Nominated for 12 Grammy Awards, including a win for Jones for Producer of the Year, Quincy’s 1981 album The Dude was simply one of the tightest realizations of his talents: orchestration, arranging, sequencing, his ear for anticipating new sounds, and ability to assemble an knock-out team of musicians, writers and engineers.

Rolling in the pocket with Jones was an elite band of musicians that included Herbie Hancock, Greg Phillinganes and Stevie Wonder on keys, Louis Johnson on bass, Jerry Hey on horn, Syreeta Wright and Michael Jackson providing background vocals, while star-making vocal performances come from Patti Austin and James Ingram. With engineer Bruce Swedien at the desk, Rod Temperton writing four of the album’s nine cuts, the atmospheric and keening harmonica of Toots Thielemans, Austin’s razor-sharp technique, especially on Stevie Wonder’s serpentine funk composition, ‘Betcha Wouldn’t Hurt Me’ it’s an album that makes you want to groove, dance, and love someone.
