She did not feature on "Valerie", she sang the whole song. I don't give a toss about her private life. I love her music and I think her album is a classic. That's why I bought it.
FYI
"Frank" is a platinum selling album.
"Back to Black" went to number one in the UK Albums Chart numerous times and is multi platinum. It went to number one in the US also.
"Rehab" went top 10 and won many awards for "best single of 2007".
"Valerie" got to number two.
George Michael said of her "Amy is the best female vocalist I have ever heard in my entire career, as well as one of the best writers.
I couldn't even start to list the number of awards she has received.

She sung Valerie, that was about it. The name sold on the single is Mark Ronson ft Amy Winehouse- therefore she featured on it. He did everything else except write it, and it was stolen from The Zutons. She didn't even turn up to the video! So that doesn't count as her number 2, just one she happened to be a part of.
I'm not denying her success with her albums, but she has had practically no success in the singles chart, which is what a lot of people judge success on, especially as her singles have ranked at 2 (featuring), 7, 16, 18, 25, 46, 57, 60, 65 and 71. When Dannii Minogue has had more success than you in the singles chart then you need to start worrying! But as I say I'm not denying her album success or her awards.

thats soooo not true.the reason her label released singles is because they want people to buy the album instead of the single.obviously it worked.
her album sold 10 million copies....shes got nothing to worry about(career wise)
