'Frank'

When Amy Winehouse got cool.

This kinda started the death pool watch as Winehouse began to make a name for herself for soul and jazz enthusiasts in England and started to create a buzz in the States.

Then she started to do copious amounts of drugs and alcohol and record the stupendous Back to Black album that really put her name on the tip of everyone's tongue around the world.

Frank is the ying to Back to Black's yang. It's entirely more jazzy and something my older sisters would like rather than a hipster favorite or something that would get a bunch of old-school soul brothers in England all excited.

For Winehouse, you have to wonder what he life would've been like had she never made Frank. It's probably wildly unlikely that she gets hooked on drugs although we could never truly know. Is it worth the jail time, trouble and possible earth death to have two highly-regarded pop albums. Does the money and fame really matter other than to buy more drugs? Or get drugs for free? Kinda depends on your priorities.

Although Jimi Hendrix, Mama Cass and Robert Johnson died early, Winehouse will probably live forever.
