Scorpeze explains it all…

Gettin funky with Quaincy…

yeah, sometimes I call him “Quaincy”

I was just effin around on you tube one day and I stumbled upon this footage of a Quincy Jones concert circa 1981…

I guess Q was presenting The Dude album live in Japan(there’s more footage if you search)…the band includes some of Q’s studio henchmen:

Greg Phillinganes(keys) John Robinson (drums) and Louis Johnson(bass)

the vocalist is the incredible Patti Austin…

if you ask me, this song–written by Rod Temperton–was intended for Michael Jackson…but for whatever reason,  he didnt do it…kinda like he didnt sing the opening verse of Secret Garden(and was replaced by Al B. Sure)

either way…cool video, cool song…

Enjoy.
