Amy Winehouse and Nat King Cole

Today I have music for you by an artist who is one of the most iconic singers of the common era of music. Amy Winehouse had a voice that was sultry and powerful, a voice that was recognizable anywhere and everywhere. Her voice is a beautifully raspy voice which gives her songs that feeling of being lost in a smoky jazz room. Amy Winehouse was a woman of many gifts and talents, most known for her vocal capabilities. She is the kind of singer who captured the calmer and the more subtle and provocative nature of jazz music while being very upfront and open about mouthing off. There is a very charming nature to her music because of that, and it is hard to not be seduced by her originality and creativity. One of the things that make Amy Winehouse such an icon for this generation, is her modern twist to an older style of music. Swing and jazz were once the most popular sound, and Amy Winehouse beautifully takes that style and makes it her own. She adds her own rebellious spirit to the music,
