R.I.P. Amy Winehouse, Your Voice will live Forever
Some statements on soul-jazz singer Amy Winehouse, who was found dead Saturday at her London home:
"She was my musical soulmate and like a sister to me. This is one of the saddest days of my life." — Producer Mark Ronson, who has worked closely with the singer
___
"She was one of a kind and we were fortunate to have had the chance to make music with her. She was always gracious and a pleasure to work with in the studio and on the road. She brought a lot of people joy with her voice and her irreverent personality. It is a tragedy that she was taken from us so soon when she had much more music to give." — The Dap-Kings, a funk band that played on the singer's second album.
___
"Five-time Grammy winner Amy Winehouse was a dynamic performer and musician who seamlessly blended rock, jazz, pop, and soul and created a sound all her own. Her rich, soulful and unique voice reflected her honest songwriting and earned her a devoted fan following, critical acclaim, and the genuine respect and admiration of her musical peers. She will forever be remembered for her immense talent, and her music will live on for generations to come. Our deepest sympathies go out to her family, friends, and fans during this difficult time." — The Recording Academy
___
"We are deeply saddened at the sudden loss of such a gifted musician, artist, performer and friend. Our prayers go out to Amy's family, friends and fans at this difficult time." — Winehouse's U.S. label Universal Music Group
___
"I was honored then and I am now that I had the opportunity to share the same tour and stage with Amy this year in Brazil ... At our first meeting she was very shy, a sweet girl. Her first words to me were, 'It's so nice to meet you finally, I'm shy, you're a shy girl like me, huh?' ... I am so happy for her recordings as we will forever get to hear a rare talent with a voice all her own. There will never be a tone or vocal delivery like Amy's. May her music and voice live forever." Janelle Monae, Grammy-nominated singer
___
"It's always unfortunate. An addiction is a very serious thing. Like a lot of people who die from addiction, the signs on the wall in behavior, and in the music, and in the behavior. It's unfortunate no one was able to reach her." — George Lopez
"It's sad when you see somebody that talented that passes away and doesn't have to." — Jeff Foxworthy
"I have to say that as tragic as this is you can't want someone to succeed unless that individual wants to, and she was on a downward spiral, and she resisted all help. So what can you do? She's going to go down in history as tragic icon, a bit like Janis Joplin." — Tim Gunn

Russell Brand paid touching Tribute to friend Amy Winehouse
Comedian and Actor Russell Brand paid touching Tribute to friend Amy Winehouse
The pair first met on London's gigging scene, through mutual friends.
Russell Brand said: "When you love someone who suffers from the disease of addiction you await the phone call. There will be a phone call. The sincere hope is that the call will be from the addict themselves, telling you they've had enough, that they're ready to stop, ready to try something new. Of course though, you fear the other call, the sad nocturnal chime from a friend or relative telling you it's too late, she's gone."
Speaking about their first encounter Brand said: "When I first met her around Camden she was just some twit in a pink satin jacket shuffling round bars with mutual friends."
At the time, Russell Brand was barely out of rehab and failed to notice that they both shared an affliction, "the disease of addiction".
On hearing her sultry voice for the first time at a Paul Weller gig Brand said: "I arrived late and as I made my way to the audience through the plastic smiles and plastic cups I heard the rolling, wondrous resonance of a female vocal."
"My ears, my mouth, my heart and mind all instantly opened. Winehouse. Winehouse? Winehouse! That twerp, all eyeliner and lager dithering up Chalk Farm Road under a back-combed barnet, the lips that I'd only seen clenching a fishwife fag and dribbling curses now a portal for this holy sound."
Brand finished up his post with a plea to addicts suffering the same as Amy was.
He said: "Now Amy Winehouse is dead, like many others whose unnecessary deaths have been retrospectively romanticised, at 27 years old. Whether this tragedy was preventable or not is now irrelevant. It is not preventable today. We have lost a beautiful and talented woman to this disease."
"Not all of us know someone with the incredible talent that Amy had but we all know drunks and junkies and they all need help and the help is out there."

Amy Winehouse, "Rehab" Singer Died at her Home in London
The "Rehab" singer Amy Winehouse, found dead at her home in London on Saturday
Amy Winehouse, 27, has died, according to several outlets, including the Associated Press and the UK's Daily Mail.
The "Rehab" singer Amy Winehouse reportedly found dead at her home in London on Saturday, according to The Mail, which was first to report the news.
The cause of her death has not been revealed.
Scotland Yard has stated there were "no signs of foul play," according to TMZ.
Additionally, an autopsy is scheduled to take place tomorrow, the site reported.
A press release from the Metropolitan Police doesn't specifically name Winehouse, but reports that "police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased.
"On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene," the report continued. "Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained."
The singer, whose "Back to Black" album earned five Grammy Awards in 2008, canceled the rest of her summer tour in late June after delivering an erratic performance in Serbia.
