It needed a woman like Amy Winehouse to give sould music back its soul.


Oh I disagree with this. First off Houston wasn't really a soul singer and never really pretended to be. She was always pop. Secondly I think Winehouse was horribly derivative and frankly wasn't that talented. That said I don't have to like or dislike someone's music to be sad that they're gone too soon however it occurred.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
