Quincy Jones Ultimate Collection Zip
In 1974, Quincy Jones, who already had a wide range of musical credits behind him, opted to enter the R&B mainstream by hiring vocalists and overseeing recordings in a commercial vein released under his name. The first of them was Body Heat, which went gold, and Jones followed with a series of records including 1981's million-selling The Dude and the 1990 Album of the Year Grammy-winner Back on the Block. Meanwhile, he switched record labels, leaving A&M for his own Warner-distributed Qwest in the early '80s. That has tended to make the assembly of a comprehensive best-of difficult, but Universal's Hip-O reissue division specializes in licensing material from other labels to construct its Ultimate Collection releases, and this one borrows seven out of 18 tracks from Qwest to add to Jones' A&M hits, making it the definitive one-disc compilation of Jones' pop/R&B recordings of 1974-1999. Jones himself participated in the selection, which does not strictly follow chart rankings, since a couple of R&B Top 20 hits ('I Don't Go for That' and 'Slow Jams') are missing, while a few non-chart items are included. To get more songs in, the singles edits have been used in many cases. But all the major hits are here. The chronological sequencing allows an appreciation of how Jones' approach changed over the years. The '70s stuff, which holds up surprisingly well, is tasty R&B, much of it groove-oriented, up-tempo music. By the late '80s, however, there are a lot of big, bland ballads that showcase superstar vocalists (Ray Charles, Barry White, etc.) and sound self-important. Like his protégé, Michael Jackson, who went from the rocking 'Billie Jean' to the messianic 'Man in the Mirror' in the same period, Jones seems to have begun believing his press clippings, and his work suffered accordingly. ~ William Ruhlmann

Quincy Jones Ultimate Collection Zip

Since Warner/Rhino's 2005 Ultimate Collection appeared a mere four years after their last Michael McDonald compilation -- 2001's The Very Best of Michael McDonald -- it may seem that it's a little early to rehash the same recordings yet again. That suspicion is unfounded, since The Ultimate Collection finally delivers what McDonald fans have been waiting for: his solo hits and Doobie Brothers smashes on the same disc. Not that this has every hit he ever had -- his minor 1991 single 'All We Got' isn't here, for instance -- but most listeners won't notice the omissions since this 19-track collection has 'What a Fool Believes,' 'Takin' It to the Streets,' 'Minute by Minute,' 'You Belong to Me,' 'Real Love,' 'It Keeps You Runnin',' 'I Gotta Try,' 'I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near),' 'No Lookin' Back,' 'Sweet Freedom,' 'Yah Mo B There,' and even his recent 2004 hit cover of 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough.' Consequently, this is by far the best showcase for his smooth, soulful soft rock, and the one Michael McDonald disc fans both casual and fanatical should own.
