Amy Winehouse

Oh the dichotomy which is this woman's life.  Superficially, you have seen the pictures splashed on the evening news.  Fact is, she was a very talented singer and songwriter.  Very knowledgeable of popular and rooted American music.  Just watching The Girl Done Good is an education in early American pop music via Frank Sinatra, Motown, Stax, R&B, even Ska.

Sadly, she joins the 27 club, after only 2 albums.  What makes these sensitive musical geniuses flame out?
