Amy Winehouse joins ’27 Club’ (video)

   July 25, 2011

On my radio show “IN Your Head Radio,” I made “Rehab” the theme song of former Superintendent of Schools Jim Paul after he was arrested in 2008 for a DUI in Tampa. I’ve followed the troubled singer ever since.

The Grammy-winning retro-singer died this past weekend joining a tragically long list of iconic, often tortured artists who died at 27, including Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. Together, they are known as the “27 Club.” Read their stories.
