About this album
The Dude finds Quincy Jones turning polished studio craft into one of early-’80s soul-funk’s most accomplished statements. Released in 1981, the album blends disco, boogie and sophisticated R&B with the sharp arranging and guest talent that made Jones a defining producer of the era. It features some of his best-known solo-era songs, including the breezy title track, the chart-topping duet Just Once with James Ingram, and the irresistible Ai No Corrida. Grammy-winning and commercially successful, the album confirmed Jones as a hitmaker whose work could balance pop immediacy, musicianship and unmistakable style.
