Her first album is often overlooked. Frank is a masterpiece, lyrical so good and written by a teenager. Amy is the first artist since Kurt to move my soul.

I feel the same! She was so raw and crass and confident in that album! It also has a more contemporary jazz/pop feel and less mainstream vibes to it, though Back to Black is still one of the most brilliant, original and incredibly well-balanced albums in the last two decades 🥰

When she sings the word "profound"...chills.

She has this Jeff Buckley-esque fragility to her voice which is so rare. It's generational. Her flame burned really bright. RIP Amy

Back to Black was a life-changing album for me, and it all started with Love Is A Losing Game". After a really bad breakup, on a whim, I flew from NYC - Greece. I was at a rooftop pool where they had played LIALG. Everything about the song struck me. The lyrics, the melody, the VOICE. I hadn't heard anything like it. At that time Amy was still pretty unknown in The States. As soon as I got home I bought B2B and man it made me feel some shit. I resonated with so much of her writing. Truly one of the greats.

I fully 100% agree with you that it is the perfect album! I feel the same about Amy and her music. I never skip a track because I just find them all brilliant. She is one of those rare singers that really moves my soul and makes me emotional and tear up because I feel so blessed to have been around during her whole career and I also feel a tremendous loss from her passing. She will forever have a place in my heart. She's truly a legend

Her voice was like a mix of Billie Holliday and Dinah Washington. I enjoyed watching how passionate you are with her, we could read it in your eyes. I'm the same. She's a LEGEND for sure.

Her live recordings are always incredible. You're that much cooler for having some Amy on the channel.

Beautiful reaction to the best female singer in the last 30 years. Amy was incredible.

Best vocalist of a generation. Truly moving and gut wrenching.

Favorite female singer, by far. Such a tragic loss for music.

What I loved about her too, is she wrote her music, she lived it, felt it and delivered it like no other. My favorite artist above all.

"one I wish I never played" brings me to tears every time. As a vocalist she hits the true centre of her vocal sound, creating a primitive energy that you just tap into. Love her, a true artist.

think you are the only person to see the connection in her lyrics to her vocal performance.. as a writer i think she is so so clever , her ability to weave lyrics around a melody and using dynamics to sell the point ... its not hard to feel her story ... makes you fall in love with her... which is what a good song is all about .... thanks for this ...

Amy was a profoundly gifted artist. A voice for the ages. Words are inadequate sometimes, and this is one of those times. Her loss was such a tragic waste. Somebody that loved her needed to step up. If only. I hope she is resting, one with eternal love and peace.

Jasmine Dakota good for you I think both albums are amazing

Her live performances are absolutely brilliant and haunting. No one performance is exactly the same. Her delivery, timing and cadence is genius level finding these pockets of off beat tempo. She has such awesome vocal range and power but her control and restraint of the power conveying the emotion of the song just blows my mind every time. Always gets an emotional reaction from me.

Pearl Jam - Ten. I'll be honest, I just added the entire back to black album onto my playlist

This rendition for me is The best version of the song. Miss her to the moon and back.

OK, you got me. Never really listened to her before. How in the world did I miss out on this incredible voice? Jeezus what a great song. Great breakdown as usual. Love the channel.

Most genuine reaction I’ve ever seen. Lovely to see how it touched you. Amy was pure talent

Amy is still my favorite. The world lost the rarest and truest type of artist when she left this world 💙

I vividly remember the first time my mom had showed me Amy Winehouse; I believe I was around 12 maybe, I don’t remember the exact date. She asked me if I had ever heard Amy Winehouse’s music to which I told her I hadn’t. The first song she showed me was “Rehab”. We listened and my mind was absolutely blown, it made me realize that music is so much more than just background noise or something to bop your head to. She showed me what people mean when they call music “art”. To this day her music has the exact same effect on me. It hasn’t changed and I don’t think it ever will. May she Rest In Peace, she deserves it.

We love Amy😍♥️

This is exceptional on every level. So much soul poured out of this woman, especially in this performance. Absolutely stunning, and that smile at the end.......she knew it, too.

I agree, one of the best albums ever written, my favourite singer of all time. Some great tracks on Frank, but the live versions are where it’s at

"Once you're gone you can never come back, when you're out of the blue, and into the black." I know Amy wasn't born when Neil Young wrote that song, but she's definitely the most recent star to embody the spirit about which he is singing.

I love this paired back version. Her voice still makes me weep. I remember the day she died. Everyone here in the UK was shell shocked .

She’s the best singer I’ve ever seen!!!

Since you asked, I really think the Counting Crows first release, "August and everything after" is one of the "perfect" albums. A depressing, SUPER 90's album that I don't listen to much anymore. Has to be THAT rainy day... But that drummer on that first album, combined with the songwriting, singing, lyrics, instrumentation, etc. That's a REALLY well done album. Unpausing the video now... :)

OMG...the way you describe your feelings aroused by this song it makes me feel you are reading me completely uncovered. Of course, this is my favorite Amy's song, and my all time favorite. Thanks so much for this deeply heartfelt video.

Agree...BTB is one of my desert island records for sure...Amy was a VERY special once-in-a-generation talent...up there with the greatest female singers of all time imo, and that's not even mentioning her excellent songwriting...an all too brief flyover, but a legacy that will live forever...

to see you making a reaction to the videos of the best singer of the last 1000 years, make me believe that there are still people who know how to honor and give due value to a goddess like she

I'm from Spain, it's hard for me to understand everything you say in the video, but I don't need it, I love the way you listen to the song, how do you look at it, I've been a fan of Amy since I can remember. I've been playing guitar for years, this song makes me cry. Thank you for teaching me how to play this song, you have made my day..

