Although neither Amy Winehouse or Duffy could be considered soul, we do allow ourselves to stray off topic once in a while so I wanted to bring this subject up. Today I came across the Duffy CD in my collection that contained "Mercy," and for the first time, the similarities between her and Amy occurred to me.
Both British of course and the driving beats of their signature hits were quite similar. Yet Duffy only had the one hit in the US whereas Amy appeared poised to be a big time star if her demons had not gotten in the way.
Any thoughts on these two and why Duffy never made more of an impact in America?
