Please people GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT! Check soundcloud or do a google search for Valerie reggae version. This version was made in the 60's so it's impossible that the zutons made this! Also Steve Winwoods Valerie IS NOT the same song but it was sampled by Eric Prydz in his song Call On Me. Also this reggae version also shows where the vocal style has come from.

No... Only because of her Jewish religion Amy Winehouse did not have an open casket as her grandmother did not as well whom her ashes were hurried next to. They were both cremated directly after the funeral at the same crematorium and hurried. There are photos posted of her green urn held by her bodyguards before the burrial and pics of her tombstone. I am her #1 American fan and miss her dearly and will always love her. Her death was the most difficult "celebrity" death for me ever.

Has Amy Winehouse ever gone to rehab?

No. There was no rehab in those days. Uppers and downers were par for the entertainer industry course. You had to get up at 4:00 am to get to the studio early to take advantage of shooting in sunlight. You had to go to bed really early too, thus the barbituates. Barbituates were not known to be habit forming then. No one thought any thing about it until Alan Ladd died from barbituates and alcohol in late sixties. My grandmother used to take dexies to lose weight. Commonly available. Handed out over doctor's counters in office. Once saw a diet doctor in Sherman Oaks who had drawers full of different colored dexies in huge pound bags. Rich people put their teen-age daughters on them regularly. No one knew. People close to Monroe tried to get her to cut back put she would not. She always had trouble sleeping, probably caused by the dexies. She was also surrounded by enablers and other users who DiMaggio banned from attending her funeral.

I'm not sure about the actual drugs she did in the hours leading to her death but according to past news articles and reports, she often used heavy doses of cocaine, crack cocaine ketamine and ecstasy, more often than not at the same time and in two to three day stints.

She was also said to have been greedy for the substances, taking large doses even when advised first hand by the dealers themselves the supply was very strong.

Still though, she is a very private person, so who knows if it has.
