“Back to Black” цомгийн 20 жилийн ойн хүрээнд продюсер Марк Ронсон хамтран ажиллаж байсан найз Эми Уайнхаусын авьяас билэг, зан чанарыг онцлон дурсав.
Грэммийн шагналт продюсер Марк Ронсон “Back to Black” цомгийн 20 жилийн ойд зориулан Лондоны “Roundhouse” танхимд болсон хүндэтгэлийн тоглолтод оролцлоо. 2006 онд худалдаанд гарсан уг цомог нь 20 сая гаруй хувь борлогдож, бүх цаг үеийн хамгийн их борлуулалттай бүтээлүүдийн нэг болсон юм. Ронсон тус цомгийн “Rehab”, “You Know I’m No Good” зэрэг алдартай дуунууд дээр Эми Уайнхаустай хамтран ажиллаж байсан бөгөөд түүнийг өөрийн үеийнхний хамгийн шилдэг дуу зохиогчдын нэг хэмээн тодорхойлов.
BBC Radio 2-ын нэвтрүүлэгт оролцох үеэрээ тэрээр Эмиг хөгжилтэй, дур булаам, өөрийн гэсэн өвөрмөц ертөнцтэй нэгэн байсан тухай дурссан юм. Ронсоны хувьд Эми Уайнхаусын зовлон шаналал, амьдралын хүнд хэцүү туулсан замаас бүтээгдсэн энэхүү хөгжимд оролцсон нь өнөөг хүртэл гүн гүнзгий сэтгэгдэл төрүүлдэг байна. Тэрээр Эмиг үгүйлж буйгаа илэрхийлээд, өөрийн бүтээсэн дуунуудаас хүмүүст хамгийн их хүрч, үнэ цэнтэй нь энэхүү цомог гэдгийг онцоллоо.
Эми Уайнхаусын амьдралыг “Amy” баримтат кино болон 2024 онд дэлгэцэнд гарсан “Back to Black” намтарчилсан киногоор дамжуулан олон нийтэд хүргэсэн. Ронсон эдгээр бүтээлийг үзэх нь хүндрэлтэй ч, өөрийн дотны найз, авьяаслаг уран бүтээлчийн дүр төрхийг дахин нэг харж, түүний уран бүтээлч байдлыг илүү өргөн өнцгөөс үнэлэх боломж олгосон гэж дүгнэжээ.

Mark Ronson has paid tribute to the late Amy Winehouse ahead of the 20th anniversary of the Back To Black album, describing her as “so funny, so charming, so charismatic” and “maybe the greatest lyricist of her generation”.
The Grammy-winning producer, 51, collaborated with Winehouse on numerous songs from her celebrated 2006 record, including Rehab, You Know I’m No Good and the title track.
Winehouse, who died aged 27 in July 2011, also featured on Ronson’s 2007 cover of Valerie.
Ronson recently headlined a tribute concert at London’s Roundhouse alongside producer Salaam Remi and the Amy Winehouse Band, marking 20 years since the album’s release on October 27 2006.

Reflecting on his “inspiring” friend and collaborator during Jo Whiley’s BBC Radio 2 show on Monday, Ronson said: “It’s a wonderful thing to be part of, to see everyone on stage celebrating her, her life and her music.
“Amy just was so inspiring – especially to UK artists. This whole thing is very emotional.”
Discussing his involvement in Back To Black, he said: “I have mixed feelings because all that music was built on her pain and what life she had to go through.
“Obviously, she had to carry that through to the end.
“I was there to make sure the arrangements were good. I didn’t have to endure that trauma and pain and those things – to have essentially the same success from the record.

“I always have a little bit of… It’s not guilt. It’s just something that I think about.”
“I wish she was here,” Ronson added.
Back To Black sold more than 20 million copies and became one of the best-selling records of all time.

Reflecting on its legacy, Ronson said: “I know that people love this record, and the fact that I had something to do with it is important to people.
“I’m very grateful to be associated with it.
“I know of everything that I’ve ever made, this is the thing that probably means the most to people.”

Recalling meeting Winehouse for the first time, the musician said: “She was just so funny, so charming, so charismatic.
“Even though I was a couple years older, she felt like somebody I could have known my whole life.
“There was an instant just kinship there.”
Ronson also reflected on his excitement at working with Winehouse before either had achieved the commercial success that would follow the album.
“I was so excited by her talent and wrapped up in what we were doing,” he said.
“I had never really had a hit record. I’d been involved with some records that everyone was like, ‘This is going to be a hit’ – but then that didn’t happen.
“So I think I’d given up thinking I was ever going to have commercial success in music.
“We were just making what was exciting to us. It just felt so exciting.”
Winehouse’s life was explored in the 2015 documentary Amy, which chronicled her career and death, and the 2024 biopic Back To Black, starring Marisa Abela.
Discussing the documentary, Ronson said: “I remember (watching it and) thinking ‘Oh my God, this woman maybe was the greatest lyricist of her generation’.
“I know that it is not favourable to some people.
“But I felt, at least for that first half with all that footage, like I was spending time with a friend again. I really loved that.
“I think it’s unflinching, and I think it’s really hard to watch.
“But I think it made me appreciate parts of Amy as an artist that I hadn’t even thought about.”
