Mark Ronson: Inspiration of Amy Winehouse is 'always around in the studio'

Producer and DJ Mark Ronson has worked with the cream of the music industry, including Paul McCartney, Adele, Lily Allen, Boy George and perhaps most notably Amy Winehouse.

鈥淲e always had this clich茅d thing about thinking of artists writing a song - that they have a lightning bolt that comes from the heavens and they start scribbling furiously and the song鈥檚 done.鈥

鈥淎my is only person I鈥檝e ever been around who was like that,鈥 said the three-time Grammy award winner.

鈥淚 played her the music to Back to Black, she went away and wrote the lyrics in an hour and a half.鈥

鈥淚 thought there鈥檚 no way she鈥檚 just written that!鈥
