Amy Winehouse's Grammy-winning sophomore album, "Back to Black," upended the music world when it was released in 2006. The record was produced at lightning pace in New York and Miami with producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, who recounted the experience in the documentary: "Amy Winehouse — Back to Black." "It was probably the quickest I've worked on any record," Ronson said (per USA Today).
Winehouse came to her New York sessions prepared with music, but also whipped up the songs "Rehab" and title track "Back to Black" on the fly. "That first day, she wrote 'Back to Black,' all the lyrics and the melody, in two or three hours," Ronson said, noting that it took about four days to record five songs. Remi spent 10 days with Winehouse for the rest of the album, reported Miami New Times.
Her producers have fond memories of working with the artist, but one particular story stood out. In the middle of recording "Me and Mr. Jones," Winehouse snuck off to make tea. "When we're listening back to the vocals, and halfway through the song, the tea kettle starts," Remi said. "It's there, on the record, and you can't actually hear it, but it's this high frequency."
