quincy jones is an icon but he really needs to not be appearing in videos..lol
its nice but all akon beats are the same
@1 how is quincy not gonna be in his own video
loving the creativity with the colors
Hat’s off. Well done, as we know that “hard work always pays off”, after a long struggle with sincere effort it’s done.
Fashion
princess thats my point..He Need not be APPEARING IN ANY VIDEOS AT THIS AGE.
I like it!!!
I’m gonna need for Akon not to remix a classic song. Leave it to The Isley Brothers, please.
When will Quincy Jones come out??? I guess Akon is his next bottom lover. WTF is up with his embroidered detailed Liberace as.s outfit??? HOW YOU DOIN’!!!!!!!!
Timbaland is his twin…..
man if you heard the original you would know this is a piece of shit. sorry akon.
Boy stop a Icon, a pretty woman, in Akon please don’t mess up a classic. NEXT
I like the song…I really do. I was surprised that it was actually quincy Jones song featuring akon instead of vice versa. It’s a really nice jam. I heard it on 106 and park.. I loved it. The video was hot.
Why Quincy have to stop?
@ entourage
So what do you think about Jay-z at his age rapping ?
I like this, but love the original.
Isley brothers didn’t make that song. The Brothers Johnson made it
Can Quincy Jones be any more repulsed by the black woman rubbing up next to him? lol
I don’t like it I wish some things they would just leave alone I think the original is better.
I knew that this was gonna be bad…..why Quincy are you overseeing this?! The original is one of my all time favorite cuts. I hope that the remake that he’s doing with Jermaine Dupri, Usher, Trey Songz, & Robin Thicke of “Secret Garden” is not this awful (though I’m already scared)

@8 the original was done by The Brothers Johnson
isnt quincy jones going out with joss stone
isnt quincy jones going out with joss stone
too sexy…quincy jones is like 80 years old..jay is like 40..apples and oranges..jay also just released a number 1 album and has made over 10 million so far on his tour…he is relevant. I seriously doubt the kids are gonna be callin up 106 and park requestin this. *serious eye roll*
Sorry….can’t get into it.
The original is the bomb.
It’s like comparing Fillet Mignon (The Brothers Johnson) to a Big Mac (Akon).
Not the same.
I LOVE old school, so it didn’t do it for me. The video was okay, maybe this is something that will do well overseas, IDK. I don’t think we will ever see an 80 year old woman sitting at a piano with a man 40 to 50 years her junior. So, I say we edit Quincy out of the video. Quincy is a brilliant and very talented producer, a REAL producer at that, but not sure why he’s in the video or posing like a youngster.
Sounds ok, liked the video more than the song. But seriously, listening to this makes me want to listen to the original.
HONESTLY I’M SO SICK OF PEOPLE SAMPLING OTHER PEOPLE’S SH!T AND ACTING LIKE THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING GREAT. IF YOU ARE AN “ARTIST” THEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CREATE YOUR OWN. MUSIC SUCKS SO MUCH THESE DAYS. NO ORIGINALITY OR CREATIVITY AT ALL. THAT’S WHY OLD SCHOOL MUSIC WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER SH!T ON ALL OF THIS NEW CRAP!
& OMG PLEASE TELL ME THEY ARE NOT GOING TO REMAKE SECRET GARDEN! ARE YOU SERIOUS????????? THAT IS A CLASSIC R&B SONG THAT SHOULD NEVER BE TOUCHED! QUINCY JONES WTF??
@ toodles
lol yes chile we all know Quincy don’t like black women.
IF the song is titled Strawberry Letter 23,then why in the hell does Akon’s blue azz keep saying letter 22 ??? O_o … I’m just sayin!
The original was not done by the Brothers Johnson…the song was created by a young instrumental prodigy named Shuggie Otis which the BJ’s remade…. look it up
Lmao @ Which letter is it,22 or 20 damn 3 ???
Something is not adding up with Qunicy Jones because I heard some shit about him??
but not feeling the song
Mark Morrison wants his swag back……
NO. LIKES THE BROTHERS JOHNSON VERSION BETTER.
WHAT DID U HEAR? WONDER IF IT’S THE SAME THING I HEARD. SOMETHING ABOUT U GOT TO F**K QUINCY, BEFORE U GET ANYTHING. IM JUST SAYIING. I WAS SHOCKED ABOUT THAT ONE.
@ shoyastarr
Whateva….I like the The Brothers Johnson ‘cover’ better.
Happy?
SMDH
it is true yo, q been hitting da youngins for a min(tevin,catero,al b. sure,usher, this is garbage,quincy why remake over classics with artists who have no vocal capability to interpret half of what you represented the first time around, I will not buy that crap. Sad Quincy you have lost it, you should have worked with Michael one last time instead of chewing him out prior to his death and afterwards. TRASH
I’m open to change and I make every effort to make others happy. You can view my lovely photos on Richmeeting.com. I often put others before myself when it comes to making myself happy or bettering myself. I’m unselfish but I know when I need some pampering.
what’s with Quincy remaking this classics into fucked up versions? he needs to sit that shit down.
