Vibe Magazine wasted no time in their decision to place Amy Winehouse on the cover of their 16th Annual “Juice” issue following the soulful songstresses death. It’s expected that in the upcoming issue they will dive more in depth on the life, career, & various people in Amy Winehouse’s life. One of those people was producer Salaam Remi who had this to say in the following excerpt:

“I’m in London now. I’m out here because [Amy and I] were supposed to go to a wedding today. And before I could get to her yesterday she passed. We were going to the wedding of Nick Symansky, who is the person who really found her. He found her when he was a scout at 19. And he was the manager before they got the Universal deal.

They went ahead with the wedding. All I could do was sit there and imagine how many jokes she would have been cracking with me. We were in the middle of working on the album. She finished writing the record. We just hadn’t recorded.

For the last couple of weeks we were video chatting regularly. I was just talking to Nas. Both her and Nas were born on September 14, so we were going to Barbados with all of them for her birthday. She really doesn’t look forward to her birthday, you know what I’m saying?”
