 | | Description: | BACK TO BLACK â?? The Real Story Behind The Modern Classic recounts how Amyâ??s best known and most celebrated body of work came into being. Featuring previously unseen footage of Amy, new interviews with producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, and the musicians who worked with Amy on the album, it offers fresh insights into Amyâ??s remarkable gifts as a singer, songwriter, musician and performer.
Also includes AN INTIMATE EVENING IN LONDON, a full private show Amy hosted in February 2008, which has never been seen â?? until now. Amyâ??s performance sees her in fine form, relaxed and playing for family and friends on the evening she won five Grammy® awards. - 'Back to Black' is the second album from London-based chanteuse Amy Winehouse. Although her 2003 debut was a success, her rowdy offstage behavior became the focus of tabloids and critics instead of the music. Because of this, Winehouse stepped out of the spotlight and concentrated on putting the focus back on her music. Three years later, her sophomore release has surprised critics and excited her fan base. Combining a strong, Jazzy vocal style with often frank lyrical content recounting tales of love and loss, Winehouse is a truly talented songwriter with a good ear for melody, making this album an essential purchase. Includes the single 'Rehab'.Issued in a super jewel box with clear tray and an 16-page staple-bound insert booklet containing credits, lyrics and images plus liner notes in English.
