new

as a fan ive added new info i picked up over the years. i'll expand it a bit this month. the bit i added was-

Further recordings

Other than the rare songs for her 3rd album, there are a few extra possible songs that could be released that wern't on her apparent final album. These are the cover versions of 4 songs, 3 of which were performed live on jools holland's xmas hootenanny show prior to 2010. The bbc also broadcast another cover song called monkey man. There is also a guitar solo version of 'no greater love' available via P2P.

Typo on death date - Death paragraph

Under the death paragraph, page currently reads: One such relapse led to her death by alcohol intoxication in the morning hours of 23 July 2012.[185]

The page should read: One such relapse led to her death by alcohol intoxication in the morning hours of 23 July 2011.[185]

I would change, but it's locked due to vandalism...

Done Thanks for the report I have corrected the year. Keith D (talk) 22:27, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Charity Work

I think we should put stuff in about her charity work on this page. Amy Winehouse supported many charities throughout her short life. She was once named pop worlds most charitable act and was known as a soft touch among the charity community. There are hundreds of charities she donated to especially children's charities, she donated vast amounts of her wealth, time and her music to them. It should be mentioned under the personal life section, I think, as all this mentions is her bad stuff. I would add this myself but I can't edit as it is locked, fucking vandals they ruin it for the rest of us. I can add the links about her charity work if you think it should be added. --Zolfianyarvelling (talk) 17:44, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

People are saying my sources are dubious why? the Amy's army source is a reliable one furthermore, I have the Telegraph and a website about celebrities giving to charities. --86.161.100.117 (talk) 20:25, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
