3. The late Amy Winehouse's signature song "Rehab" referenced which two singers? (you know it, it's the song that starts out: "They tried to make me go to rehab,
I said, "no, no, no")
From Quiz The Singer Not The Song (part 5)
Answer:
Ray Charles and Donny Hathaway
"He's tried to make me go to rehab
I won't go, go, go
I'd rather be at home with Ray
I ain't got seventy days
'Cause there's nothing, there's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway"
I gave you a wee bit of help in that Don Cornelius, although a bigwig in the music industry, was not a singer. Rather, he was was the television show host and producer who created the dance and music show "Soul Train."
Ray Charles and Donny Hathaway were two of Amy's musical inspirations in soul music. The song won Song Of The Year, Female Pop Vocal Performance and Record Of The Year at the 2008 Grammy awards. Winehouse also won for Best New Artist, and the song's producer Mick Ronson won for producer of the year.
