Her vocals were quick. She\'d give a couple takes that were effortless and honest, and we\'d the Instrumental Zoo personnel have it. People think of studio sessions as all-nighters, but we\'d get there at 10 a.m.
To set up; she\'d come at noon. By 8 or 9 at night, we were done and we\'d be back up in the morning getting it done in the daylight.\' —Frank Socorro, sound engineer for Back to BlackMost of the songs on Back to Black were solely written by Winehouse, as her primary focus of the album\'s sound shifted more towards the style of the girl groups from the 1950s and 1960s.

So she played me some of those records. I told her that I had nothing to play her right now. But if she lets me work on something overnight , she could come back tomorrow.

Her vocals were quick. She\'d give a couple takes that were effortless and honest, and we\'d the Instrumental Zoo personnel have it. People think of studio sessions as all-nighters, but we\'d get there at 10 a.m.
To set up; she\'d come at noon. By 8 or 9 at night, we were done and we\'d be back up in the morning getting it done in the daylight.\' —Frank Socorro, sound engineer for Back to BlackMost of the songs on Back to Black were solely written by Winehouse, as her primary focus of the album\'s sound shifted more towards the style of the girl groups from the 1950s and 1960s.

So she played me some of those records. I told her that I had nothing to play her right now. But if she lets me work on something overnight , she could come back tomorrow.
