Usher and Mariah Carey are also set to appear on the new album

Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson are recording a song set to appear on a tribute album to legendary producer Quincy Jones.

The duo last worked together when they attempted to record the theme to the new James Bond film, 'Quantum Of Solace', only for Ronson to end the sessions due to Winehouse's alleged erratic behaviour.

Jack White and Alicia Keys have since recorded the film's theme.

Speaking about the Quincy Jones project, an unnamed source told the Daily Mirror: "Amy first met Quincy backstage at the Nelson Mandela gig in Hyde Park in June.

"He knew who she was and she was so thrilled to meet him. Her performance clearly impressed him - he was raving about her."

Other artists rumoured to appear on the album include Mariah Carey and Usher.
