Amy Winehouse: Influences

Amy Winehouse's signature sound came from her deep love of soul music in all its forms: She appreciated the witty verve of Sarah Vaughan as keenly as the intricate wordplay of Mos Def. A true scholar of the genre, she sketched a line between girl groups like The Shangri-Las and tongue-twisting MCs like Ghostface Killah with her fusion of vulnerability and swagger.
