This week we're re-releasing our episode about the life and tragic death of one of history's greatest pop stars: Amy Winehouse. We wanted to revisit this one to call attention to Amy's legacy, and to boost awareness of the She Recovers Foundation, an organization that helps those who identify as women seek help with mental health issues. 

ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:

Despite incomparable talent, Amy Winehouse's reputation became far more about her struggles with drug addiction and a troubled relationship.  When she died in 2011, she joined The 27 Club, a group of similarly gifted musicians who all left the world too soon and at the same age.  This week, Sarah and Sadaf remember just how lucky the world was to have a musician like Amy, and ask who her death falls on – her family, the fans, social media? They are joined by Zeth Lundy, the writer behind 27 Club, the podcast, to reminisce and recall  that singular voice.
