| 09 | Amy Winehouse, Singer | 20120725 | Another chance to hear Guy Garvey focus on Amy Winehouse's music and voice, highlighting her inspirations and achievements in a programme first broadcast in 2012 and repeated as part of a 6 Music Artist Collection marking the 10th anniversary of her death aged just 27. Guy discusses the legendary jazz vocalists and girl groups who inspired her, and celebrates the powerful, inspirational and influential work she produced herself. Amy was a unique talent who performed, wrote and lived with a seductive and startling blend of confidence and vulnerability. She possessed a voice redolent of broken hearts and lost weekends. Guy's documentary begins with Mitch Winehouse describing how his daughter's love of music was fostered as a child. Amy grew up listening to Mitch's favourite singers, who include Frank Sinatra and Nina Simone. And, over the years, she became fascinated by the great artists of the jazz era. She modelled her vocal style on the instrumental playing of Thelonious Monk and Charlie Mingus and name-checked her three favourite vocalists as Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington and Minnie Ripperton. Amy's jazz influences were evident on her debut album Frank. Recorded in 2003, when Amy was only 19, the album was a glossy mixture of breezy funk, dub and jazz-inflected soul and her song craft was praised for its brutal honesty. That honesty was further evident on the 2006's Back to Black in which Amy's musical transition shifted from jazz to R&B and she openly credited 60s girl groups such as the Shirelles, the Crystals and the Ronettes. Featuring contributions from some of the people who inspired her and worked with her, this programme highlights one of the most gifted and talked-about artists to emerge from the UK music scene in the 21st century.
