MARK RONSON AMY WINEHOUSE PATCH

Now that feisty РІР‚СљNo no noРІР‚Сњ on Rehab took on a tragic irony. Distracted, slurry, always looking for her next drink, this was a singer at peak of her fame but not her powers.Р”Р„my became a drug addict. The band was good, the songs were great but Amy was not. Zoe and I went to see Amy sing at Koko in London. They and we laughed at AmyРІР‚в„ўs alcohol-fueled antics, believing them to be exemplary rockРІР‚в„ўnРІР‚в„ўroll behaviour. They and we lapped up AmyРІР‚в„ўs public outbursts and private heartaches. Her state, our rubberneck gawping, the surrounding paparazzi snapping every stumble.Р”Р„myРІР‚в„ўs fame and behaviour made her a target for the tabloids. While it was exciting to see Amy in real life, it was also depressing. Zoe and I saw a drunk Amy walking down a street in Camden. The classic soul sound infused by producer Mark Ronson and backing band, The Dap-Kings, was more accessible than her jazz style and provided a more direct accompaniment to her candid lyrics. ItРІР‚в„ўs an astonishing record: emotionally raw but slickly produced, angry and sad but funny and reckless.Р”Р„my became a superstar. Zoe and I listened to AmyРІР‚в„ўs second album Back to Black relentlessly. It gave me the personal connection to Amy that I need to really love a musician. I had РІР‚СљdiscoveredРІР‚Сњ a new side to Amy so now Zoe and I shared Amy. It set off a chain of events that would lead to her untimely death but also resulted in a very personal and brilliant record. It was a soul song called Rehab.Р”Р„my had become moderately famous after Frank.

One day I heard a new song Amy has recorded and played it for Zoe. Zoe loved Amy so I paid attention to Amy. Though I did like the acerbic and observant Fuck Me Pumps. Amy could sing, but to me her songs were nothing special. Zoe isnРІР‚в„ўt necessarily a fan of jazz singers, but she liked Amy a lot. But Zoe cried when Amy died.Р”Р„my was a jazz singer.

If anyone can talk Winehouse round it is probably Ronson. But in July the singer joined Ronson's band on stage at a London club. Ronson and Winehouse reportedly rowed after her well-documented drug use scotched a collaboration on the theme song to the James Bond film Quantum of Solace.

The consolation for those hoping Ronson will helm Winehouse's long-delayed follow-up to 2006's Back to Black is that as fast as she falls out with people she tends to patch things up. After giving Back to Black its much-praised Motown-styled backing Ronson used Winehouse to sing Valerie, the biggest hit on Version, his own successful 2007 album, which gave similar retro reworkings to modern pop covers. The pair's collaboration had been mutually fruitful. Winehouse's record company confirmed tonight that it is genuine. About four hours later she sent the Twitter missive on amyjademermaid, a semi-official personal message stream running for a year with 40,000 followers. This might not sound too incendiary but Winehouse saw things differently. It's really different, artist to artist.' Relations with Mark Ronson, the DJ-turned musician who co-produced Winehouses's biggest album, Back to Black, soured late on Friday when BBC2 broadcast his brief interview with Jools Holland on the latter's eponymous music show.Р”Р„sked to define exactly what a music producer did, Ronson gave an example: 'Working with someone like Amy Winehouse, she would come to me with just a song on an acoustic guitar and then you'd kind of dream up the rhythm arrangements and the track around it, all sorts of things.

During a still relatively brief career she has had differences with everyone from photographers to her own fans, even a husband. The author was Amy Winehouse, the 27-year-old singer with an illustrious history of falling out with people.
