Amy Winehouse in Her Own Words

Portrait of Amy Winehouse through interviews and performances, some previously unseen. Including Glastonbury, Later...with Jools Holland and the Jazz and Soul Britannia series.

A portrait of Amy Winehouse the artist threaded together from extracts from interviews she gave to the ±«Óãtv for a variety of documentary projects including the Jazz and Soul Britannia series on ±«Óãtv Four, much of which material is previously unbroadcast, blended with performances from across her career, including some which are also previously unbroadcast and unseen.

Winehouse had a strong relationship with many parts of the ±«Óãtv from when she launched herself as an artist back in 2004. In her short musical career, the north London native changed the landscape of modern pop culture, won countless awards, achieved critical acclaim and garnered global success before tragically dying at the tender age of 27.

Originally broadcast on the eve of the release of Asif Kapadia's Amy documentary film which explores Winehouse's life and death, here is an exploration of her music and her influences in her own words.

Consisting of performances and interviews entirely from the ±«Óãtv archives, this film celebrates Amy's music, her influences, her challenges as an artist and her eternal brutal honesty in her own words. Featuring exclusive unseen and rarely seen songs from her triple platinum selling album Frank and revered Grammy-winning album Back to Black, the programme pays homage to the tattooed rebellious rock 'n' roll-spirited songstress who wrote smart, sad, soulful and original pop songs that became instant classics and inspired a generation.
