Phil, you've probably seen this. What do you think?

I think it's a very accurate story of Amy's life. It got very good reviews at Cannes and her fan base is ecstatic. It opens nationwide in the US on July 10. Highly regarded filmmakers put it together. Amy never wanted fame. She said if she were famous she would go mad. Amy wanted love. It's going to be hard to watch but thrilling at the same time. Exactly how her life was. I think this will add to her legacy in a positive way. This will change a lot of minds about who Amy really was.
Thanks for asking.http://variety.com/2015/film/festivals/amy-review-cannes-amy-winehouse-documentary-1201493207/

Thanks for the link.
I imagine it will be difficult to watch. When she was alive, I paid little attention to her life and just listened to her music. After her death, I looked deeper. Geez, I wish she were still alive.

Here's one you might not have heard before. She was a huge fan of Donny Hathaway.

Thanks for those links...I had not heard the Hathaway, and I have heard some of the Glastonbury...that was a great show.
After I saw the trailer, I YouTubed a bit, and what I saw made me stop poking around. I mean, when she was soooo out of it in public...like on a freeway and everyone is snapping pictures, why is no one fucking getting her into a car or helping her. I hate that. Truly.
I'll see the film...and YouTube her music...I love the ones when she was younger and sang impromptu. Yeah, damn. Oh well. She was awesome.
Nice to share an interest with someone. My husband doesn't really get 'it'. He's a musician, and he's the one who alerted me to her documentary. I mean, he certainly doesn't mind her music...guess it's the tragic muse that doesn't quite move him.

Did you catch NPR's Fresh Air with the documentary director and Amy's ex manager? I think I can attach a link:

Yes, thanks Horse. I've seen the movie twice. If you get a chance to see it at a theater you won't regret going. It's hard to watch but it tells her story. More from a personal perspective instead of a lot of performances. Amy was such a sweet girl hanging out with her gf's. Crazy, funny, smart. When she moved to Camden it was the beginning of the end. If you haven't already, I hope you can see it. If not, I think it will be released in Nov on DVD. Please let me know if you go.
