And I remember that about three years before that, her first record had come out. And I just remember really liking this one song off it called “In My Bed” and being a little bit enamored. This, you know, this young kind of Jewish girl from North London, you know, I have the same thing – from a Jewish family from North London – with this incredible voice.

And sometimes, I’d be allowed to be hanging out in the studio, which I just loved kind of, like, being in the room with these big recording desks, with all these, like, buttons and knobs and watching the guys use them.

Basically, there’s a good friend of mine who works at EMI Publishing, a publishing company. He had asked me – he was like, you know, do you know this girl, Amy Winehouse? She’s in New York for a day. She’s kind of meeting people to maybe work with on her second album.

D’Angelo could sing the phonebook and it would sound good.

Sound

Dave Guy, the trumpet player, is an incredible musician. He came into the studio one day, and they had just cut a cover of “Sign, Seal, Deliver” for something with Sharon Jones, and I just was blown away by how they got that sonic. I mean, it was just so much the real deal.

Cutting

Years

I was kind of, like, out and playing in clubs after three of four months, because I was pushy with promoters. But I would just listen to the radio – Stretch Armstrong and Red Alert – and then I would go hang out with Mayhem, who did the WNYU hip-hop show.

I don’t have a crazy rider clause saying I have to stay at fancy hotels. I don’t have a problem with staying at a Marriott. But I will admit that I’ve gotten just basic, regular service there.

Problem

I mean, my wife is always like – I don’t write lyrics. So I couldn’t, like, really technically write a song for anyone. I could write a very nice instrumental. So she always sort of gives me a hard time because it’s just such a ridiculously impossible standard to live up to, that your step-dad wrote that song for your mom.
