Uhm. Where does 1 begin w/ this? Q remaking himself as he does from time to time, with great result.This is the REAL FUNKY 'Qs Jook Joint' vers ft Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, Charlie Wilson & Brandy on lead vocals. Chaka was on the original as were composers Ashford & Simpson who are in the background mix here also, w/ Patti Austin etc etc etc. Quincy has such a unique gift for putting seemingly diverse elements/genres together & amazingly always making it work! LOL.
Can anybody help me, I'm looking for a version of this song that I can't find on YouTube at all!! It's not the faster one, it's realllly similar to this one, but still kind of different. Anybody know what I'm talking about?
@ERIELACKU34CH Nope, it's not that one... It's almost exactly the same as this one, just a few minor differences. I only want to find it b/c I'm doing a tap dancing solo to it, and I want to be able to practice.
@Bobsyermomsuncle--Quincy Jones remade it and put it on his 1995 Juke Joint album. The singers on this version are: Brandy, Chaka Khan, Charlie Wilson, Ashford & Simpson, and Ray Charles.
This jam has it all. Quincy has been around a long time making music to make your heart dance. What makes me feel like doin' stuff like dat? Got to be the music.
i remember being kind of mad when my dad would play this on the "Juke Joint" CD. Hip Hop had slowed everybody's tempo by then, lol. It was still good, Charlie and them sounded good, but I'd rather hear my old 1978 version.
the original is done by Ashford and Simpson , Shaka Khan and someone said MJ did some of the backing vocals ....The song was included on Jones' 1978 album Sounds...And Stuff Like That!.
this particular version is from the 1995 album Q's Jook Joint where the song is tweaked .... vocals include y Ashford & Simpson, Khan, Brandy, Charlie Wilson and Ray Charles while Greg Phillinganes was playing keyboards
I never really listened to Brandy, but she has a sweet little voice. I guess that now that she is older that her voice is a little deeper. She's got the chops here though. In my opinion she holds her end up.
The original version is on the album, Sounds, and stuff like that. It is the shit. This is a nice remake with Quincy's boy, Roy Charles singing. The girls vocals, which I think is brandy, is nice but not as mature or as good as Valerie Simpson and Chaka singing in original.
Both versions and the live 75th are great!. However i think this is the best. What a song.
