I think it's one semi-tone higher, but apart from that it's a carbon copy! Very Sneaky, Miss Wino ![/quote]
'Tears dry on their own' was co-written by Amy with Ashford&Simpson, who were responsible for 'Ain't no mountain high enough' I believe, so well spotted!
My favourite cut on the album, very Motowny feel-killer song.
I went to see Amy just as she was becoming well known promoting 'Back to black', and her band were knockout, especially the bassist/MD and drummer.
Just great to see players supporting the songs, not afraid of leaving space where required etc.
