Neal Sugarman on Amy Winehouse: "best times were when we have been able to be casual". When Amy Winehouse recorded his billionaire selling black album and took on a tour of United States, he chose the soul group The Dap-Kings as his backing band.Saxophonist Neal Sugarman, who played songs such as rehabilitation and return to black, recalls that the singer was on the road and in the study and examines its "depressing" decline.
"I was in the Studio for sessions of back to black and a couple of things with Amy, and, then, in his first US tour." When I first met, he came to do some vocals and she had not broken out in the States.
"I took some of the trials." It was a great musician and really open. It was really to work with the band and never came out as a bull's head at all.
"Everything you wanted to do was all printing was the music and worldwide put their creative aspects in music."
"While we were with her, it was never as if we have this star." I think it could have been one of the things that you tormented - liked being with people one by one, especially with the musicians.
"I think she used to how to get to New York City in its early days because it would make us go all out to dinner together and it was not recognized the same way as in the United Kingdom."
"It seemed as if the best times were when we have been able to be casual and just get to the music."
Sugarman says the last time he saw Winehouse, was "not a pretty sight""The tour was right when he went back to black". One of the things that used to do was play really good mixes before we go on stage. Always could be listening to The Supremes or some Doo-Wop and girl group things. It was not as if she had her own dressing - we were all together preparing for the sample.
"I feel really fortunate to be part of what was obviously a great record that played a lot of people." It is a true record crossover, which is rare in these times. What great art is playing a lot of people and that is what made your registration.
"When we were doing these shows, there were black people, white people, gay people, straight people." He was really able to touch a nerve and was unyielding.
"The concerts we have had with it was fantastic and it could have been a concert we had with her in San Francisco, where he got a little too loaded and management arrived and we were giving the signal to cut."
"We have been able to play great music with her." It is a creative real time. There are many singers who try to copy what she did and for me it is a real natural.
"To be honest, the tour was a strange moment because she separated from her boyfriend Blake for a short time."
"When she met him I was watching this other friend, and to be honest, when Blake returned - I think it was the second tour we did with her - was not as fun." Obviously she was starting to make drugs at the time.
"And then unfortunately the last time that the VI, making London a while, was not a pretty sight". It was really depressing. Cut something that she was not able to sing, which was a real resistance.
"Everyone loved watching the tabloids, but everyone expected that she would be making a comeback."
Neal Sugarman was talking to entertainment reporter news BBC Ian Youngs.
