Monday, July 25th, 2011
The news of British songstress Amy Winehouse’s tragic death has saddened the world since yesterday. Not only has the music world lost an amazing talent, but a young life with so much potential has ended at just 27. Join Red karaoke has we remember the incredible vocalist and musician Amy Winehouse was with our five favorite songs by her.
When Rehab hit the radio, the combination of jaw dropping vocals and uniquely non pop musical style stopped everyone in their tracks and sent the single soaring up the charts. It is, to date, Winehouse’s most memorable single, with three grammy awards and spawning many celebrity covers.
Another mixture of jazz and R&B, You know I’m no good also adds hip hop inspired beats to the raspy vocals Winehouse is known for. The single was a huge success, featured in many media outlets and named by Entertainment Weekly as the second best song of 2007.
A beautiful and moody ballad of sorts, Back to black is one of Red Karaoke’s favorite Winehouse singles with its incredible display of Winehouse’s emotional and vocal prowress. We also kind of like Santana’s version from Glee!
Also a favorite of singer George Michael’s, Love is a losing game was named on his eight choices for a BBC special. Prince also likes to cover the beautiful single that has garnered most of the biggest British music accolades.
Sampling Ain’t no mountain high enough and inspired by Marvin Gaye, last on our list of five favorite Winehouse singles is Tears dry on their own.
