Quincy Jones Tribute - Dad & Kai React

[@CocoasSelfLove-qy6so]

He also produced George Benson’s “Give Me the Night” album.

[@danedopeboy6623]

SO GOOD

[@saphire2214]

Quincy Jones' production on MJ's Thriller album is probably his biggest commercial accomplishment. The Netflix doc called Quincy is well worth the watch.

[@imnojoke1945]

True but he was already music royalty it's a shame that his resume only minimize to thriller. If we're just going by sales it's impossible to pinpoint when Quincy worked with tons of artists. Movie soundtracks TV show themes

[@jeanbeya6860]

One of my personal favorites from Q is The Secret Garden, James Ingram is on that one too along with Al-B Sure El Debarge and Barry White

[@aya9af]

Yes!

[@ktay2124]

Same!

[@masco2483]

Biggest Michael Jackson fan here! Off the Wall is my favorite MJ track of all time!

[@TheMJPhoenix]

My fav MJ album!!! No-skip album ✨️✨️✨️

[@cyrus22999]

“Off the Wall “ IS the BEST MJ Album Quincey created and collated “The Dude”… which is great

[@bryanstoudenmire]

Quincy Jones actually made the theme to Austin Powers and the theme to Sanford and son among others worked with Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie

[@dakotac180]

This... this can't be your first time listening to his music... he was literally a wizard of orchestrating and producing. He did many movie and tv soundtracks as well. Producing Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson were probably the best things he did, he definitely influenced Michaels bouncy groove. He is literally soundtrack to our lives.

[@Pinkladyisv]

Agreed! They have definitely heard his work but probably weren’t aware.

[@sunbeam1980]

Please don't forget his TV attributes including one of the most influential shows EVER - THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR! He composed the theme song and produced the show!

[@daydreamer4407]

And in the house as well

[@Divaliciousisms]

Rod Temperton wrote Off the Wall & Thriller, that’s why they sound related.

[@carolbrown605]

He also did tv show themes Like Ironside and Sanford & Son

[@cyrus22999]

Let’s not forget “The Mod Squad “ for obvious reasons

[@onicafoster6480]

Fly Me to the Moon is one of my FAVORITE Sinatra songs. Quincy is a legend!!!!!

[@danedopeboy6623]

YES BROTHER

[@thepodbaydoorshal]

I thought Kai might recognise the MF Doom sample from ‘One Hundred Ways’. I’m actually jealous that Kai has a whole catalogue of Quincy Jones music to discover. On James Ingram - one of the silkiest voices of the 80s. Check out his duet with Michael McDonald ‘Yah Mo Be There’. Also one of his best pop songs is ‘Always’ from the late 80s.

[@cardijefferson1427]

Yes I thought Kai was gonna catch it too

[@thepodbaydoorshal]

@@cardijefferson1427Would like to see his reaction to ‘Summer in the City’ 😂

[@frontroom]

Yoo!! I swear my ear heard a sample but I had no idea where it would’ve been from. I do know Summer In The City 🔥

[@thepodbaydoorshal]

@@frontroom It’s from ‘Rhymes Like Dimes’. 😉👍🏽

[@mikemr..3602]

Nothing like watching a new MJ listener...that man is magic 👍🏽🎧▶️

[@bryanstoudenmire]

Rip James Ingram and Quincy Jones

[@coachemup8185]

James Ingram was one of the artists who sang a solo in "We Are The World" which, as you know was produced by Quincy Jones.

[@onicafoster6480]

Off the Wall is an ICONIC album. RIP to the greatest of ALL TIME!

[@jaydubbxperiod]

He's THE all time super producer. He adapted with the times but that jazz/big band knowledge and experience took it over the top. He could hear where everything should go. So the songs built up energy as they progressed and had a lot of elements to keep you entertained, especially by the 80s when technology was advancing. MJs albums with him are mesmerizing, especially in headphones.

[@lakep7798]

Hi, guys! I haven’t watched the video yet, but I will. The funny thing is that you’ve DEFINITELY heard his music before because his influence is so far-reaching as to be almost ubiquitous. But I LOVE the idea of you intentionally taking a journey into the world of songs he’s produced, written, or otherwise had some hand in. You guys are just the coolest, by the way.

[@nykki21]

You expressed my same sentiment more eloquently. Thank you!

[@dakotac180]

This! This! This! I'm over here like dude is literally soundtrack to most of our lives the last 60 years.

