Amy Winehouse "Free Nelson Mandela" (Treacy version)
Loading...
Uploaded by mynokiaeyes on Jul 5, 2008
Amy Winehouse sings "Free Nelson Mandela" at the 46664 Concert in London in 2008. Her album "Back to Black" made Winehouse the first British singer to win five Grammys. The 46664 concerts are a series of AIDS charity events played in honour of Nelson Mandela by South African musicians. Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island in 1964, and was the 466th prisoner to arrive that year. "Free Nelson Mandela" is a song written by Jerry Dammers and performed by his Coventry-based band The Special A.K.A. released on the single Nelson Mandela / Break Down The Door in 1984 as a protest against the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela. Unlike most protest songs, the track is upbeat and celebratory, drawing on musical influences from South Africa. The song reached No.9 in the UK charts and was immensely popular in Africa.
Dr. Patrick Treacy was part of the "Free Nelson Mandela" campaign and worked in South Africa as a doctor after Nelson Mandela was freed. The video shows the badge he wore.

Amy and Witney Houston used to smoke crack and other drugs. Witney was the worst.After drugs she could not sing tuned as she did before. But Amy, was with a sick voice, tuneless sometimes, but her tuneless is something tuned.You guys got it? She was natural, and her voice was so UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

@interactivemale2 Oh dear! Such aggression at the suggestion that you engage in fellatio, perhaps it is your repressed desires that result in these illiterate rantings?

Looks like Amy may be high on crack or something. She's got that fidgety messing with her skirt thing going on. She still rocks but she could have done better.
