“Never, never, but never love a man so much,” Amy Winehouse declared at one of the concerts of her last tour (2011) before singing Love is a losing game. From her broken heart sprang the best love and heartbreak lyrics in a jazz key since Billie Holiday or Frank Sinatra, but also an addiction to drugs and alcohol that ultimately silenced her voice on July 23, 2011.
