Amy Winehouse

With the sad death of Ms. Winehouse I would ask her fans to seek out and support some of the real soul survivors and soul sisters who would be thrilled (and deserve) to have some of your CD/download dollars and would love even a small amount of the press bestowed upon Ms. Winehouse. 

For your consideration:  Barbara Lynn, Sharon Jones, Bettye LaVette, La La Brooks, Jean Knight, Tammy Lynn, The Velvalettes, Dorothy Moore, Mavis Staples, Irma Thomas, Barbara Harris and I am sure there are many more I am forgetting about.  Make sure you are supporting the real thing and giving the folks that chose to work and survive the respect, honor and money that are their due!
