...INTRODUCTION TO THE ARTIST I think we can quite safely say that everyone knows of Amy Winehouse, but does everyone know about her? Did you know she is the first British female artist to claim 5 Grammy awards in one night? She may be in the tabloids day in day out for things she is getting up to in her personal life but you have to give credit where it is due she is also in the papers a lot because she is good at what she does in her professional life and her album Back to Black represents this.
