Remembering Amy Winehouse – family, friends, and fans mourn and celebrate her life and death

It has been one year since Amy Winehouse was found dead by her bodyguard in her Camden Square residence in London due to alcohol intoxication.

Winehouse, 27, known for her soulful and jazzy vocals mixed with a strong undertone of R&B, turned to drinking in 2008 after having quit drugs. At the time of her death, ruled unintentional, Winehouse's blood alcohol content was measured at over five times the legal drink-drive limit.

According to Winehouse's father Mitch Winehouse who spoke to the Associated Press last week, family and friends will celebrate the artist's life by attending her house for Jewish prayer and spending time with fans, who began lining up notes and flowers outside Winehouse's home earlier this morning.

Winehouse's father told AP, "There are going to be lots of tears and lots of laughter and that is exactly how Amy would have wanted it."

Although talks of a film about Winehouse's life are still hearsay, Mitch Winehouse confirms to AP and as reported in the LA Times that unreleased, unfinished tracks made by Amy before the time of her death are currently being worked on.

"We're working with [producers] Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson to see what they've got," he said. "But we have to be mindful; we don't want to put anything out that could be damaging. It wouldn't be right for Amy's fans."

Also in honor of Winehouse's death, her family set up the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which aims "to support charitable activities in both the UK and abroad that provide help, support or care for young people, especially those who are in need by reason of ill health, disability, financial disadvantage or addiction."

The Foundation will sponsor the first annual Amy Winehouse Inspiration Awards and Gala on October 11 in New York, in of honor Remi and Tony Bennett. Winehouse recorded a duet of "Body and Soul" with Tony Bennett shorty before the time of her death.
