Spotlight on Quincy Jones Featuring Michael Jackson, Tamia & Barry White
Posted on June 24, 2008 10:00 AM
VH1Soul is one of my favorite channels -- not just because they play the videos that never seem to get any play elsewhere, but also because they air some of the best music documentaries ever made. Last night I stumbled on "Listen Up: The Lives of Quincy Jones" -- which I've seen before but it's been quite awhile (the doc was made in 1990). I've always been awed at Quincy Jones' 60-year career and the way the interviews are interspersed with him in the studio with different artists and his work is really special. Check your local listings because I believe VH1Soul will be showing it throughout the week... Quincy Jones fans in the UK should also be on the lookout for the BBC doc "Quincy Jones: The Many Lives of Q" which has also aired in four parts throughout the month, Part 1 is posted below.
Quincy Jones will also be honored with BET's Humanitarian Award during the BET Awards tonight.
Some of my favorite Quincy Delight Jones Jr. compositions/productions:
Tamia "You Put A Move On My Heart"
Quincy Jones "Soul Bossa Nova" (sampled for Luda's "#1 Spot" & Austin Powers)
Quincy Jones "The Secret Garden" Barry White, James Ingram, Al B. Sure, El Debarge
Michael Jackson "Billie Jean"
Enough talk out of me -- what's your favorite Quincy Jones joint?
My favorite Quincy Joint is "one Hundered Ways" by James Ingram
My favorite Quincy Jones joint would have to be "Summer in the City." And I like the sample of it that The Pharcyde uses in "Passing Me By." Hey Rebel, maybe you should post something on songs that were sampled from Quincy's songs. There's a lot out there.
I thought I was the only one who watched VH1 soul...i swear i watched about 8 documentaries last week on that channel. You should watch Sam Cooke and Otis Redding's docs Rebel.

Not to change the subject but Mike Killed that performance
Bad ass Tamia! That girl is something else vocally
Tamia is the best female vocalist in the game. PERIOD!!!!
My fav Q song was between an instrumental from Back on the Block, called Setembro (brazillian wedding song), Take 6 did their thing on it as well (no words, just jazz rifs
