I think Amy singing your song is the highest honor a songwriter could have. She had impeccable taste and the extraordinary talent to back it up. She knew a great groove to vamp on when she heard one. Valerie was an obvious choice for her.

The Zutons are a brilliant band and they deserve every bit of success that they get. If Winehouse had the good sense to cover their tune then so be it.

Sometimes a song is more than just a catchy tune to sell, and when you set it free it becomes an everlasting standard. I would not have known who the Zutons were if it weren't for Amy, and I think many others would say the same thing. I think they are basically admitting that in this interview, and that is why they are gracious enough to appreciate other artists like Amy for covering their song and bringing popularity back to them. They'd rather share the song and be known than own it and be unknown.

+radrickdavis Then you are just an ignorant person. If you are British and were around in the early 2000's you heard this version. If you aren't fair enough, but surely any listener of music who is worth their salt actually bothers to look up the origin of songs Especially ones that were clearly written by a man for a woman, and who's version were created by Mark Ronson, who is notorious for stealing other artists music and trying to pass it off as his own. That's right, it's a Mark Ronson version, Amy just did the vocals. Sure you could say it is a cover, but he doesn't go out of his way to let listeners know

@@callumcowan7047 It was completely Amy who wanted to do the song, not Mark. They did a slower version the way Amy envisioned it. Mark wanted to do an upbeat version, which Amy agreed to and did. That version ended up being released. Please get your facts straight, bub.

@mirfangu Жыл бұрын

@@confucius12012 yeah amy always said about the zuttons before her performed of this song on stages.

@hegemonycricket2182 2 ай бұрын

Mark wanted her to adjust the lyrics for her version, but she was adamant about preserving the original lyrics. I think that's cool. The stripped down version on her album is excellent, but of course i love the original the most.

The song 'Valerie' was a OK song to begin with, not a genius song. AN OK song. Fair enough that they let just about every Winehouse & his dog cover it. ZUtons would get good royalty checks for that, which they would love, (dont let them fool you). It pisses me off that the song has been so destroyed by covering artists. Now as a result, I dont think this band will ever do anything better, or be remembered for anything better. Because they've put all there eggs in the 1 basket.
