Amy Winehouse 'Back To Black' Tops UK Chart After Death

LONDON — Amy Winehouse's album "Back To Black" has climbed back to top of the British album chart, eight days after the singer died in London.

The Grammy award-winning album was also No. 1 in 2006 when it was released. Also on Sunday, Winehouse's debut album "Frank" reached No. 5.

Winehouse has also left a trove of unreleased music, but no decision has been made about whether it will be released.

The 27-year-old soul diva, who had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, was found dead of unknown causes at her London home on July 23.

I think many people didn't want to make the emotional investment in this artist because of the bad choices she was making which culminated in the pictorial chronology of her path to self annihilation. Now, all of those people that blew her off when she was alive can review her music in peace and not feel like they're contributing to a drug addled lunatic. I'm glad her music is up for review because it's brilliant stuff...poignant but brilliant. I for one bought a copy of her Black album and plan on purchasing more of her music as budget allows. Great musician; tragic loss.

At 2:30 in her son "Rehab", Amy sings: "I don't ever wanna drink again...I just..OOhhh, I just need a friend". So sad no one told her what a friend we have in Jesus....so so sad.

There's a great youtube video of Amy singing Valerie and another with her amazingly talented backup dancers/singers. Her music and raw emotion bowled me over the first time I heard her, and I loved her saucy attitude, her humor and what a fashion diva...loved her right off the bat and I was hoping she'd be a female Keith Richards and prove those predicting her death wrong. I'm not a big celebrity follower but there was something so genuine about her that was unlike anyone else. I'm sorry I never got to see her perform live.

Woody Guthrie
Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie (July 14, 1912 – October 3, 1967) is best known as an American singer-songwriter and folk musician, whose musical legacy includes hundreds of political, traditional and children's songs, ballads and improvised ...works. He frequently performed with the slogan This Machine Kills Fascists displayed on his guitar. His best-known song is "This Land Is Your Land". Many of his recorded songs are archived in the Library of Congress. Such songwriters as Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger, Joe Strummer and Tom Paxton have acknowledged their debt to Guthrie as an influence.Guthrie traveled with migrant workers from Oklahoma to California and learned traditional folk and blues songs. Many of his songs are about his experiences in the Dust Bowl era during the Great Depression, earning him the nickname the "Dust Bowl Troubadour". Throughout his life Guthrie was associated with United States communist groups, though he was seemingly not a member of any.Guthrie was married three times and fathered eight children, including American folk musician Arlo Guthrie. He is the grandfather of musician Sarah Lee Guthrie. Guthrie died from complications of Huntington's disease, a progressive genetic neurological disorder. During his later years, in spite of his illness, Guthrie served as a figurehead in the folk movement, providing inspiration to a generation of new folk musicians, including mentor relationships with Ramblin' Jack Elliott and Bob Dylan.See More

Let's hope she's singing on the night shift with Marvin Gaye.

So sick of hearing how "tragic" the death of Amy Winehouse was. While... Justin Allen 23, Brett Linley 29, Matthew Weikert 29, Jesse Reed 26, Matthew Johnson 21, Zachary Fisher 24, Brandon King 23, Christopher Goeke 23, and Sheldon Tate 27 were Marines that gave their lives last month for you. No media for them; no mention of their names. Honor THEM. SEMPER FI!!

I know a few more so-called artists that should try this way to promote their careers.

I get the feeling that the answer to that question is 'No, no, no, nonono'
