Found this on whosampled.com - it's pretty cool to what her influences were ... I love how we see other music samples within her own songs.......I mean it's her own lyrics, her own music but takes bits and pieces from other places based on who she likes and what she's influenced by....love it..... Classic example is the Ain't no mountain high enough - tears dry on their own - one of my favourites!
Can't post links yet but here's examples:
Amy - Help yourself = Les Brown ft. Doris Day - you won't be satisfied until you break my heart
Amy - In my bed = Nas - Made you look
Amy - You sent me flying = Lafayette Afro rock band - hihache
Amy - He can only hold her = The Iceman - My girl
It's also interesting to see who has been influenced by Amy's music
B.o.B - Grip your body = Amy - Stronger than me
Vera - Lucienne = Amy - Help yourself.... (or obviously.. les brown/doris day)
Obviously other artists are influenced by Amy but these are actual musical influences...
Anyway I thought it would make for an interesting topic - I find it really interesting...

I always try to put my stamp on things, I wanna do it my way, I wanna be different - Amy Winehouse
My greatest fear is dying without anyone knowing of any contribution that I’ve ever made to creative music...but that's cool now because I've made an album...if i died tomorrow I would still find fulfillment - Amy Winehouse
