appraisal of Quincy Jones' career says that he \"erased boundaries, connected worlds and embraced delight. As a producer, he coaxed ingenuity from his players and singers.\": https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/04/arts/music/quincy-jones-death-michael-jackson.html\n--\nSteve Porcaro and fellow Toto member David Paich worked with producer Quincy Jones on the \"Thriller\" album, doing some synthesizer programming and playing. Said Porcaro: \"Quincy had been asking David for songs and he was sending a messenger almost every day to David's house - where I was living at the time - to pick up anything David was working on. And so David was sending him stuff. One time, he had gotten a call that the messenger was on his way and he called down to me and told me to throw something we'd been working on onto a cassette. I didn't have any blank cassettes, so I took a cassette that had 'Human Nature' on one side and turned the B-side over, rewound it and put on these two songs of David's. and then gave them to the messenger.\"\n\nJones played both sides of the cassette and was excited about \"Human Nature.\" Quincy called David the next day and was raving about this tune that went 'why, why.' It took David half an hour to tell Quincy that it wasn't his song! But the song was incomplete lyric-wise and Jones asked Porcaro to finish them. Porcaro recalls: \"I forced myself to write the lyrics and Quincy was less than thrilled with them and he asked me if I would mind if he brought in John Bettis to finish them. I was completely thrilled with what John did with the lyrics.\"", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3422545, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3422545/?format=api", "airdate": "2024-11-07T15:32:42-08:00", "show": 61788, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/61788/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia600705.us.archive.org/15/items/mbid-2ed8a86a-7396-4aef-8b0f-21e6dc6ade9a/mbid-2ed8a86a-7396-4aef-8b0f-21e6dc6ade9a-4821683390_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia800705.us.archive.org/15/items/mbid-2ed8a86a-7396-4aef-8b0f-21e6dc6ade9a/mbid-2ed8a86a-7396-4aef-8b0f-21e6dc6ade9a-4821683390_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Rhymes Like Dimes", "track_id": "cb4c48c4-6889-3ccf-ab9b-750e969553ee", "recording_id": "357c68b7-3b75-49dc-9142-004c4bc01c13", "artist": "MF DOOM feat.
