Back To Black Amy Winehouse

Back To Black Amy Winehouse, Amy Winehouse’s relatives have launched a search for a talented youngster to win a stage school scholarship in the tragic singer’s name.

Following her death last July (11), the Back To Black hitmaker’s parents set up the Amy Winehouse Foundation to help young drug addicts battle their demons.

They are now offering one teenager financial backing to train at Britain’s revered Sylvia Young Theatre School, where Winehouse herself started out on her path to stardom.

Winehouse’s father Mitch tells Britain’s The Sun, “Amy was a pupil at the Sylvia Young Theatre School. This is where her talent was recognised and nurtured.

“The Foundation would like to give a child who otherwise couldn’t afford the same opportunity the chance to realise their talents.

“The scholarship is such great news for us after all the recent ups and downs.

“Nothing will ever make up for our loss, but this is a wonderful thing for us to be able to do. The scholarship is something that we are deeply, deeply proud to be offering. It will keep Amy’s name alive in the best possible way.”

Sylvia Young adds, “We loved Amy and we are thrilled and honoured the Amy Winehouse Foundation is setting up this scholarship in her name.

Rehab Amy Winehouse

Rehab Amy Winehouse, “Rehab” is a song by English singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse. It was released on 23 October 2006 as the first single from her second studio album Back to Black. It was written by Winehouse and produced by Mark Ronson. The lyrics are autobiographical, and talk about Winehouse’s refusal to enter a rehabilitation clinic. It peaked at number 7 in the United Kingdom on the UK Singles Chart and number 9 in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100.

It has since become a critical and commercial success internationally, and has been referred to as Amy Winehouse’s “signature song”. It won three Grammy Awards in 2008, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and was nominated for two more Grammy Awards. It also won a Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song. Winehouse’s subsequent public battle with drug and alcohol addiction has resulted in some of the song’s popularity and appearance in the media. The song has been covered by a list of artists. Two remixes featuring American rappers Jay-Z and Pharoahe Monch were released in 2008. A further remix by the electronic band Hot Chip was released in the United Kingdom.
