For those who say no great new music is being released -- man, you're just not paying attention. With the advent of tools like Rhapsody and the Yahoo Music Engine, not to forget YouTube, more and more promising artists are getting their shot.

One such artist is Britain's Amy Winehouse. I've read about her for some time now, particularly about her issues with booze and her weight. On the outside, some might say she's 23 going on 47, but on the inside, she is a classic soul with unbelievable tone and artistry.

I listened to her latest CD "Back To Black," and while I knew many of the tunes, I finally heard "Tears Dry On Their Own," which uses the Motown classic "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" as its foundation. Let's just say that this might be the single greatest use of a "sample," if you will -- although it's not really, technically a sample -- of all time.

Watching this video, I'm reminded of videos from the 1960s of British soul artists singing on various English TV programs. On one hand, this is a great flashback to an era of wonderful music, and on the other, music fans should be wet at the notion of somebody as talented as Winehouse making records.

I can't encourage you to watch this video enough. She is a jewel.
