VH1 ranked Winehouse 26th on their list of the 100 Greatest Women in Music.
After her death, Back to Black temporarily became the UK's best-selling album of the 21st century. She died of alcohol poisoning on 23 July 2011 at the age of 27. Winehouse was plagued by drug and alcohol addiction. At the 50th Grammy Awards in 2008, she won five awards, tying the then record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night and becoming the first British woman to win five Grammys, including three of the General Field "Big Four" Grammy Awards: Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year (for "Rehab"), as well as Best Pop Vocal Album. The song " Rehab" won her a second Ivor Novello Award. At the 2007 Brit Awards it was nominated for British Album of the Year, and she received the award for British Female Solo Artist. Winehouse released her follow-up album, Back to Black, in 2006, which went on to become an international success and one of the best-selling albums in UK history.
The song " Stronger Than Me" won her the Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors. Frank was a critical success in the UK and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Many of the album's songs were influenced by jazz and, apart from two covers, were co-written by Winehouse. Winehouse's debut album, Frank, was released in 2003. She also formed a working relationship with producer Salaam Remi through these record publishers. She is known for her deep, expressive contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres, including soul, rhythm and blues and jazz.Ī member of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra during her youth, Winehouse signed to Simon Fuller's 19 Management in 2002 and soon recorded a number of songs before signing a publishing deal with EMI. In any event, the award of a lump sum and a regular allowance doesn’t tend to happen and, if the claim is successful, Mr Fielder-Civil may only receive one of these.Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011) was an English singer and songwriter. Even though the estate will probably have grown during the intervening period from royalties due, it may not be worth pursuing a claim if there is a lack of funds available. If, as it appears, the payment was regarded as a ‘clean break’ and made with the expectation that no further payments were due, then that would also make it more difficult for Mr Fielder-Civil to bring a successful claim as he would have to challenge the fairness of the payment.įinally, because the estate was distributed almost eight years ago, it is possible that much of it will have already been spent, invested or donated. If this is the case in this instance, Mr Fielder-Civil will have to find a way around any existing clause to that effect.įurthermore, as part of the divorce settlement, Mr Fielder-Civil received a payment of £250,000 from Ms Winehouse. Often, the financial settlement that follows in such cases will include a clause to prevent claims of this kind from being made. The couple’s two-year marriage ended in divorce in 2009. Therefore, because the time limit has expired, Mr Fielder-Civil must ask the Court for permission to bring the claim out of time. Mr Fielder-Civil’s potential claim is interesting for a number of reasons, notwithstanding the celebrity element of the case.įirst, there is a six-month time limit for bringing a claim under the Inheritance Act 1975 from the time that the Grant of Probate was issued (in this case, March 2012). Her assets, amounting to almost £3million, went to her parents under intestacy rules. Amy died, aged 27, of alcohol poisoning in 2011 without leaving a Will.
