Amy Winehouse - Valerie

Amy Winehouse sings "Valerie," acoustic.
AOL Studios, January 2007

I am uploading this because I filmed it as part of my job at AOL. I didn't know who she was, and had never used that camera before. My team was like "We're focusing on the audio, but why not get some video too?" I was warned "She can be a handful" but she was very nice and easy-going. She seemed a bit nervous even as she had a slight stammer when she spoke. But then she plopped down in a chair in our audio engineer's office, sang this song and everyone's jaw dropped. Pretty cool.

Then a month later she was, like, hugely famous. I heard her in every Starbucks and every time I was put on hold for the next year.

Good audio recordings of this here:

What does it mean to have "no soul"? What does it mean to have soul?

Some people are called "lost" souls, some are "old" souls and some look for a soul mate. We have our soul brothers and soul sisters. What does it mean to share soul with someone?

How do you know if you're in the presence of soul, be it in a place, in a person or even in a thing? Does art have soul? Does food have soul? Does music have the quality of soul? - oh yeah!!! Go fuck yourself okay, Thanks!
