Wonderful! Lynne is a huge fan of Amy Winehouse - anyone who is not
familiar with her, fire up YouTube and have a listen. To my ear, she
could be recording in the 1940s - a jazz singer. What say you?

According to my spies Geep of (No Spam) writes

She's very modern in one aspect of her singing style, I think - lots of
notes sung in almost every line - but has a very jazzy style and a
lovely older-school slurred tone to her voice. The other vocal divas all
tend to have the same squeaky-clean better-enunciated sound but are dull
in comparison. Amy's songs are far more interesting lyrically as well,
plus she looks great too.

Hi Geep! I lurve her too! Some DJ said she's a cross between Billie Holiday
and Lauryn Hill. I'd go along with a modern Billie H.

Her songs certainly have a raw sexuality, and they ring true. I like that
she doesn't apologize for cheating.
