No, she wasn’t going to solve her drinking problem, and she could laugh with the world while doing so-all the way to the bank. So, when “Rehab” came out, the song gave Winehouse a way to hide in plain sight. Much of this is highlighted in the fantastic (and very sad) 2015 documentary Amy.

In England, she was known as a drunk and someone who was promiscuous. And she might have been the best singer since Aretha Franklin-a voice that was big, rich, and exceptionally capable. She was a dame and a hip-hop aficionado all at once. She was a rising star with a voice that was both classical in the Billie Holiday sense and new in the Erykah Badu sense. In 2003, Winehouse, who was just 20 at the time (born in 1983), released her debut LP, Frank.
