Yeah she was a genuine talent, as I too only realizes after her passing.
Amy Winehouse - Lioness
I must admit that I always dismissed her mostly because of her antics and drug problems, but I after I got this album, I feel quite differently about her. She manages to make even long-standing standards interesting and engaging, and her voice is quite amazing. On some of the songs she sounds strikingly like Ella, and in general exerts an astonishing command of her voice with no effort.
I felt virtually no emotion after her premature demise, aside from the perhaps typical sadness at the news of someone passing so young. However, now I feel we actually lost a great talent that probably never fully bloomed.
If you've been on the fence about Amy Winehouse, get this album; for the low price of under $20 it's a steal. If you're a fan, it's an absolute must.