My all time favorite song by Amy… she was 1 of 1. 🖤

She’s even more than herself it’s probably the only thing where she can truly be herself and express herself to the full. She is a true one off and I feel privileged that I was here while she came and showed us something very special

Thanks for this Michael. I so appreciate your knowledge and the theory breakdown, but more so your respect for the pure artistry.

Binky Griptite is an amazing guitarist, leader of the Daptones (supporting the great Sharon Jones). His playing is pure gold

As a long time amateur bass player and lover of Amy Winehouse's songs and music, I really enjoyed your appreciation and breakdown of what is happening musically here. And it's a new recording to me - really beautiful.

Michael, I liked your reaction to Amy Winehouse, one of those great ones that left us too soon! I really like female singers with strong stylistic capabilities including Amy and Nancy Wilson with the song "You don't know" and a fresh talent called Celeste " Both sides of the moon".

Your enthusiasm and love for this song just brightened up my day. I've watched it twice

I could never get past “Love is a fate resigned” part How beautiful and true and painful it is. Amy is my girl from the beginning to the end to forever.

One of my favourite songs of all time. Glad someone else appreciates the genius of this one

She sings like a good jazz instrumentalist plays. With dynamics, rythm, expression, feeling. She was a modern day Billie Holiday. I didn´t get that when she was alive, I hadn´t gotten into playing jazz piano at that point, so I couldn´t truly appreciate what a great artist she was then.

This performance is giving chills her emotions are incredible i love her so much❤

After all these years, and after having heard it a hundred times, I still get misty-eyed when I hear her perform this song. Especially with this version.

Anyone else notice the pure excitement on Michaels face when watching Amy sing? And how he anticipated the each note, its like watching a kid who is watching his role model and i adore it.

You said it perfectly, she sings "free". I didn't know a lot about jazz, but wow, Amy is special. I think if you hear someone who is stunning, it doesn't matter the genre, you can tell their special. Thank You. RIP Amy.

Another tragic tale. Can't even imagine what Amy would be giving us now. Neil could change his song lyric to "27, and there is so much more..."

Like the fact you don’t only focus on guitarist, but also amazing vocalist. Your a champ!

I was born and raised in Africa. I am still finding it difficult to get over Amy's passing. I think she was and still is the best. RIP.

Have you ever heard his acoustic version of Im no good where she's in the studio with only his guitar just playing wit the notes like she was a cat with a ball of yarn? Or her cover of CUPID on eurockeennes girl was ON FIRE that nite I'll LOVE to see your reaction

So true. Great perspective. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon is a perfect album

Perfect album - Radiohead - "OK Computer". Its incredible

I love Amy Winehouse and she was so gifted. Thanks for the tutorial. I wish you would do Valerie, the slower version🙏🏻

She was a phenomenal talent, however I think that her band were often overlooked, they are incredibly talented musicians.

Hey Michael- Thanks so much for this video! She was a genius and this breakdown/reaction video is testament to that. I really like how the music truly moves you and i agree about the Cobain reference! Please do more of her songs whenever you get some time

I agree. Amy had that. I put Lou Reed in the same category. And also Joni Mitchell without the darkness. All true artists in my estimate.

A perfect road trip album...especially going across that long stretch of desert between Phoenix and Puerto Peñasco(Rocky Point)...Is by a local band... THE REFRESHMENTS, "FIZZY FUZZY BIG AND BUZZY". A great story-telling album covered throughout with what your favorite foundation is for a good song. DETAILS. DETAILS. DETAILS. This is back when they still had Brian Blush as their lead guitarist, and every song is filled with hot hooks and riffs.

Best review and reaction ever Michael. My opinion of Amy is she brings her inner drummer, limbs, face, neck, shoulders and voice all working independently but all on point.

Awesome Michael, love the inspiration at the end. Said from the heart. Thank YOU for these vids. I love them as I'm sure many do !!

Mike, i just wanted to say thank you for these videos. Thank you for bringing the best of music to us and letting us explore completely different generes and styles, but at the same time explaining what makes every song so special. As a guitar player, I have learned a lot from the past month since I´ve discovered your channel. Love to see your enthusiasm making these videos! This channel is really something special. Cheers from Argentina!

She will live with us all forever, she is one of those few artists that as long as there is music she will be relevant. You did her proud. Something from 'The Chameleons UK' would be wonderful.

I will never be able to experience this song as you can, or appreciate the craftsmanship behind it, I know in my soul this is one of the best song ever written and performed. It is visceral and beautiful and poetic and heartbreaking. Perfectly Amy.

What a great song, thank you Michael to breaking it down and making it love it even more.

Hi Michael, I think I feel the same way about her that you do. It is musical genius

Fantastic album! My favourite track on there is Me & Mr. Jones. The swing in the rhythm section is insane, not to mention the impeccable backing vocals and horns.

Thanks for sharing! Amy is still one of my favorite artists, her music is pure gold, melody mixed by emotions and soul... and after all this years, she stills moves me when I hear her. Thanks a lot from an Amy's fan! :)

Just happened to watch her doc on netflix a week or so ago and have been diving into her brillance for the first time. Great timing and thanks for your interpretation

Perfect album is back to black, Peter green in the skies album and Antonio Carlos Jobim wave album

Thank you for recognizing. This is my very early exposure.

You saw her in Pimplico? That had to be during your Charleston years. Blind Melon's first album is great from start to finish.

I continued to be surprised how mine and your musical journey is similar. Although I've never been the player that you clearly are (not yet anyway 😁). I have progressed from rock to metal, blues, jazz, bluegrass and finally came back to classic country and rock, gigging a couple times every month with some great guys. Although I've only tapped the surface, your course has improved my playing more than I could have imagined. I now see the fretboard as a blank canvas to express whatever emotions I have inside. After playing for 35+ years, this old dog is learning new tricks. Many, many thanks for what you do. Rock on!!
