Amy Winehouse was a legend; so young when she started she rose to a level of fame that most people only dream of - except for one thing - Amy never wanted to be as famous as she had became - to quote Tony Bennett  she was the definition of a "true jazz star" and jazz stars are infamous for NOT wanting a 1000 people in their face - Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, or Bennett himself, just to name a few - these were quiet, beautiful people who just wanted to share their voice with the world and yet sometimes fame brought to them excesses unwanted - Billie it was heroin, Bennett for a long while it was cocaine, and then there is Amy, whose affinity for purging what she'd eaten "bulimia" and then the excesses of drugs and alcohol were powder kegs for dangerous mixes.A little of her life mixed in with a small study of her death - her is AMY - as beautiful as she were.
