6/100: You Know I'm No Good

Song: You Know I'm No Good

Artist: Amy Winehouse

Album: Back To Black

Amy, Amy, Amy. Oh how we miss you. Back To Black is one of the most raw, gut-wrenching and original albums of its time. Channeling 60's jazz, soul, and R&B in her own unique way, it's hard to believe she was only 22 when she made this, her 2nd of only two albums. Hard to believe, however, until you see this video clip of her singing Happy Birthday to a friend at the age of 14, and you realize she'd always sung like that. I haven't yet seen the UK film that documents her life, music, and struggles with addiction. I hope to see it soon.
