Most of the songs on Back to Black were solely written by Winehouse,[19] as her primary focus of the album's sound shifted more towards the style of the girl groups from the 1950s and 1960s. Winehouse worked with New York singer Sharon Jones's longtime band, the Dap-Kings, to back her up in the studio and on tour.[20] Her father, Mitch Winehouse, relates in his memoir, Amy, My Daughter, how fascinating watching her process was, especially with witnessing her perfectionism in the studio. She would also put out what she had sung on a CD and play it in his taxi outside to know how most people would hear her music.[21]

The fourth song on the album, "Just Friends", is about "[a woman] trying to pull away from an illicit affair", with lyrics indicating, "The guilt will kill you if she don't first". It is a "ska-soul" song[50] with a "pulsing reggae groove" throughout the track.[38] Jon Pareles of The New York Times elaborates that Winehouse makes songs such as "Just Friends" into "games of tone and phrasing [...] withholding a line and then breezing through it, stretching out a note over [her backing band]'s steady beat".[51]

Following Winehouse's death on 23 July 2011,[135] sales of Back to Black drastically increased across the world. The album rose to number one on several iTunes charts worldwide.[136] On 24 July 2011, with fewer than seven hours sales after the announcement of her death counting towards the respective week's chart figures,[137] the album re-entered the UK Albums Chart at number 49 with 2,446 copies sold.[138] The following week, it soared back to number one,[77] marking the fourth time the album had reached the top of the chart. Back to Black held the top spot for two additional weeks.[139][140] On 26 July 2011, Billboard reported that the album had re-entered the Billboard 200 chart dated 6 August 2011 at number nine with sales of 37,000 copies,[141] although that week's chart only tracked the first 36 hours of sales after her death was announced.[142] The following week, it climbed to number seven with 38,000 copies sold after a full week's worth of sales.[143] In Canada, the album re-entered the Canadian Albums Chart at number 13 on sales of 2,500 copies.[144][145] It rose to number six the following week, selling an additional 5,000 copies.[146] In continental Europe, Back to Black returned to the number-one spot in Austria,[147] Croatia,[148] Germany,[149] the Netherlands,[150] Poland[151] and Switzerland,[152] while reaching number one for the first time in Italy.[153]

Ronson's sneaky production provides most of the album's wit: The old school backdrop to "Me & Mr. Jones" is especially winking against couplets like "What kind of fuckery is this? You made me miss the Slick Rick gig." But Winehouse's zingers (in that same song she tells her subject "'side from Sammy you're my best black Jew") and profane interjections (the title track begins "He left no time to regret/ Kept his dick wet") are only an occasional thing as she travels a well-worn lyrical path to both clinical and romantic rehabilitation.

back to BACK TO BLACK: the AMY WINEHOUSE celebration is an exciting dedication to the life and music of AMY WINEHOUSE with a 12-piece band and revival of the entire 2006 Grammy Award-winning album BACK TO BLACK in its entirety, plus many other Amy selections. Including the hits "Tears Dry On Their Own", "Rehab", "Love is a Losing Game", "You Know I'm No Good", and many more, the show features a horn section, several vocalists, and musicians from many notable touring acts, making it the only revue of its kind in the US celebrating the music of Amy Winehouse. The evening is hosted and presented by acclaimed entertainer Remember Jones, who has shared stages with Bruce Springsteen, Ronnie Spector, Darlene Love, George Clinton, and many more.

Producer Remi thought the album needed something up-tempo and suggested that Winehouse set her slower, sadder conception of this song against a backing track based on the Nick Ashford/Valerie Simpson classic "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," which was originally recorded by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell for the Tamla/Motown label and was later a solo hit for Diana Ross.

Six of Back To Black's 11 songs, including "Rehab," were given a retro feel courtesy of musical backing by members of the Dap-Kings, a New York-based funk/soul band who backed vocalist Sharon Jones. Ronson worked with Winehouse and the Dap-Kings separately in London and New York, and the singer didn't meet the band until promotions for the album began. The Dap-Kings did play live engagements with Winehouse, including her first U.S. tour and TV appearances on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" and "Late Show With David Letterman."

With an effervescent backing of black-suited dancers, Gosling leaned into the universal male yearning of the instant Barbie classic. And the arena rock magnitude was helped along by two guitar shredders who rightly dominate that world: Slash and Wolfgang Van Halen.

Brad: I wonder that too. This album became such a huge hit around the world very quickly when it came out. She had an amazing sound that even though it was a throwback to the 60s sound, it still sounded fresh and appealed to many different generations at the same time. 0852c4b9a8
