Ike's Mood: Isaac Hayes' "Hot Buttered Singles 1969-1972" Arrives from Ace
Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks? If you answered "Shaft," you're damn right!

Holiday Gift Guide Review: Elvis Costello, "King of America and Other Realms"
It was a fine idea at the time/Now it's a brilliant mistake...

In Memoriam: Quincy Jones (1933-2024)
Quincy Delight Jones was just 14 years old when he introduced himself to Ray Charles. Though the pianist-singer was just two years older, he was already an inspiration to the younger musician.

Jones was struck by how Charles overcame adversity, and their shared ethos became one which shaped young
