What English musician who has won a Brit Award for Best British Male Solo Artist helped to create a cover version of Valerie which outsold the original release?
Valerie (The Zutons song) "Valerie" is a song written by English indie rock band The Zutons from their second studio album "Tired of Hanging Around" (2006). Released as the album's second single on 19 June 2006 in the United Kingdom, along with their previous single "Why Won't You Give Me Your Love?", it gave The Zutons their joint-biggest single to date as well as their second UK top 10 single, climbing from number 41 (through download sales alone the day before physical release) to its peak at number 9 in the UK Singles Chart. A 2007 cover version by Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse was more successful than the original, peaking at number 2 on the UK chart and number 1 in the Netherlands.
