Magnificent Albums #01 - Back To Black/////////Amy Winehouse (2006)

How would anyone write this story? An english singer-songwriter with a broken heart who loves the 60's sound from Motown and Phil Spector-produced girl bands joins two amazing producers and records one of the most beloved albums of the century, re-shaping the way to blues, jazz and r&b return to the charts and re-live a phenomenon.

In short, that's the story of Amy Winehouse's second record, "Back to Black", that transformed Amy into a legend but also gave her the curse of the lack of privacy that many artists succumb to.

The album was produced by Mark Ronson, Salaam Remi and Amy herself. Was recorded in 5 different studios and recorded with the funk/soul band "The Dap-Kings". The original UK version of the record was released with eleven tracks and five killer singles were released. All of them are neo-classics: "Rehab", "You Know I'm No Good", "Back To Black", "Tears Dry on Their Own" (a song made over "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", a Marvin Gaye and Tammi Tarrell classic) and "Love is a Losing Game".

It's a hard listen, but all the details make this a truly...

Magnificent Album.
