How should Amy Winehouse be remembered? The most gifted breakthrough British pop star of the 2000s would have been 40 next week. Instead, she died in 2011 aged 27.

She was scrutinised minutely but wrongly, as if in a distorting mirror. Meanwhile, the songs that she wrote about her suffering were not cathartic in that they failed to alleviate it.
