British rock band The Zutons have reflected on the enduring success of their hit song Valerie, crediting the late Amy Winehouse for transforming it into a global sensation. Originally released in 2006, the track became a defining anthem after Winehouse and producer Mark Ronson reimagined it in 2007, giving it a soulful edge that captured worldwide attention.
Speaking about the song’s legacy, The Zutons acknowledged that their version had its own charm, but Amy’s rendition took it to another level. Frontman Dave McCabe, who penned the song, expressed his admiration for how Winehouse infused it with raw emotion, making it feel deeply personal despite not being the original writer. Her powerful vocals and Ronson’s production brought a fresh energy, ensuring Valerie remained a timeless classic.
Over the years, Valerie has remained a fan favorite, regularly performed at live shows and streamed by millions. The Zutons have embraced its success, recognizing that Winehouse’s interpretation played a significant role in keeping the song relevant across generations.
Winehouse, who tragically passed away in 2011, left behind a musical legacy that continues to influence artists today. Her version of Valerie is often regarded as one of her most iconic performances, further cementing her place in music history.
