Listen to the original demo of Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black, never heard before now, and see how @markronson developed it from a few chords and a drum workaround, to recording with The Dap-Kings to get that iconic sixties sound.
This clip is taken from @markronson's BBC Maestro online course, Music Production.

Just imagine this : you play with a few plugins that a woman comes along and says “I want the whole album to sound like this” and it becomes one of the best albums of music history.

I love how Mark admits he had very little idea about what he was doing on some areas (on familiarity with the genre, placing mics,playing drums), so he relied on the things he did know: playing keyboard, slicing samples and understanding his plugins. It's a great lesson on focussing on our strenghts, and find workarounds... no perfection, just your best effort and confidence to present it to other people who can add to it.

I don't know why but I'm emotional listening to Amy's raw vocals here. It's like being allowed to enter a secret chamber of genius. I feel so sad because despite all her struggles, she really was such an unbelievable talent and for me, that was what really defined her. I hope you're truly resting in peace now, Amy. And thanks Mark and BBC for sharing this with us. ❤

The way Amy Winehouse could sing just one note, one word while breathing endless life and meaning into it, makes me understand that she lived her life in another pace, hard to grasp for anyone, most probably also for herself. Accompanied by an awesome open minded and talented producer and his sensitivity to get the best out of her. THX Mark and THX Amy and to all that helped to let this star shine on us.

Never before realized just how much this song is derivative of The Shangri-Las, especially Remember Walkin’ in the Sand. (It just reverses the order of the two sub-dominant chords (Gm and Bb) and slightly tweaks the phrasing of the melody.) Both great artists and songs though. Did a great job of making it sound fresh. Glad she brought it back, spurred a whole revival in the 60s soul sounds.

Absolutely brilliant. 👍👍👍 In the era of the thousands of YT tutorials, courses, academies and reviews that in fact are just gear or plugin or store commercials pushing sales, and in the era of total inflation & misuse of the word "producer", this is a breath of fresh air. And a touching slice of history and talent(s). Thanks for this.

@PrantoKoX
@PrantoKoX Год назад
@@kehindea I think you misunderstood the main focus of my comment (which was of total praise and satisfaction for this video!) and also misunderstood the side point about the total misuse of the word "producer" today. Nothing against the most varied, diverse and colourful or contemporary ways of producing, please do not make assumptions. But being capable to make some gear produce (in the sense of make) some sounds in one's bedroom and immediately calling oneself a "producer" is just self-glorification & grandstanding via fancy titles, as it's light years from being a true, actual and working music producer in the true & actual sense of the word, i.e. having the talent & knowledge to pick or discover songs and the best or most suitable sounds, arrangements and instruments for them, then making them come to life through the preproduction, recording and lastly mixing & mastering stage, and most importantly being able to put human beings, the songwriters & the performers, at ease and inspire them confidence, as to create, record and hopefully preserve for all to hear and for posterity to enjoy the best possible performances of their songs or parts. Which is what Mark Ronson stresses several times here, and what is so beautifully apparent from his words, attitude and records. Sorry if I was unclear... or if you recognized yourself in this other class of "producers" and therefore felt offended. Reality sometimes hurts, sugar coating is ultimately useless, and reading comments or listening to what is said in videos carefully sometimes can make a difference. Peace & best of luck.

Would very much recommend this entire course, Mark is such a great, humble guy and a very solid teacher too.

This is the first interview I hear of Mark. He seems an interesting, genuine guy. My mind started drifting towards a memory of jamming few chords and that came to life, a song and I loved the feeling of it. I played my nylon string on balcony and the echo there was beautiful. I felt like I was surfing on the wave of a feeling and got goosebumps. It lasted a few minutes and then it was gone. One of those moments when you compose a beautiful piece, but you never hear it again.

In case Mark Ronson reads this, here goes: In my opinion, the song HURT is THE best song ever written and recorded in ANY genre. Thank you for your contributions to this beautiful song. It said everything I would have liked to tell my parents. I blamed them for my shortcomings instead of taking responsibility for them. They made sure I had everything I needed and a whole lot of what I wanted. I was a spoiled brat and took them for granted and never got the chance to tell them how sorry I was. So, I play the song to their spirits. Thanks again for this most beautiful song.

@Day yes, that's right. Linda Perry's dad left her and her mom when Linda was young. She resented him for that. One night at her concert with 4 non blondes, her dad walked up to her and said he was proud of her. She snubbed him and walked off. He died soon after that and she never got a chance to forgive him so that's the origins of the song Hurt. Yes, the song Beautiful is also one of the best songs she wrote.
