Shout my Muggins Doc that's a mentor
Had some bad business nothing personal
But now that word out that we back
On some young Quincy Jones

Fantastic singer.  It ran in the family, his brother is one of the most underrated of all time IMHO.  They both had an ability to really sell a song, and make you think they wrote it or were talking about their own experiences, as opposed to just reciting lyrics somebody handed them.  Both great performers with a natural voice that was really expansive... What Becomes of the Brokenhearted is about as perfect as a record can get.  What more can you say about a singer?  These guys do this as a job, I doubt they ever realize what a gift they've given the world with their music.  I have literally heard that song, and a few of his others, hundreds of times since I was a child.  I can remember being 5 years old and listening to it.  They go in the studio for a session, do their best, and it inspires people, if they're lucky, for generations.  What an amazing impact he had on the world.