[@sharonsantana7583]

100 ways is my song. Wow. ❤ May the king Quincy rest in peace

[@nicolawalton3510]

Michael is a legend QUINCYS production on off the wall, thriller and bad is iconic ❤

[@cjasewell]

The Brothers Johnson "Strawberry Letter 23"

[@danedopeboy6623]

YES

[@amontaineaurore4700]

Back on the Block was the album he won the grammy for in 1989. It had a lot of hip hop elements.

[@vredeling]

Rip Quincy. The best that ever did it.

[@smittybenzo4693]

Quincy Jones composed the Austin Powers theme song in 1962 (Soul Bossa Nova).

[@marilynseptember21]

Gosh I was born in UK but grew up in Nigeria and realise we Nigerians are truly privileged to hear all types of music from all over that I really find it difficult to hear a song I don't know from UK or America. We had the LP and danced a lot. Life was amazing. I read comics, watched cartoons, Soul Train and Top of the pops, listened to amazing music and just enjoyed life without a mobile phone or social media.

[@carlataliaferro4326]

My very favorite EARLY track from Quincy Jones is Killer Joe. It came out in 1969...it's awesome and he is playing trumpet on this jazz track. Hearing this come across the airways was everything. Also, I wish you had chosen Tomorrow sung by Tevin Campbell...beautiful!!! (Maybe you should do a really rabbit hole. 🤔 The Dude and Q's Jook Joint would do it for his mid career. )

[@denisea.nicholson-metz8872]

It amazes me that all of these songs are new to you. Just so you know, Fly Me to the Moon features Frank Sinatra AND The Count Basie Orchestra playing the instruments you love so much! The Off the Wall album was MJ's first "Adult Album" to break away from being a child performer. I think you should also listen to Soul Bossa Nova from 1962 from the Big Band Bossa Nova Album by Quicy to really hear his range of musical genre spanning.

[@mini1812]

I wish you'd chosen one of the songs from the only album of his I've ever owned, Q's Jook Joint. Great combination of his jazz origins and later production work in R&B. As your first patron said, lot to explore in seven decades of work, so it was all never going to fit into one KZbin video. It is great that y'all covered him!

[@masterdivineallah6758]

You know. There should be more talk about Quincy Jones after his death. However, I think all the other shit is on peoples minds. There's no way you can do him just musically in one video. What you covered was a great range. I like that. You may need to do a part 2 or 3😂. If you go deeper. Here are some..."Sanford and Son theme song" and all his T.V. accolades. "Secret Garden " "We are the world " etc...

[@opalviking]

Q’s footprint is ALL OVER modern music. What a legend

[@txzbelle75]

All of MJ albums are no skip, but Off The Wall is THE GREATEST ALBUM by MJ... My opinion. I always imagine that he and QJ were just having fun and rocking out... I was 4 years old. I was enamored with MJ because of The Wiz (which QJ heavily produced and appeared in the gold scene) and The Jacksons' Destiny album in 1978 the year before.

[@TheMJPhoenix]

Agreed!!! I mentioned it was no skip in comment also 😅

[@Winnib7479]

Many of us do know a tremendous amount about the Legendary Quincy Jones before Michael Jackson and other main stream artists.

[@saphire2214]

Since we're talking about Jazz, would you guys consider reacting to Samara Joy? She has an unbelievable rich and smooth tone. Only 24 years old but is a 3x grammy winner for Best New artist and Best Jazz vocal album in 2023. She also was awarded Best Jazz performance in 2024. Her live performances are simply delightful. We're talking Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan level of talent.

[@imnojoke1945]

Yes excellent suggestion she is phenomenal the next generation of greatness.

[@cyrus22999]

SAMARA JOY is amazing!!

[@thatguyturtle2991]

This 100%

[@imnojoke1945]

I just can't believe pops is not too familiar these mainstream songs and other Quincy projects like what? 🥺

[@bashleydesign]

RIP Quincy Jones 🕊💗

[@939nchs]

It is unfortunate that you were not around during the time at which Quincey was a “household” word. I am 80 years young and am considered a jazz enthusiast. You would rank “Q”. among the giants of arrangers in music. He most definitely was a fine musician and magnificent orchestrator. Kudos to you for increasing your taste in music❤

[@CocoasSelfLove-qy6so]

Also he produced “Masterjam” - Rufus featuring Chaka Khan

[@stacys6395]

Qs Juke Joint is one of my favorite album

[@MGAFFY]

Started off with an absolute banger. Another great is 'That's Life'

[@wheelerwon]

I wonder if you guys are gonna play some of the tv show songs he made like “Sanford and Son”. I’ll watch the video.

[@buddinganarchist1]

We need a Prince album guys.

