MISS CELIE'S BLUES (Sister) & MAYBE GOD IS TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING, man those two tracks get me everytime...

Ai No Corrida and Betcha Wouldn't Hurt Me from "The Dude"

***"Razzamatazz"(1980)

***"Just Once"(1980)
***"One Hundred Ways"(1980)
***"I Heard That!"(1976)
***"Tomorrow (A Better You,A Better Me)"(1989)


Last year,Quincy released an excellent 4-CD box set,which I got for Christmas

1 of my favourite joints must B
"if I ever lose this heaven"(1974)
with leon ware & minnie ripperton.
especially the full lenght album version
with that long spacey intro before the song just
explodes with all those knockout harmonies
in the chorus.
peace/manki

With Q, I think in terms of albums: BODY HEAT and WALKING IN SPACE are my faves, but Youv'e Got It Bad Girl and [b]Gula Matari are excellent!

Furthermore, you have to consider his productions for other artists. Especially, Brothers Johnsson' Lookin' Out For # 1

STUFF LIKE THAT
is THE JAM!

If you can't shake your ass to this 1..
then something is wrong with you somewhere!


I also like RAZZMATAZZ & AI NO CARINA (sp) & JUST ONCE,

plus I like most of what Q did with the Brothers Johnson..

"If I Ever Lose This Heaven" featuring the late Minnie Ripperton, one of my childhood idols...

Talking of Quincy, I would rate Q's Jook Joint as one of my favourite albums of all time!

Just listen to Killer Joe - that is some smooth shit!

How about You Put A Move On My Heart - oh, man - Tamia does a fantastic vocal and the song's a Rod-Temperton-Can't-Miss Classic!

How about Stomp - funky as hell and guaranteed to get ya movin!

Slow Jams

Rock With You

And for those who started and favourably replied in the Genesis thread: check out Phil Collins on "Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me" - a different side of Phil Collins.

Anyone else LOVE this album?

"Secret Garden" w/ El DeBarge, Al B. Sure, Barry White and James Ingram

Sanford & Son Theme

Killer Joe

Just Once w/ James Ingram

Birdland w/ Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, James Moody, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, George Benson & Take 6.

All his work with Michael.

All his work with Sinatra.

I'm gonna mess you in the morning-With Luther & Patti Austin

The wedding song-With Sarah V. Take 6 and Gearoge Benson

Moody's Mood-With Farrah, Brain, Take 6 and Moody!

All his work with MJ


BTW Quincy along with Patrice are my musical adol when it comes 2 musical arranging.

Anything on the "Gula Matari" album... but my favorite one by Quiny is SMACKWATER JACK! "Hicky Burr" (feat. Bill Cosby) is some funny shit! I also dig "Mellow Madness".
