Winehouse was a great songwriter and singer, when she wasn't wasted.

Tony Bennet's tribute.

"Amy Winehouse was an artist of immense proportions and I am deeply saddened to learn of her tragic passing. She was an extraordinary musician with a rare intuition as a vocalist and I am truly devastated that her exceptional talent has come to such an early end.

"She was a lovely and intelligent person and when we recorded together she gave a soulful and extraordinary performance. I was honored to have the opportunity to sing with her. It had been my sincere hope that she would be able to overcome the issues she was battling and I send my deepest sympathy to her father Mitchell, her entire family and all of those who loved her."

I can't say that I was a fan, but I can recognize talent when I hear it. She had a very soulful and unique voice. I think a lot of people only know that rehab song, but that one song doesn't really display her talent that much. I can understand why many people liked her.

I'm a big JM fan, and he self-destructed in a similar way. Started off as an incredible young talent and ended up as a laughing stock and drunken slob. Some artists are just troubled.
