THEY HAD IT ALL. OR DID THEY?
Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011) was an English singer and songwriter known for her powerful deep contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres including R&B, soul and jazz. Winehouse's 2003 debut album, Frank, was critically successful in the UK and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Her 2006 follow-up album, Back to Black, led to six Grammy Award nominations and five wins, tying the then record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night, and made Winehouse the first British female to win five Grammys, including three of the "Big Four": Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
In 2007 she won a Brit Award for Best British Female Artist; she had also been nominated for Best British Album. She won the Ivor Novello Award three times: once in 2004 for Best Contemporary Song (musically and lyrically) for "Stronger Than Me", once in 2007 for Best Contemporary Song for "Rehab", and once in 2008 for Best Song Musically and Lyrically for "Love Is a Losing Game".
Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning on 23 July 2011. Her album Back to Black subsequently became the UK's best selling album.

Died:(age 42) in Memphis, Tennessee, USAWhat went wrong? They had it all, or did they? If they did, I don't want it. Success, what is your definition? Mine is simple. It is to use the gift God has given you to benefit others. That was not always my definition. At one time it was to get to the top of the music industry. I got very close and when I got there I was miserable. I'm not going to give you some kind of magic solution. You need to find your own answer. I urge you to think long and hard before pursuing your career any further . However I will pose a few questions to get you started. 1. What if you made it to the top and your record deal was pulled out from under you? It happens every day! 2. What if you lost your voice? It happens every day! 3. What if your musical talent was stripped from you due to a physical illness? It happens every day! 4. What if your fans forget about you? It happens every day! Need I go on? I think not!
