Los Angeles: British singer and songwriter Amy Winehouse dominated the Grammys on Sunday, winning five awards, including record of the year.
The 24-year-old artist was honoured for the autobiographical hit song Rehab, in which she recounts her reluctance to seek help for excessive drinking.
She accepted the award from a London venue where she had just performed both Rehab and You Know I'm No Good.
"I am so proud of this album," Winehouse said in a statement. "I put my heart and soul into it and it's wicked to be recognised in this way."
Winehouse, nominated for six awards, lost the final prize at Sunday night's ceremony in a shocker when Herbie Hancock took album of the year for River: The Joni Letters.
Her five awards were the most of the night, and included wins for best new artist, song of the year, pop vocal album and female pop vocal performance.
