Throwback Thursday: Amy Winehouse – “Me & Mr. Jones” (Live)
Amy Winehouse would’ve been 40 years old today. Not only does she share a birthday with Nas, she was a friend and a fan, and one of her most notable songs is a one about missing a Nas concert.
“Me & Mr. Jones” was inspired by the singer missing a Nas concert that took place in March 2005 in Brixton. At the time, she was working on what would become her breakthrough and final album, Back to Black. The song, written by Amy and produced by Salaam Remi, was originally titled “Fuckery.” It never became a single, but it is one of Amy’s best-known songs and was one of her favorite to perform live.
Long live Amy!
