Charting higher than Amy Winehouse (he produced her critically acclaimed album 'Back to Black'), Ronson's old school production feel combined with his savvy awareness of contemporary culture has found him a niche in the market.

Winning three Grammys himself, Ronson is responsible for a resurgence of the retro jazz/soul vocal genre once popularised by Billie Holiday and Dusty Springfield, influencing Duffy, and, of course, Amy Winehouse.
