Produced by Winehouse's go-to collaborator Mark Ronson [4], "It's My Party" is the U.K. singer/songwriter's first studio recording since her 2006 breakthrough album "Back to Black," which won five Grammy awards in 2008.
The original "It's My Party," which was produced by Jones, spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963.
"She was amazing," Jones tells Billboard.com of Winehouse. "Sweet as she could be...we bonded."
"Q: Soul Bossa Nostra," out next Tuesday (Nov. 9), also features appearances by Mary J. Blige [5], Usher [6], Jennifer Hudson [7], Wyclef Jean [8] and Ludacris [9], among others.
