After winning the best British Single Award for Uptown Funk, Mark Ronson has paid tribute to both the genre that was inspired by as well as his wife.
Genuinely delighted to be back on stage Ronson accepted his award from Lisa Snowden and Lionel Ritchie.
"I want to thank my amazing wife Josephine who's sitting over there, and my manager Brandon and Lionel Richie and the Commodores and Earth,Wind and Fire, and the people who invented this genre of funk and James Brown, who made it possible for us to make this song so thank you so much, this is incredible and I don't even know what to say, you guys are the best, thank you."
