Amy Winehouse had a style all her own

Winehouse often had dark eye liner that curved up like Cleopatra, a unique beehive hairstyle and old-school nautical tattoos that gave her the brand and recognition that was all her own.

Winehouse was born September 14, 1983. She was an English singer-songwriter, known for her powerful voice and her range of styles of singing which were full of soul, kinda jazzy, a classical rock flavor, and R&B.

Signs of the end for Amy Winehouse

Earlier in the week Winehouse made a scene at her teenaged goddaughter Dionne Bromfield's concert at the iTunes festival.

Winehouse was initially in the crowd but in an effort to support Bromfield, a source said: 'Amy staggered onstage and grabbed the mic to beg the crowd to buy her protege’s new album.'

In June, Winehouse cancelled her European tour following a horrendous display at a concert of possible drugs and intoxication as she stumbled around in a daze.
