Mark Ronson paid a tribute to Amy Winehouse last night during his show at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich.
During the concert, which marked the DJ and producer's first gig since Amy's death, Ronson recognized his "musical soulmate" by opening and ending the show with her hit song, "Valerie." Dave McCabe of the Zutons, who originally wrote the song, also joined Ronson on stage.
"There is nothing that I can say but I went to her funeral yesterday and there was a Rabbi who spoke and he said somebody’s life is measured in deeds and not years, and that was the best thing I heard yesterday," Ronson said.
Dressed in black, the 32-year-old was accompanied by Amy's band and backup dancers.
‘I'm not getting emotional or morbid but it's nice to share this moment with people who appreciate good music. Amy Winehouse was a genius and has made more brilliant music than I'll ever make," he said.

Throughout the show, Ronson also performed a cover of Rehab and Back to Black, alongside the Rumble Strips' Charlie Waller.
Ronson, who attended the singer's funeral on Wednesday, produced Amy's second studio album, Back to Black. The 2006 album earned Amy six Grammy nominations and five wins.
He was scheduled to have a DJ set at the Cartier International Polo event on Sunday, but cancelled the event after news of his friend's death.
