Amy Winehouse's inspired fusion of blues, jazz, R&B, soul, and classic girl group dynamics into a compelling whole reveals an artist who knew how to listen to music and pull what she needed from what went before, which is why this 26-track playlist of some of the records that influenced her is so interesting.
