Singer Amy Winehouse was shocked and barely able to articulate her thanks when she won the 2008 Grammy for Record of the Year for "Rehab."
Amy was waylaid in London. Intitially, the United States didn't want to issue her a work visa due to her drug problems and when they decided to give it to her, it was too late for her to board a plane and get to the Grammies in time.
She performed two songs- "I'm No Good" and "Rehab" live via satellite from recording studios in London with a small appreciative crowd.
Shortly after her set, Amy was announced as the Grammy recipient for Record of the Year.
Stunned, she hugged her exuberant band members, her proud dad and then emotionally embraced her mom, giving her thank you speech with her mother by her side.
