Watch Mark Ronson play ‘Uptown Funk’ with Mary J. Blige, George Clinton and Grandmaster Flash

Mark Ronson pulled out all the stops for his Other Stage set at Glastonbury 2015 last night, saving the best until last with a star-studded rendition of ‘Uptown Funk’.

The producer was joined by Mark J. Blige, George Clinton and Grandmaster Flash for a one-off rendition of last year’s smash-hit single.

Prior to ‘Uptown Funk’, Ronson was joined by Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker for two songs, before playing with Andrew Wyatt and Boy George for a cover of ‘Do You Really Want To Hurt Me’. An emotionally poignant moment arrived just before ‘Uptown Funk’, when Ronson paid tribute to the late Amy Winehouse by asking the crowd to sing along to ‘Valerie’, saying “this is a celebration of her”.

If his version of ‘Uptown Funk’ sounds too good to be true, don’t believe us - just watch. Stream it here via the BBC.
