Cover: Amy Winehouse, "Valerie"



I first heard this song as performed by Glee, and its original form by the Zutons went on to become one of my faves over the winter. However, it was Winehouse they were covering, and her version signifies her talent for sexy, soulful arrangements that complement her voice: dark and sultry, yet wistful and with no unnecessary embellishments.

I'm not going to pretend I have much to say about her life and death. I'm not a pundit or a preacher. But hey, a talent is gone.
