Perhaps, it should be entitled "A Very Good Quincy Jones Sampler"
This album is no different. "Greatest Hits" is too often given to compilations of songs whose inclusion will probably be disagreement by of listeners, reviewers, or even the record companies releasing the CD's.

Jones' prolific career, spanning several decades, has produced an abundance of songs in several genres, well represented here. From his television work ("Sanford and Son" theme) to his covers of others ("You've Got It Bad, Girl," "What's Goin' On," and "Everything Must Change") to his pop hits ("Ai No Corrida," Just Once," "Stuff Like That,"and "Razzamatazz") to stellar album cuts ("I'm Gonna Miss You in the Morning"), one can see that he has done it all.

Of course, "greatest hits" excludes so many that only a multiple disc set could do the musician justice.

But, this one will have to do for those seeking a "hint" of his greatness.

Running time: 1. 3 hours.


Mellow and to the point
The "Sanford and Son" theme is a real treat, and "Ai No Corrida" is still one of my all-time favorite songs. This CD represents the artist at his finest.

Quincy Jones has traveled a long and distinguished route in his business, and his accolades are well-earned. I rate this CD 5 stars for the way it chronicles the evolution of a visionary.


Quincy Jones is Da'Man
that song always Catches my Attention. Just for The Sanford&Son Theme alone this is a Winner. Quincy Jones is so Versatile. there's Nothing when it comes to Music that he can't do. Just Once is a Great cut with James Ingram Singing Razzamatazz with Patti Austin is Great also. Killer Joe is Beautiful to The Human Ear Drum. Stuff Like That is still Funky. Quincy Jones has So Many Styles&Creates So Much More. Pure Genius By This LEGEND.
