Burlesque dancer Dita von Teese recalled, "Devastated. I spent extraordinary times with Amy. She sang for me once for hours, it was the most beautiful and touching thing. A huge loss."
"She definitely brought back a lot of soul to mainstream, and it's really unfortunate to see her go, but I think she'll live on in other artists who will follow [with] the same soul," Darren Criss, member of "Glee" which has used her song on the show, said.
