Grouped together, as they are on the double-disc
From Q with Love, producer/arranger/conductor
Quincy Jones' love songs sound an awful lot alike, with high-gloss production, silky smooth harmonies, and lead singers who all happen to bear a strong vocal resemblance to
Jones' most famous client,
Michael Jackson. It helps that
From Q with Love is loaded with hits from
Jones' past 30-plus years, including
Patti Austin and
James Ingram's "Baby, Come to Me" and "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?,"
Ingram's "One Hundred Ways" and "Just Once,"
Jackson's "Human Nature," and a handful of tracks from
Jones' 1989 golden showpiece,
Back on the Block. ~ Michael Gallucci
