Amy, My Daughter
Description
Revealing details about icon Amy Winehouse's childhood, musical influences and substance abuse, this biography by her father "can't fail to move"(The Sunday Times).
The intimate, inside story of the life of multiple Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Amy Winehouse is told by the one person most able to tell it���Amy's closest advisor, her inspiration, and best friend: her father, Mitch.
Sifting fact from fiction, Mitch Winehouse reveals the events and the people that shaped Amy's youth���from her mischievous childhood to her grandmother's Jazz Age stories, to her father singing Frank Sinatra around the house. Shedding light on Amy's musical coming-of-age, Mitch explores how she honed her distinctive sound, created her unforgettable look, and channeled her own life into hits such as "You Know I'm No Good", "Rehab", and "Back to Black" ���some of the most memorable and personal pop music in years.
Mitch holds nothing back about Amy's addiction to drugs and alcohol and the toll it took on the family and friends who refused to give up on her. Dispelling many of the rumors about her tumultuous marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil, Mitch exposes the years of behind-the-scenes drama and explains how, for those who knew Amy in her last months, the greatest tragedy of all was that she finally appeared to be conquering her demons.
Amy, My Daughter��includes exclusive, never-before-seen photos and paints an open and honest portrait of one of the greatest musical talents of our time.
