{"product_id":"dude-4","title":"Dude","description":"Recorded at Westlake Audio, Los Angeles, California.\u003cbr\u003eAn enormous commercial success, 1981's The Dude is a cross-cultural success blending jazz, Latin music, soul ballads, and straight pop into an admittedly slick but never over-produced or soulless stew. The album opens with a surprise: \"Ai No Corrida\" is a synthesizer-driven yet still funky Latin dance track written by Chaz Jankel of Ian Dury \u0026amp; the Blockheads, suggesting that unlike a lot of musicians his age, Quincy Jones kept his ears open to new music. The proto-rap title track accomplishes the same thing. The rest of the album is more conventional, with James Ingram and Patti Austin trading vocals on a smooth collection of tracks highlighted by the masterful love ballads \"One Hundred Ways\" and \"Just Once,\" staples of adult contemporary stations, and the haunting Stevie Wonder-penned instrumental \"Velas.\" The Dude is an outstanding collection that was massively influential on the '80s R\u0026amp;B scene. ~ Rovi Staff","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49998219346207,"sku":"4988031186442","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/26f6317263167b4bac8ae6f45ead081b_b4528e8d-2775-4b2f-917c-41034f0ed821.jpg?v=1777763036","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/dude-4","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
