Steff.B … Quincy Jones ft. Barry White - From The Album: Back On The Block. 1989s BACK ON THE BLOCK is a producers record in every sense of the word. Although he produced and arranged every track, Quincy Jones is rarely front and center on his own album. Instead, every track is jazzed up--and souled up and rocked up and popped up--by a galaxy of guest stars. The range is remarkable; any album that can bring together Ella Fitzgerald and Ice-T has to have something going for it. That something is Joness uncanny ability to match artists and songs; few other producers would have thought of a Ray Charles and Chaka Khan duet, and having that song be the exhilarating Ill Be Good To You is just lagniappe. Joness jazz roots show proudly throughout, most particularly on the slinky bossa nova groove of Septembro (Brazilian Wedding Song) and the celebratory tribute Birdland. However, BACK ON THE BLOCK is really a concept album about the 20th century evolution of African-American music. !!! https://youtube/watch…
