Oh Happy Day  performed by  Quincy Jones  (1969)
Composed by Hawkins
From: USA
Recommended by delicado [profile] on Sunday 24th June 2001

A great soul jazz track with one of the most beautifully spare and groovy introductions I've ever heard. Featuring Bernard 'pretty' Purdie on drums, Ray Brown on bass, and Quincy Jones on Fender Rhodes, it really is irresistible. The track explodes with a huge vocal choir about half way through; it ends up sounding almost like a gospel song, before slipping back into the cool funky instrumental sound from the introduction

from Walking in Space (A&M SP 3023), available on CD
