...Amy Winehouse

Believe it or not I ma still not fully over the death of Amy Winehouse. However she did leave her fans a parting gift, music. Spokesman Chris Goodman said Thursday that Winehouse left behind "plenty" of material, but there have been no discussions yet about releasing anything. The Guardian newspaper on Thursday quoted an unnamed spokesman "close to" record label Universal as saying Winehouse had left the "framework" of about a dozen songs. Producer Salaam Remi, who worked on both Winehouse albums "Frank" and "Back to Black" and was involved with her new material, told DJ Kim Kane of New York's Power 105.1 radio station that there were not large amounts of finished material, and Winehouse's estate had yet to approve the release of anything. I want nothing more than more songs from Amy, an album or two would be nice as well. However if it negates her legacy then I will be okay with her two albums and other songs she was featured on. I am sure her family will allow her music to be released with a large amount, if not all, of the proceeds from that album going to the charity her father is setting up in her name to help people with addiction who cannot afford treatment. Along with this news I found out a little more about Amy's on again off again boyfriend Reg Traviss. The accomplished British film maker on the rise was approved of by Amy's father. He said Amy felt good about life and was looking forward to a future with him. He also said she was happy, the happiest she had been in years. This just adds to the mystery surrounding her death. Still I am going to give this a Digit Up. I see good things for the legacy of Amy Winehouse.
