The '''Long-tailed Cuckoo''' ('''''Eudynamys taitensis'''''), also known as the '''Long-tailed Koel''' or the '''Koekoeā''' in [[Māori]], is a species of [[cuckoo]] in the [[Cuculidae]] family. The species breeds in [[New Zealand]], and migrates to the islands of the western Pacific in the winter.

The Long-tailed Cuckoo is a [[brood parasite]], laying its eggs in the nests of [[Yellowhead (bird)|Yellowheads]], [[Whitehead (bird)|Whiteheads]] and [[Brown Creeper (New Zealand)|Brown Creepers]]. The eggs hatch before those of the host do so and the young chicks eject the eggs of the host. Long-tail Cuckoo chicks are able to mimic the calls of their host's chicks.
At the [[50th Grammy Awards|50th Annual Grammy Awards]] ceremony, ''Back to Black'' won five awards, tying the record (with [[Lauryn Hill]], [[Norah Jones]], [[Alicia Keys]], and [[Beyoncé]]) for the most awards won by a female artist in a single ceremony. The album won [[Best Pop Vocal Album]], and [[Best Female Pop Vocal Performance]], [[Song of the Year]] and [[Record of the Year]] for "Rehab"; Winehouse also won [[Best New Artist]].

==Background==
The track "[[Tears Dry on Their Own]]" features the backing music from [[Marvin Gaye]] and [[Tammi Terrell]]'s 1967 smash hit, "[[Ain't No Mountain High Enough]]".<ref>{{ cite web | url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/12/AR2007031201690.html | title=That Winehouse Buzz?

On Winehouse's song "[[Rehab (Amy Winehouse song)|Rehab]]", she mentions "Ray" and "Mr. Hathaway", in reference to [[Ray Charles]] and [[Donny Hathaway]]. However, in her recent performances, she replaces "Ray" with "Blake", referring to her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who is currently in prison awaiting trial, for charges relating to [[Grievous bodily harm]].<ref>[http://online.wsj.com/article/SB117831186746492604.html?mod=hps_us_inside_today A New British Invasion?] ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' [[May 9]] [[2007]].

===Critical===
''Back to Black'' was a critical darling and drew numerous comparisons to [[Motown Sound|Motown-era]] R&B.<ref name=RS>Hoard, Christian ([[2007-02-22]]), "Back to Black". ''Rolling Stone'' (1020):76</ref><ref name=NS>Rogers, Jude [[2006-12-11]], "Year of the woman". ''New Statesman''.

'''119''' (11):51</ref> ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' said the album finds Winehouse "a nervy, witty songstress whom indie rockers, pop fans and hip-hoppers can dig."<ref name=RS/> ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'' magazine called ''Back to Black'' "a disc that gets better with every listen."<ref>Chang, Joyce ([[2007-03-01]]), "BACK TO BLACK". ''People''. ''volume and issue unknown'':64</ref> The ''[[New Statesman]]'' remarked that the album was better than her last, calling it "an astonishing soul record, soaking up the sounds of Motown and 1960s girl groups and spitting them back with panache, glamour and a contemporary twist."<ref name=NS/> Billboard said ''Back to Black'' was a "brutal breakup album that can sit with the best of them, set to the sounds of music's finest early rock moments."<ref name=BB/>

The song "Rehab" won the [[Ivor Novello Awards|Ivor Novello Award]] for "Best Contemporary Song" on [[24 May]] [[2007]].<ref>[http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=269477 Winehouse wins best contemporary song] ninemsn [[2007-05-27]]. Accessed [[2007-05-27]]</ref> ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine named "Rehab" one of The 10 Best Songs of 2007, ranking it at #1. Writer Josh Tyrangiel praised Winehouse for her confidence, opining, “What she is is mouthy, funny, sultry, and quite possibly crazy” and, "It's impossible not to be seduced by her originality. Combine it with production by Mark Ronson that references four decades worth of soul music without once ripping it off, and you've got the best song of 2007."<ref>Tyrangiel, Josh; "The Best Top 10 Lists of the Year"; "The 10 Best Songs"; ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine; [[December 24]], [[2007]]; Page 39.</ref><ref>[http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/top10/article/0,30583,1686204_1686244_1690616,00.html ''Time'' magazine's Top 10 Songs of 2007 at time.com]</ref>

The album has been nominated for [[50th Annual Grammy Awards]] in the categories "[[Grammy Award for Album of the Year|Album of the Year]]" and "[[Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album|Best Pop Vocal Album]]", and has helped Ronson win for "[[Grammy Award for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical|Producer of the Year, Non-Classical]]".<ref>([[6 December]] [[2007]]).

He adds, "In the end, the singer's real-life heartache over her incarcerated spouse proves what's obvious from the grooves: When this lady sings about love, she means every word."

This article is about New Zealand species. For the African long-tailed cuckoos, see Cercococcyx.

The Long-tailed Cuckoo (Eudynamys taitensis), also known as the Long-tailed Koel or the Koekoeā in Māori, is a species of cuckoo in the Cuculidae family. The species breeds in New Zealand, and migrates to the islands of the western Pacific in the winter.

The Long-tailed Cuckoo is a brood parasite, laying its eggs in the nests of Yellowheads, Whiteheads and Brown Creepers. The eggs hatch before those of the host do so and the young chicks eject the eggs of the host. Long-tail Cuckoo chicks are able to mimic the calls of their host's chicks.
