Back To Black [Explicit]

Back To Black [Explicit]

Her pop references5
Am I hearing things, or does Amy Winehouse quote "In My Room" and "Be My Baby" in songs on her album B to B?

I forget which songs they are, but I'm pretty such they're there. I mention it because apparently her lawyer made her put on the liner notes, the fact that she quotes the opening to "Ain't No Mountain" (M. Gaye) in one of her songs--afraid of getting sued.

I'm just asking, not criticizing. Actually, she is the best student of pop music since Streisand. As a songwriter, she's not quite up there with C. King or J. Mitchell, but she's as good as T. Chapman, wouldn't you say? She hasn't got the Streisand range, but she's a fantastic student of soul (and Dinah Washington). I hope she can work with Spector if he ever gets free. She should work with George Martin--he did wonders for K. Bush.

Don't you love the combination of bells and saxophones on B to B? Just like 1962!!! Dey do run run!

Hope she doesn't burn out. They should lock her in the recording studio--as they should have done with Streisand.

Must for any neo souler/retro souler5
LOVE BACK TO BLACK single. Amy has a wonderful sound all her own, yet clearly influenced by several 50/60's divas. Heads up though, for language when listen around the younglings.
