Mark Ronson has revealed that he and Amy Winehouse have recorded a cover of Lesley Gore's 1963 song 'It's My Party'.

The pair started working on the song in 2008, with the track set to appear on a forthcoming tribute album to legendary producer Quincy Jones. It was Jones' first hit single as a producer, and a version by Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin topped the UK charts in 1981.

A release date for the album is yet to be set.

Ronson told BBC Newsbeat that Winehouse "sounds brilliant on it".

He added: "It's quite funny to come off of my album where the whole tag line, or thing we told ourselves, was no covers, no horns and then to do a very Amy-sounding record like that."

Usher and Mariah Carey are rumoured to be appearing on the Jones tribute album too.

Ronson's next solo album 'Record Collection' will be released as Mark Ronson And The Business INTL. in September.
