i wonder if amy winehouse's 'accent' is of the language of her record
collection?
jon pareles says, in the nytimes, that
"Ms. Winehouse is English, and British soul singing has always been at least
once removed from its African-American sources. It doesn't have the
foundation that American singers often get by singing in church, since
British singers are more likely to learn soul style from their record
collections."
in that case, i'd say score one for the record collection rather than
church.
