Amy Winehouse changed the the game with Back to Black, but the story behind the New York and Miami sessions is as complex as the artist herself. In this episode of 50 for 50, hosts Garrett Gonzales and Mike Joseph conduct a comprehensive deep dive into the meteoric rise and tragic shadow of a generational talent.

We explore the transition from her early career to the high-stakes recording process that defined the mid-2000s. The duo breaks down:
