Quincy Jones followed up Smackwater Jack and his supervision of Donny Hathaways
Come Back Charleston Blue soundtrack with this, a mixed bag that saw him inching
a little closer toward the R&B-dominated approach that reached full stride on
the following Body Heat and peaked commercially with The Dude. That said, the
albums most notorious cut is The Streetbeater - better known as the Sanford &
Son theme, a novelty for most but also one of the greasiest, grimiest
instrumental fusions of jazz and funk ever laid down - while its second most
noteworthy component is a drastic recasting of Summer in the City, as heard in
the Pharcydes Passin Me By, where the frantic, bug-eyed energy of the Lovin
Spoonful original is turned into a magnetically lazy drift driven by Eddie Louis
organ, Dave Grusins electric piano, and Valerie Simpsons voice. (Simpson gives
the song a Summertime-like treatment.) Between that, the title song (a
faithfully mellow version, with Jones limited but subdued vocal lead), a medley
of Aretha Franklins Daydreaming and Ewan MacColls First Time Ever I Saw Your
Face, and a light instrumental, roughly half the album is mood music, and its
offset with not just The Streetbeater but a large-scale take on Manteca, a
spooky-then-overstuffed Superstition (where the uncredited Billy Preston, Bill
Withers, and Stevie Wonder are billed as three beautiful brothers), and the
Streetbeater companion Chump Change (co-written with Bill Cosby). The best here
can be had on comps, but the album is by no means disposable. (Given a straight
reissue in early 2009 via Verves Originals series.)
