Pretty good stuff....
These Qunicy years brought great songs by Michael Jackson and The Brothers Johnson. Quincy Jones's musical output from 1979-1981 is crazy. His album here "The Dude" is no exception. "Have you met The Dude and his mistress Patti Austin"? She is probably the best part of this record, the only throw away to me is maybe "Just Once", "One Hundred Ways" is the better of the two ballads. "The Dude" is pretty damn funky, and the best of the whole bunch is "Somethin Special". Patti Austin is ethereal in this song, with great bass slapping by Louis Johnson. "Turn On The Action" has a very urgent feel to it, and "Ai No Corrida" is just fun. Go get it.


The Man
He can get anyone he wants to work with him. Quincy Jones is the man. It really took me back !!!!!!!.


a worthy sequel to sounds
and the results are equally incredible!

the presence of guest singers includes the great patti austin, james ingram and michael jackson. if i'm correct, 'the dude' followed quincy jones' 1977 'sounds'. the instrumentalists are equally formidable like the brothers johnson, stevie wonder and david 'hawk' wolinski.

the greatest plus is that are more songs than 'sounds' 7 tracks. and a couple of them became identifying songs of the early 1980s like 'one hundred ways', 'ai no corrida' and 'just once'. there is very little to dislike about this album. it is foremost in showing off the producer as star. and that is not always a bad thing, is it, mister timbaland?.


Not much to say other than "near perfect"
I loved this album as a kid in the 80's, and now I'm going to upgrade from vinyl and get the CD. This album took a mid-western kid who only rocked with AC/DC and KISS and smooooothed me out a little and made me move from side to side instead of just bobbing my head up and down.


The Dude Rocks
Lost in my album boxes for years. I'd almost forgot how good this album was. A great dance-funk sound. Louis Johnson (Brothers Johnson fame) and Steve Lukather (Toto) really jam and just add to the all-star cast Quincy Jones gathered. You really need to add this CD to your collection.
