Amy Winehouse's father Mitch helped to launch a new exhibition exploring the life, music and legacy of his daughter on Wednesday, a decade after her death aged 27.
The Design Museum's Amy: Beyond the Stage tracks the story of her early career through her recordings and teenage notebooks to give an insight into her creativity.
It also pays tribute to her eclectic mix of influences, from Dinah Washington to DJ and record mogul Mark Ronson, 1960s pop, Motown and jazz.

The exhibition's assistant curator Maria McLintock said Winehouse, who died of alcohol poisoning in July 2011, had left a rich and varied legacy in music and fashion.
'What we've tried to do is tell her story as a creative person, as an incredible musician, as a fashion icon, but also include rare objects that maybe her fans have heard of but they haven't seen before,' she said.
Exhibits include hand-written lyrics from unreleased demos and the first guitar she bought as a teenager.

Amy, a distinctive figure with her beehive hairdo, multiple tattoos and smoky voice, shot to international fame with the 2006 album Back to Black.
The album - a 2007 best-seller in the UK - included the track Rehab, charting her battle with addiction.
McLintock said that as well as portraying Winehouse as a 'very refined musician', the decade since her death was also a way to assess her significance and influence.
