Amy Winehouse was an amazing singer that captivated me. She had the talent to sing jazz and did so with Tony Bennett. When I would watch her working with him I had no doubt that she loved him. The emotion that poured out of her was incredible and I wished they had done more together. Her death was a shock to many, myself included. I have a friend and he and I can just and listen to her sing with both of us non-conversant so we don't miss a moment or a note.I selected this video from BBC where she takes the Beatle song "All my Loving" and caresses it. It was rock song, but she selected a guitar player to share his talent with her. This had to be early in her career because there were no visible tattoos. Her rendition just flows and encapsulates for 3:05 minutes. When it's over just reflect on what you heard. It's appropriate place to put on my song choices and bridges the opener to the 1965 and then to 2006 when she recorded it for all of us.

I also selected this song with Amy and Tony Bennett singing together.

Just watch the way she looks at him. It tells the entire story. After you listen to both cuts it could possibly change your view on life.
