In early sequences, Winehouse's likeability, humility, and infectious energy hit you like a freight train. We first see her as a teenager, channelling Marilyn Monroe when singing "Happy Birthday." Soon after she sings "Moon River," showing off her maturity as well as her playfulness. Recalling the first time that she performed for him before landing a record deal, Island Records' Nick Gatfield says, "She walked in and she was a force of nature… She was an old soul in a very young body. We made the deal very quickly." The best scene though, is her comedy Spanish accent in clips from a home-movie taken at a holiday villa in Majorca.WATCH: 'A Teenage Amy Winehouse Sing Happy Birthday to Her Friend' on Noisey
