Quincy Jones - You've Got It Bad Girl
Audio CD: January 27, 2009
Original Release Date: October 1973
Format: Original recording remastered
Label: Verve
Bitrate: 320 kbps

Quincy Jones followed up Smackwater Jack and his supervision of Donny Hathaway's Come Back Charleston Blue soundtrack with this, a mixed bag that saw him inching a little closer toward the R&B-dominated approach that reached full stride on the following Body Heat and peaked commercially with The Dude. That said, the album's most notorious cut is The Streetbeater, better known as the Sanford & Son theme, a novelty for most but also one of the greasiest, grimiest instrumental fusions of jazz and funk ever laid down, while its second most noteworthy component is a drastic recasting of Summer in the City, as heard in the Pharcyde's Passin' Me By, where the frantic, bug-eyed energy of the Lovin' Spoonful original is turned into a magnetically lazy drift driven by Eddie Louis' organ, Dave Grusin's electric piano, and Valerie Simpson's voice. (Simpson gives the song a Summertime-like treatment. )
Between that, the title song (a faithfully mellow version, with Jones' limited but subdued vocal lead), a medley of Aretha Franklin's Daydreaming and Ewan MacColl's First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, and a light instrumental, roughly half the album is mood music, and it's offset with not just The Streetbeater but a large-scale take on Manteca, a spooky-then-overstuffed Superstition (where the uncredited Billy Preston, Bill Withers, and Stevie Wonder are billed as three beautiful brothers), and the Streetbeater companion Chump Change (co-written with Bill Cosby).
Enjoy it!