[@tiniussonberg]

Quincy produced most of MJ´s discography, including thriller, in case you didn´t know

[@Theonefrombeyon]

Thought he only prod off the wall, thriller and some of Bad

[@imnojoke1945]

Wrong in case you didnt know after thriller album Quincy wasn't involved in MJ other albums MJ wanted different and younger producers. Off the Dangerous, Blood on the dance floor, BAD...etc

[@imnojoke1945]

​@@TheonefrombeyonQuincy only worked on those albums

[@tiniussonberg]

@@imnojoke1945 Well that´s definetly wrong, smh. Quincy produced the whole BAD album

[@imnojoke1945]

@tiniussonberg ok were both wrong....lol bad was quincy last collaboration

[@domsta455]

What a way to start the week. (It’s Monday morning here in Australia.)

[@frontroom]

Enjoy your weekend! (Kai's dad)

[@TheFrost82]

If you happen to do another one on Quincy, I would recommend "Ai No Corrida" from the same album The Dude

[@angelawhite1347]

Hi Gentleman I was So Happy to See You Featuring The Late Great Quincy Jones and Frank Sinatra also ; My Favorite Song of Frank Sinatra ; These Two are Absolute Legends Thank You So Much for this Reaction Loved it. 🔥🔥🔥

[@King-Vis]

24:53 Yes, that's the bassline (for Off The Wall). I believe it's a mixture of fender bass and synth bass.

[@MsLWade-wr1tk]

this is played in every house parties in the eighties

[@cheyenneburgess9717]

Awww you’re missing Tamia’s Move on my heart by quincy

[@bryanstoudenmire]

James Ingram was also in We are the world

[@aspekti2]

Great reaction guys, thanks for honoring the true GOAT when it comes to producing and also impacting music in general! Only bummer for me was that you picked the most mediocre track from one of the greatest albums there is, The Dude. I would have probably chosen "Ai no corrida" from the same album because it's just a absolute masterpiece production wise..

[@dylanporche1170]

Beautiful track still, but I completely agree, the first two tracks, "Ai No Corrida" and "The Dude" set the vibe for the entire album and its killing me that they didn't catch at least one of those in this reaction

[@nittamimi8842]

The 1st female gangster rapper died this year.. she had 1 cd.. but had legendary hits. BOSS best ever

[@trevorm8415]

Not a trumpet solo on One Hundred Ways, which received the 1982 Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance. RIP James Ingram. Tenor sax solo by the indomitable Ernie Watts!

[@ng-r8765]

It must be a cultural thing because I’m in absolute shock that the father doesn’t know who James Ingram was😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@lisacox3750]

It's a cultural thing. I know...I think about things like that too.

[@IvoryDT]

Can’t forget how he put the artists together and produced We Are The World!

[@calme-dx2dp]

When Quincy Jones (and brother)was growing up in Chicago, he said he and his brother would catch rats, bring them home, and their mother would clean and cook them. He was a trumpeter, but had to stop playing due to brain aneurysms. They had a fought time, with their mom suffering from mental illness also. He also composed the Cosby show theme...the one from the 70s *Back on the block* was a good album which went back to some of the work that had been previously done. It featured every type of song and singers from Rap to Jazz.

[@LORDPENTUS]

This was fire, Salute to you both for taking time to check out some Quncy compositions.

[@SoniT]

These are my favorite Quincy Jones albums: The Dude, Body Heat, and Qs Jook Joint. Also, Off the Wall is my favorite Michael Jackson album. Thriller was extremely popular when I was a child but listening to Off the Wall as an adult, it's my favorite.

[@danedopeboy6623]

Quincy is the definition of Timeless

[@kylesnyder3757]

MJ’s “music and me” is my favorite MJ album as a child

[@kellye5760]

Love this especially when, I began my weekend 😍

[@danedopeboy6623]

Can’t belive you guys are just finding some of this stuff out

[@graciataliane]

rip quincy and thank you for all the magic you’ve done down here 💕 thank you for everything

[@stephanienecolecleckley759]

Summer in the City my personal favorite 🥰🙏🏽

[@jeffreyharvey9919]

Great way to honor an absolute icon of American music. However, at some point you must do "The Secret Garden" - one of quintessential quiet storm songs. And be sure to do the full version. The video/radio edit cuts 2+ minutes from the song.

