The singer and producer, who recently worked with Winehouse on a song for a Quincy Jones tribute soundtrack, said that he has no idea what her upcoming LP sounds like.
"She came up on stage with my band at London's 100 Club last week and we did 'Valerie'," he told Q Magazine. "She's a friend. But I don't know anything about her next album, to be honest."
Ronson, whose stepfather is Mick Jones from '70s band Foreigner, said that he would struggle to pull off a song similar to the group's famous power ballads.
He confessed: "Oh man. I mean, 'I Want To Know What Love Is'? 'Waiting For A Girl Like You'? I wouldn't really know how to do it any other way. They don't make them like that anymore.
"Something 25 years old and up always sounds better to me. I call that Lenny Kravitz Disease - but older stuff is a little better."
Mark Ronson & The Business Intl's album Record Collection is out on September 27.
