“We’d been writing quite a lot of pop tunes, doing a lot of pop promos with various artists who would come in, many of various, dubious talent," Cang told CNJ.
"It was at a particularly dire time in the pop world — lots of terrible, terrible girl bands and boy bands and we had to make something for them. Amy came in to see us, opened her mouth and just blew us all away.”
According to the publisher, Winehouse was wearing a pair of jeans emblazoned with the words "Sinatra Is God," because of course she was.
Take a listen. Remember she's 17 years old, and this is a demo. What talent.
