rollingstone: Sixties icon Ronnie Spector was a major influence on Amy Winehouse’s sound and visual style. They shared beehive hair, a talent for deep, smoky vocals, and tragically, a taste for trouble as they hit success.  Spector spoke to Rolling Stone about the sadness of seeing her troubled protégé go:  Amy came to my show in London about six months ago, and she was so shy. She was hiding behind somebody, but I could see the hairstyle, and I knew she was there. That was all I needed. When I sang “Back to Black,” I could see the tears in her eyes, and there were tears in mine. Visit rollingstone.com to hear Spector cover Winehouse’s hit “Back to Black.” Great song and tribute!
