Listen Up (With Quincy Jones A.O.)


'90 DM QuincySingle3 1990 ListenUp

Single3: Quincy Jones, Listen Up, Warner Bros/Quest Records, 7 September 1990 (CD single: Warner Bros, 14 September 1990).

The exact release history is totally unclear to me, but this maxi single was part of a multimedia package with the documentary and “book with music” Listen Up – The Lives Of Quincy Jones, “a Warner Bros. motion picture”, available with cassette or CD. It obviously was also released on vinyl. The maxi single contains 7 remixes of Quincy’s composition Listen Up.

The core track features: Tevin Campbell, Siedah Garrett, Karyn White, Ice T, Al B. Sure!, The Winans, James Ingram, El DeBarge, Big Daddy Kane, Melle Mel, Ray Charles. Keyboards Programming: Eric Kupper and Mac Quayle. Arranged by: Arthur Baker and Arif Mardin.
