There you go. Right you are. My favorite Quincy Jones song is still the theme from “Sanford and Son”. One of my all time favorite TV sit coms.
2 more to go.
Don’t know about the man but he was talented and had some good songs .
I think he also was producer of most (if not all) of the Leslie Gore hits in the 60s.
There ya go. More good stuff.
As a jazz fan, I’ve always liked Quincy’s music, particularly the early ‘60s stuff. RIP.
