If you like her sound be sure to check out the artists on Daptone Records, especially Sharon Jones. The Dap-Kings perform on Amy Winehouse's album, Back to Black (itself recorded at the Daptone recording studio), and the band toured with her in 2007.
Although, I like Amy's music and am saddened by her tragedy, many felt that her success was another "culture ripoff" ala Pat Boone. Sharon Jones made an interesting comment once paraphrased to "Some people study soul music and then try to sing it; I just open my mouth and soul music comes out".
My take is just enjoy it all....cheers,
