My favourite Quincy Jones story is about under-handed Phil Spector...
Phil Spector - Acclaimed producer who also oversaw the production of a version of “It’s My Party.” When Quincy ran into Spector at a Charles Aznavour concert at Carnegie Hall, Spector told Quincy that he had just cut a version of the song with the Crystals. After hearing that, Quincy rushed back to the studio and had the engineer cut 100 acetates of the Lesley Gore versions and mailed them to radio stations over the weekend. Three weeks later, Lesley Gore’s version of the song topped the charts.
"Soul Bossa Nova" was a theme for the 1998 World Cup, the Canadian game show Definition, the Woody Allen film Take The Money And Run and the Mike Myers movie Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery, and was sampled by Canadian hip hop group Dream Warriors for their song, "My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style".
