Version by Mark Ronson
Version is an album by Mark Ronson, released in 2007. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 22 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Valerie”, on 16 lists with a best position of #20.
Version, Mark Ronson's second album, came out in April 2007 on his own Allido label and Columbia, and it's an album of covers. Fresh from producing for Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen, the British producer and DJ dressed other people's songs in a retro sound he likened to Motown and Stax, all funky strut and soul-revue swagger.
The two big singles both reached number two in the UK: "Stop Me", sung by Daniel Merriweather, and "Valerie", with Winehouse on vocals, the one that has lasted on the countdowns. Launching it cost more than £870,000, the album also reached number two, and Ronson picked up the Brit Award for British Male Solo Artist.
