Amy met Mark for 5 days. On the first day, she played some 60s records and he was like ok.. said come back tomorrow, and he had produced the demo for Back to Black. She immediately called her manager and extended it to ten days. In those ten they recorded almost all of the album, completing one of if not the greatest song of her career in under 2 hours. Salaam Remi produced the other half.
Both producers worked well because both had experience with Rap/R&B/Soul, and that's what Amy wanted incorporated with the 60s pop/rock/blues girl band sound, which Mark also had some experience with given he produced with Lily Allen (Alright, Still) and Christina (Back to Basics). We've all heard the more recent electro-funk Uptown Funk (written by numerous people) so we know what he's capable of, production wise.
After Amy, Wale was signed with Mark and then he asked to collaborate with Gaga and so Ronson introduced them, resulting in Chillin. So he's always had interest in her, just perhaps not the pop-dance direction of her previous records.
Gaga is as good as a songwriter as Amy was, and she's learnt to play the guitar, no? Mark can also..
Coming for that 95+ on Metacritics from 40+ medias and all the Grammys.
