BBC Radio 2 - Celebrating Music's Greatest Stars, Amy Winehouse: Legacy of a Lioness: Episode 1

Jessie Ware, Ella Henderson and Alexandra Burke celebrate Amy's life and legacy.

Jessie Ware, Ella Henderson & Alexandra Burke celebrate Amy's life & legacy, 10 years on from her tragic death.

Originally broadcast in 2021 to mark 10 years since the tragic passing of singer and artist, Amy Winehouse, one of the UK’s greatest music talents. Her story has been well told over the years, but now looking back, her legacy lives on. Amy led the way as a British female voice in reaching a worldwide audience. Although hugely talented in their own right, many of today's biggest artists recognise this contribution to their own careers, including multi award winning singer-songwriter Adele.

In the first episode of this two-part special, we celebrate Amy’s life and legacy, taking a trip down memory lane playing songs from her two phenomenal albums, and we hear from UK female artists Jessie Ware, Ella Henderson and Alexandra Burke - sharing their favourite songs and memories of Amy and her music. They also discuss how she influenced them and helped open doors for them in their own careers, and look back on some of Amy's career highlights including her record breaking Grammy Awards win in 2008.