[@ImThatGuy-rg4xq]

gotta do secret garden its a classic

[@bryanstoudenmire]

He was 91

[@tiamonique]

MJ asked Quincy Jones about an album producer after/while they were doing The Wiz movie with Diana Ross-Berry Gordy was involved with the movie and Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson were songwriters for that movie. Rod Temperton was brought on board for the Off the Wall album

[@richardyett3985]

Soul Bossa Nova is a great track from early sixties. It was used as the opening in all of the Austin Power's films.

[@CocoasSelfLove-qy6so]

Yes guys, he had his own output which was very good 👍🏽

[@ShelbyBaby27]

"I think he won a Grammy for this..." Not just one, Quincy Jones has the most Grammys in history. Whether movies, TV, music, magazines, etc, Q had his hands in everything. Have to do a part 2 on Q....

[@l.g.brandon2072]

He's a music God!!! Rest in strength

[@satinalilly752]

He did movie and TV scores also. Google is your friend

[@bashleydesign]

Quincy Jones let Ludacris sample one of his songs. I think you guys should do Luda next. Get some of that dirty south vibes from Georgia

[@danedopeboy6623]

Incredible he worked with Frank

[@lout3921]

I would like Motown's greatest hits for him to listen to. 😉

[@Quandryification]

Would love if you guys went through the rappers that sampled his music. Q might be the biggest and longest lasting contributor to music. #RIPQUINCYJONES

[@lookhowshegobbledthat]

Off The Wall is such a goated track. Michael Jackson, Rod Temperton and Quincy Jones were the magic trinity to me: Thriller, Rock With You, Off The Wall, Baby Be Mine, The Lady In My Life, Burn This Disco Out, etc.

[@JaiOfficial2795]

Great vid again, would love to see you guys react to some Mac Ayres, incredibly incredibly talented and severely underappreciated r&b artist

[@jado4prez]

i would love to see yall get into off the wall in its entirety and some of michael’s other albums

[@markbarnwell942]

Off the Wall. what a fng talent. rip mike.

[@TransitionZoneGuy7b]

Gents check out some of the Off The Wall song analyses. Chris Liepe does a great job breaking it down. Michael and Quincy were pure geniuses.

[@Gdawg_10]

One Hundred ways probably sounds familiar because MF DOOM sampled it in Rhymes like Dimes 13:34

[@nittamimi8842]

On Quincy Jones the Dude.. listen to the DUDE...PLEASE he's rapping

[@olivebranchentertains]

Hey guys, nice selection. You should have probably chosen Sol basanova once of his most recognizable, instrumental songs. It has been sampled so many times and played worldwide. I think it was recorded in 1962. And he produced We are the World. Aid for Africa.

[@cjohnson_]

There's no way you haven't heard any music by Q. Come on

[@nerdlarge4691]

Quincy has been sampled by so many Hip Hop artists e.g. MF DOOM “Rhymes Like Dimes” and Mobb Deep “Shook Ones” .

[@phaze3247]

Wud love for yall to react to the dude album😊

[@casey4602]

Quincy suffered a brain aneurysm, during an interview Quincy said his doctor told him if he wants to live, Quincy would have to stop playing the trumpet.

[@travelonmiller4917]

I wish you would’ve listened to the other Patreon suggestion and showcase the song with him and Patty Austin. That song is better and actually a flawless example of Quincy Jones amazing talent as a producer. The song you played was a personal favorite of the African-American community and we play it regularly cookouts.

[@Delited2bme]

That James Ingram track was played in all the skinfolks homes that I would go into as a child.

[@txzbelle75]

David Sanborn- Find 100 Ways alto sax solo.

[@jmiguelsimpkins]

Actually that’s Ernie Watts on the sax solo.

[@GreatGospel97]

He produced “Soul Bossanova” which most will know as the Austin Powers theme.

[@Destyn2b]

I love 100 Ways!

[@shangosoul]

James Ingram is a cousin, I never meet. Quincy is the G.O.A.T.

[@danedopeboy6623]

It don’t get much better than Sinatra classic

[@RussellDale6019]

Actually Quincy has 28 Grammys.

[@marilynseptember21]

Bossa Nova is a must for Quincy. You recognise James Ingram, he has some big hits like 'Yah mo be there' and you should listen to more of his songs... Quincy Jones would have been knighted if he was from UK....so would Michael Jackson.

[@nicolawalton3510]

First solo album for Michael away from Motown … Motown albums were controlled by Motown. Off the wall was on epic records.

[@rosemarywatson1231]

you can hear and feel Frank getting jiggy with it. I prefer Nelson's Riddle though. But Q is the man!

[@kellye5760]

Baby Come To Me is the Best to me

[@LatashaWooden]

My favorite from Frank Sinatra is that’s life and moon river
