See Amy Winehouse Record "Back to Black" in Beautiful 'Amy' Movie Clip
The Amy Winehouse documentary Amy is in theaters right now. Everything we've seen from it has pounded us right in the heart-bone, including the devastating trailer and the scene where 14-year-old Amy gives the Winehouse Treatment to "Happy Birthday" in a home movie.
Today we've got a video from March 2006 in New York, where Ms. W and her producer and collaborator Mark Ronson (wayyy pre-"Uptown Funk") recorded the instantly iconic "Back to Black." The title track for the gone-much-too-soon chanteuse's second album was an intense process, as she says in the candid footage:
"I really was on a role. Because I have these feelings, I have these words floating around in me. When you write a song, you have to remember how you felt, you have to remember what the weather was like, you have to remember what his neck smelled like—you have to remember all of it."
