ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!

MUSIC OF A LIFETIME EPISODE #41 - THE FOREVERLASTING LEGACY OF THE MUSIC OF QUINCY DELITE JONES, JR (14 March, 1933 - 3 Nov, 2024), PART TW0

ALOHA FRIENDS. BACK ON 9 NOV 2024, I DID PART ONE OF MY FOREVER LEGACY SALUTE TO THE LATE GREAT QUINCY JONES, WHO PASSED ON NOV 3RD. IN THAT EPISODE I FOCUSED ON  THOSE SONGS THAT I FEEL FOR ME, ARE MY FAVORITE SONGS. WHICH AS IT TURNED OUT, THESE SONGS WERE MOSTLY SONGS THAT WERE RELEASED IN ALBUMS OR LP’S THAT TITLED UNDER THE NAME, ‘QUINCY JONES’. 

IN THIS EPISODE, I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE MUSIC OF SOME OF MY FAVORITE SONGS THAT QUINCY PRODUCED AND RECORDED WITH OTHER ARTISTS, WHICH TO ME SOMEWHAT STANDS ALMOST IN AN EQUAL SPACE OF WHAT HE DID PRODUCING MUSIC WITH OTHER ARTISTS IN THOSE RELEASES THAT HAD HIS NAME ON THE TOPLINE. 

SOME OF THE ARTISTS I’LL HIGHLIGHT IN THIS EPISODE ARE PATTI AUSTIN, JAMES INGRAM, OF COURSE, MICHAEL JACKSON…DONNA SUMMER…GEORGE BENSON, THE BROTHERS JOHNSON…RUFUS FEATURING CHAKA KHAN…THIS MUSIC WILL SPAN THE YEARS FROM 1977 TO 1982. JUST CONSIDER IN THOSE YEARS, QUINCY JONES COMPLETED A BODY OF WORK THAT CAN BE COMPARED TO ANYONE OF HIS PEERS IN IT’S TERMS OF SHEER WORK BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER JUST SOME OF WHAT HE DID IN THOSE YEARS AND I’M GOING TO JUST THROW THIS OUT THERE…AS NOT ONLY DID HE PRODUCE WORK WITH THESE ARTISTS BUT HE ALSO WORKED ON SOUNDTRACKS FOR ‘THE WIZ’ AND ROOTS…ALONG WITH SEVERAL OF HIS OWN RECORDINGS (SOUNDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT…THE DUDE). IF YOU DONT KNOW BY NOW, THE BODY OF WORK THAT QUINCY JONES CREATED DURING HIS OVER 70 YEARS IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS IS CONSIDERED BY MANY - INCLUDING ME - TO BE THE GREATEST EVER CREATED. SO AS I’VE SAID BEFORE, I JUST NEED YOU TO JUST SETTLE IN, CHILL OUT WITH ME, AND LISTEN TO SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC EVER MADE, IT’S THE MUSIC OF MY LIFETIME…BLAZE STREET MUSIC PRESENTS, MY FOREVER LEGACY TRIBUTE TO QUINCY JONES, PART TWO.
