The Dude cover art

Quincy Jones' 'The Dude' brought together high-profile session musicians and vocalists in a polished R&B, pop, and jazz-fusion studio setting. The album helped foreground James Ingram and Patti Austin while consolidating Jones' early-1980s role as a major architect of crossover pop-soul production.
