Amy Jade Winehouse was born on 14 September 1983 at Chase Farm Hospital in Gordon Hill, Enfield, to Jewish parents.[3] Her father, Mitchell "Mitch" Winehouse, was a window panel installer[4] and taxi driver; her mother, Janis Winehouse (née Seaton),[5] was a pharmacist.[6] Her mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2003.[7] Winehouse's great-great-grandfather Harris Winehouse emigrated from Minsk, Belarus, to London in 1891.[8] She had an older brother, Alex (born 1979).[9] The family lived in London's Southgate area,[3] where she attended Osidge Primary School and then secondary at Ashmole School.[10][11] Winehouse attended a Jewish Sunday school while she was a child.[12] During an interview following her rise to fame, she expressed her dismissal towards the school by saying that she used to beg her father to permit her not to go and that she learned nothing about being Jewish by going anyway.[13] In the same interview, Winehouse said she only went to a synagogue once a year on Yom Kippur "out of respect".[12]
Many of Winehouse's maternal uncles were professional jazz musicians.[14] Amy's paternal grandmother, Cynthia, had been a singer and had dated the English jazz saxophonist Ronnie Scott.[15] She and Amy's parents influenced Amy's interest in jazz.[15] Her father, Mitch, often sang Frank Sinatra songs to her, and whenever she was chastised at school, she would sing "Fly Me to the Moon" before going up to the headmistress to be told off.[16] Winehouse's parents separated when she was nine,[17] and she lived with her mother in Whetstone, London and stayed with her father and his girlfriend in Hatfield Heath, Essex on weekends.[18]
In 1992, her grandmother Cynthia suggested that Amy attend the Susi Earnshaw Theatre School, where she went on Saturdays to further her vocal education and to learn to tap dance.[19][20] She attended the school for four years and founded a short-lived rap group called Sweet 'n' Sour, with Juliette Ashby, her childhood friend,[21] before seeking full-time training at Sylvia Young Theatre School. Several years later it was reported that Winehouse had been expelled at 14 for "not applying herself" and also for piercing her nose,[9][22] but these claims were denied by Sylvia Young: "She changed schools at 15...I've heard it said she was expelled; she wasn't. I'd never have expelled Amy."[23] Mitch Winehouse also denied the claims.[4] An English teacher at the Sylvia Young Theatre School remembered Amy as a gifted writer, predicting that she would become a novelist or journalist.[24] She attended the Mount School, Mill Hill and the BRIT School in Selhurst, Croydon, dropping out at age 16.[25][26]
A deluxe edition of Back to Black was also released on 5 November 2007 in the UK. The bonus disc features B-sides, rare, and live tracks, as well as "Valerie". Winehouse's debut DVD I Told You I Was Trouble: Live in London was released the same day in the UK and 13 November in the US. It includes a live set recorded at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire and a 50-minute documentary charting the singer's career over the previous four years.[48] Frank was released in the United States on 20 November 2007 to positive reviews.[49][50] The album debuted at number 61 on the Billboard 200 chart.[51] In addition to her own album, she collaborated with other artists on singles. Winehouse was a vocalist on the song "Valerie" on Ronson's solo album Version. The song peaked at number two in the UK, upon its October single release. "Valerie" was nominated for a 2008 Brit Award for British Single of the Year.[52][53][54] Her work with ex-Sugababe Mutya Buena, "B Boy Baby," was released on 17 December 2007. It served as the fourth single from Buena's debut album, Real Girl.[55] Winehouse was also in talks of working with Missy Elliott for her album Block Party.[56]
In January 2008, her record label stated it believed the extensive media coverage she had received increased record sales.[176] In an April 2008 poll conducted by Sky News, Winehouse was named the second-greatest "ultimate heroine" by the UK population at large, topping the voting for that category of those polled under 25 years old.[177] Psychologist Donna Dawson commented that the results demonstrated that women like Winehouse who had "a certain sense of vulnerability or have had to fight against some adversity in their lives" received recognition.[177]
Winehouse dated chef-musician Alex Clare in 2006, while on a break from her on-off boyfriend and future husband, Blake Fielder-Civil. She and Clare lived together briefly,[186] and in a pattern that Fielder-Civil would later repeat, Clare sold his story to the News of the World, which published it under the headline "Bondage Crazed Amy Just Can't Beehive in Bed."[187][188][189]
Family and friends attended Winehouse's private funeral on 26 July 2011 at Edgwarebury Lane Cemetery in North London.[271][272][273] Her mother and father, Janis and Mitch Winehouse, close friends Nick Grimshaw and Kelly Osbourne, producer Mark Ronson, goddaughter Dionne Bromfield and her boyfriend Reg Traviss were among those in attendance at the private service led by Rabbi Frank Hellner.[271][272] Her father delivered the eulogy, saying "Goodnight, my angel, sleep tight. Mummy and Daddy love you ever so much."[271] Carole King's "So Far Away" closed the service with mourners singing along.[274] She was later cremated at Golders Green Crematorium.[275] The family planned to sit a two-day shiva.[275] On 16 September 2012, Winehouse's ashes were buried alongside her grandmother's, Cynthia Levy at Edgwarebury Lane Cemetery.[276]
A retired British woman who lives nearby says she sees Amy a lot. 'She is a free spirit, a troubled soul. She seems to be enjoying herself at least, but I wouldn't like to have to be the one to control her.'

Amy Winehouse Dies
GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse died July 23 in London. A cause of death was not provided. She was 27. Winehouse caught her first career break at age 16 when pop singer and friend Tyler James passed on her demo to his A&R representative who was looking for a jazz vocalist at the time, landing Winehouse a deal with Island Records. In 2003 Winehouse released her debut album Frank, which garnered a nomination for the UK's 2004 Barclaycard Mercury Prize. Winehouse's sophomore effort Back To Black was released in the United States in 2007 and peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, marking the highest-charting American debut by a British female recording artist. The album went multi-platinum and spawned two hits on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Rehab" and "You Know I'm No Good," and five GRAMMY Awards, including Best New Artist and Song and Record Of The Year for "Rehab." "Amy Winehouse was a dynamic performer and musician who seamlessly blended rock, jazz, pop, and soul and created a sound all her own," said Recording Academy President/CEO Neil Portnow. "She will forever be remembered for her immense talent, and her music will live on for generations to come." Winehouse was reportedly working on the release of her third album prior to her death.
