a thing as 'song interpretation'...which is a part of what has to be considered when judging a singers true talent. If you have not listened to those black artist of old and you heard this, I could see how you would thing,WOW! She is no more than weak assed Elvis, who by the way they had a BROTHER sing his songs first. He just mimicked.

Her voice is almost (not quite, but ALMOST) indistinguishable from Dinah Washington's. Clearly Dinah had a massive influence. Both women were incredibly talented singers who died too young.

I can honestly say that I had never heard Amy Winehouse sing until after she died. I'm mainly a classical music fan, and while I'd heard of Amy and her troubles, I'd always assumed she was just another talentless pop star. When I learned of her death, out of curiosity I looked up some of her stuff on YouTube. I was completely blown away by her talent. Rather than judging Amy for the way she lived or died, let's thank her for the beauty she gave us while she was here. R.I.P.

@Foreverboombox easy there. From what I see, Amy was a shy, self-effacing, somewhat fidgety performer in those early years. She was bare 20 here. She's shaping the phrase with her gestures, nothing wrong with that. Look, too at the end how she steps away from the mike and turns to applaud the band. She was a musician's musician. I loved, too, that beaming smile when she finished a number. Such a loss.

@lettikaa Lol ... that voice simply doesn't register with who you see on the video.
I think this performance was in 2005, and that ultra jazzy style and phrasing really came through in her performances then. She kind of morphed into her own style in the Back To Black album, but I think people forget how good a jazz artist she really was.

Amy Winehouse is recycled Motown. If you like her"sound' your in luck because 20 years of that kind of music came out of Detroit before she was even born. Really, just listen to any classic Motown band

I miss the music she had yet to create. People who diss her just need a target for their own misplaced feelings of negativity. She was an addict. Yes, she her herself and her parents. She didn't break into anyone's house to sell stuff for drugs. So, although I didn't approve of her weaknesses, I valued her talent. Some talented artists have done more harm to others than this one had.

Amy grew up on Dianah Washington. For me she feels uncomfortable with this, She knows she is copying Dianah and that's impossible.
countrymix1 5 months ago
I'm not a big fan of Amy's singing when she's live because she tries to extend her notes to long like Aguilera, but she doesn't do that here. She also sounds like she means what she's singing here. She put feeling into the song as if she's saying the words to someone she really cares about. It's rare to be able to hear that from anyone these days. Her best song and the best cover of this song.

@Bnjolly Wonderfully said.
I was in the same boat as you. Heard of a few scandalous headlines but never really bothered to seek out her music (ie. making the exact same assumption as you did). And, again as you did, I started scouring Youtube for live concert footage and simply could NOT get enough!!
I haven't been this immersed and obsessed with someone's music in a very, very long time. Her grooves, her phrasing, her heart felt lyrics ... her REALness ... just so incredily compelling.
ninbang 4 months ago
@ninbang I've done the exact same. I wrote this on another performance of hers:
"This is Amy at her peak. In fact, this is musical artistry at its peak. When a singer completely loses themselves in the song & bleeds the lyrics, it's impossible for an audience not to connect with it.
That's why despite the fact that many of her songs are written from an intensely female perspective, guys like me can understand and feel it as well."
anthonyigo 4 months ago
@anthonyigo That "connection" you mentioned I certainly don't get from most contemporary artists / performers. But, Amy's old school Motown / Soul / R&B / Jazz grooves draw you in, then you can't stop listening to that unique voice & sound and those edgy / raw lyrics.
First time I listened to the Back To Black album, I actually got chills. You could "feel" that haunting pain in her lyrics, and the emotions seem so genuine (as opposed to manufactured or forced).
