Ronson previously tracked Bobby Hebb's "Sunny" twice

"Uptown Funk"
crams an entire wedding reception into four-and-a-half minutes, and the
album containing the song looks to be as much fun as the single. Mark
Ronson thinks so: "It's my best record, for sure,"
he tells Rolling Stone.
As usual, the producer has recruited a star-studded cast of singers and
side-hands. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon wrote the
lyrics; Mystikal, Bruno Mars and Tame Impala's Kevin Park contribute
vocals; and Stevie Wonder plays a little harmonica. "It's probably the
peak musical highlight of my life," Ronson says of that last
collaboration
. "I'm fine if I never top it."
