On September 12, some of Broadway's brightest talents sang completely new arrangements of the hits of Amy Winehouse in the most recent concert of the BROADWAY SINGS concert series. More than 20 Broadway performers were accompanied by a full band playing brand new, original orchestrations of the English singer's greatest songs. The concert is the fifth of the series; previously honored were Adele, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, and Stevie Wonder. Below, check out a video of Jared Zirilli (We Will Rock You) and Whitney Bashor (Bridges of Madison County) performing "He Can Only Hold Her" at the concert!

Following the 2006 release of her second album, Back to Black, Amy Winehouse became the first British female to win five Grammys, including three of the "Big Four": Best New Artist, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. Back to Black posthumously became the UK's best-selling album of the 21st century, at that point. In 2012, Winehouse was listed at #26 on VH1's 100 Greatest Women in Music. The BBC has called her "the pre-eminent vocal talent of her generation".
