Slept on Soul: Amy Winehouse's Frank
Michael A. Gonzales, soulhead, 8 July 2015
DOLLED-UP LIKE a Phil Spector creation doo-wopping on a Bronx boulevard, Amy Winehouse came into most Americans' homes with the release of her second album Back in Black in 2006. Even before I heard her voice, my friend and writer Bob Morales was raving about this girl from England who musically merged her love of old school soul and dusty hip-hop in a way that wasn't corny. After burning me a CD, I immediately understood Bob's attraction to that damaged dame singing about avoiding rehab, the plight of love, and her affection for Nas.
