A modern diva died...

I've just heard it on the late news: she died in her apartment in London. She was 27.
I mean Amy Winehouse.
I started to cry and I still am...
How to explain? She was so much deeply part of my past life. How to tell about the feeling that grew when I would hear her voice, her musical style, her lost girl ways. My late companion liked her much.
He had me discover the incredible sound music and edgy day-to-day lyrics of that East Ender of a Jewish girl. If talent was to be explained I would just name her. She grew so rich and yet remained an outcast all throughout.
I felt connected to that girl, you know.
My late companion would say that she was a white girl with a black voice taking us back then in the late 50s and early sixties with the black singers of the Motown. Only she did it in the 21st century making it sound modern like and jazzy too.

One more that got cut off in their prime. Remember Otis Redding? (he died at 26 years-old).

You may think that this is too sentimental. May be. I can however think of 2 other artists in full whom I cried for when I heard that they had died. They were Compay Segundo and Gainsbourg. (Actually, I did not cry for Gainsbourg, I was in shock).

Allright, I now am feeling better. Shedding no more tears. Writing did me good, I guess.
Thank you guys for being there and for allowing this post. You have helped ease my pain.

Farewell Amy.

From what I heard myself, she died because of drugs and alcohol, I had never heard of her until today, but nobody can know everything, even in a specific field it's like that. :( :(

Anyway, RIP Amy, I might not having heard of you before, but, I might possibly try some of your songs in the near future. :( :(

And stop making a fool out of me,
Why don't you come over,Valerie?"

Pour Lotus,

Chez moi, le lien est actif.
Une fois que la page s'affiche il faut "jouer" le morceau de ton choix en cliquant dessus sous la section intitulée Top Titres.

Sinon tu fais une recherche dans Google:
Amy Winehouse Deezer

Mieux, sur Youtube tu verras des clips d'elle, comme c'est une star de la scène, c'est encore meilleur.

Le lien vers ses 3 + grand succès musicaux en clips:

Sa bio sur un site japonais JAPAN TODAY:

Troubled diva Amy Winehouse dead at 27

World Jul. 24, 2011 - 05:49AM JST
LONDON —

Few artists summed up their own career in a single song—a single line—as well as Amy Winehouse.
“They tried to make me go to rehab,” she sang on her world-conquering 2006 single, “Rehab.” “I said ‘No, no no.’”

Merci !! Je pensais pas que vous y aviez acces depuis l'Europe, mais quand on tient compte des relations entre le Québec et l'Europe Francophone c'est pas tres surprenant. 8) 8)
