    Heard a guy in the radio just now saying that no matter your favorite genre of music, you have heard a song produced by Quincy Jones. The man was incredible!

    Hard to imagine there ever being another production team like Q and Bruce Swedien.

    A one-man-band cover of the great Quincy Jones' 1973 track "The Streetbeater," the theme song from NBC's Sanford & Son. Yes, I am insane to try to cover Quincy Jones, but I have loved this tune all my life. I hope all you other children of the 1970s enjoy it.

    This guy was the brains behind some people I thought were talented.
    Looking back…it was Quincy.
