A member of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra during her youth, Winehouse signed to Simon Fuller's 19 Management in 2002 and soon recorded a number of songs before signing a publishing deal with EMI. She also formed a working relationship with producer Salaam Remi through these record publishers. Winehouse's debut album, Frank, was released in 2003. Many of the album's songs were influenced by jazz and, apart from two covers, were co-written by Winehouse. Frank was a critical success in the UK and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. The song "Stronger Than Me" won her the Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.
Winehouse released her follow-up album, Back to Black, in 2006, which went on to become an international success and one of the best-selling albums in UK history. At the 2007 Brit Awards it was nominated for British Album of the Year, and she received the award for British Female Solo Artist. The song "Rehab" won her a second Ivor Novello Award. At the 50th Grammy Awards in 2008, she won five awards, tying the then record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night and becoming the first British woman to win five Grammys, including three of the General Field "Big Four" Grammy Awards: Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year (for "Rehab"), as well as Best Pop Vocal Album.
Winehouse was plagued by drug and alcohol addiction. She died of alcohol poisoning on 23 July 2011, at the age of 27. After her death, Back to Black temporarily became the UK's best-selling album of the 21st century. VH1 ranked Winehouse 26th on their list of the 100 Greatest Women in Music.

There is no greater love
In all the world, it's true
No greater love
Than what I feel for you

I love the crickets and crackling record sounds on this track. Gives it an old-time intimate vibe, like sitting around a campfire and hearing her sing. I cried when I first heard this song.

Not me. Growing up with vinyl, I'd be happy if I never heard that crackle shit ever again. I'm gonna take this track into an audio editor and run a noise reduction filter on it... and fix it.

pape37 or sitting on the porch, in the outback, with only the light of the fireflies or a small gasoline lamp. You have a shawl caressing your shoulders keeping you warm as you swing on the outdoor swing/ rocking chair... with the sweet sounds of Amy winehouse and the crickets chirping to keep you company

@patmcq I love the vinyl sound and think it works perfectly in this song. I understand where you're coming from that hearing it in every song makes it annoying but when you use it scarcely in a song that allmost calls for it, I think it makes the total sound even better. I love it in some Portishead songs, like e.g. " Undenied" and think it works well in this song too. But we all have different tastes of course.

This is like a song you'd hear in a 1960's movie, sung by the girl truly in love.
