But there was only ever one Amy Winehouse. She was frank and fresh and haunted. And we miss her.” - Mark Cooper BBC 24 MARCH 2021 (TORONTO, ON) - “Amy Winehouse At The BBC”, a 3xLP/ 3xCD collection chronicling the many remarkable performances by arguably the greatest and most genuine talent to emerge in British music in decades, will be released on May 7th 2021 through UMC/Island.
