Amy Winehouse’s family is releasing a new book to celebrate what would have been the singer’s 40th birthday. ‘Amy Winehouse: In Her Words’ is a collection of the Grammy winner’s rare photos, drawings and handwritten journal entries. In an exclusive excerpt shared with PEOPLE, her parents reveal the Amy they knew.
Mitch, 72, hopes this book will give people “a real insight into Amy’s personality.” He says, “She was a loyal, generous friend. She’d help anybody… Just a wonderful human being who saw the best in everybody.”Here is an exclusive excerpt from the book’s foreword, written by Winehouse’s parents, Mitch andMany artists talk about waiting for the perfect song to drop into their lap from the heavens. For them, writing is a labor of love, but for Amy, songs seemed to fall easily.
Amy was a girl who absorbed any information spinning around her, but little of it had to do with her lessons. From the outset, we realized that school was probably never going to fulfill Amy. "I’m bored," was a phrase she often repeated. Teachers told us she was bright and capable, yet there was always a "but." But ... she couldn’t sit still, or she couldn’t concentrate, or she misbehaved in class.
Her most famous hit, "Rehab," was written after a conversation she had with Mitch, most likely scribbled down in a notebook. She’d arrived at Mitch’s home with her then-managers Nick Godwyn and Nick Shymansky. Both had been concerned about her drinking and wanted to take her for professional treatment. "I don’t want to go, Dad. I haven’t got ninety days!" she told Mitch.
