Winehouse undeniably left her mark as one of this generation\u2019s most genuine and striking talents and this expansive body of work documents her frank, fresh and haunted musical style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Winehouse\u2019s multi-genre compositions remain timeless. Often influenced and moulded by soul, jazz and blues greats, Winehouse brought these styles forward and into the modern era with a fresh and contemporary approach. The \u2018At The BBC\u2019 collection is a fitting tribute to Winehouse\u2019s incomparable artistry, breathtaking talent and magnificent ability as a songwriter, a singer and a truly engaging performer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first record consists of tracks handpicked by presenter, collaborator and much-loved musician, Jools Holland. Holland championed Winehouse massively throughout her career and his appreciation for her work remains an integral part of his reputation. Disc two is made up of tracks taken from various BBC sessions including performances at Jo Wiley\u2019s Live Lounge, The Stables and T in the Park. The third record captures the 2007 show \u2018Live At Porchester Hall\u2019 where a 23-year-old Winehouse presented a bold, fiery performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Rehab<\/h2>\n

    Everything changed for Winehouse with the release of Back To Black in 2006.

    You Know I\u2019m No Good<\/h2>\n

    Back To Black\u2019s second single followed suite with its soulful instrumentation blending jazz and blues elements with dashing brass sections.

    Valerie<\/h2>\n

    Originally recorded by English indie group The Zutons, \u2018Valerie\u2019 received some new-soul treatment when Winehouse collaborated with musician and producer Mark Ronson.

    Back To Black<\/h2>\n

    Another collaboration with Mark Ronson resulted in the title track for Winehouse\u2019s second and final studio album.

The track is made up of 1960s worthy soul instrumentation and remains one of Winehouse\u2019s signature tunes.<\/p>\n

    Back To Black peaked at number one in the UK Albums Chart and number two in the Irish Albums Chart. Amy Winehouse produced two sensational records in her short but impactful career. She wowed audiences with her classic, timeless vocal and subsequently, she has influenced a whole new generation of soul artists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
