Meanwhile, her collaborator and friend, Mark Ronson, recently praised the late singer, saying nobody’s talents would ever compare to hers.
He said: “No one’s ever going to compare to Amy because of the talent she had and the unique bond we had, that rapport, that energy in the studio.

It was just … a thing.”
