Quincy Jones Popular Song Rankings [2026] (1–10)

Summer In The CityQuincy Jones8rank/position

“Summer in the City” by the American folk-rock band The Lovin’ Spoonful.

There’s a boldly jazz-arranged version by Quincy Jones, the American music producer and trumpeter, and it’s definitely worth a listen! The original is poppy and light, but his arrangement is stylish and very laid-back.

How about unwinding with this track during your golden after-work hours or right before bed?

In the Realm of the SensesQuincy Jones9rank/position

This beautiful piece is said to have been composed by Quincy Jones after he watched Nagisa Oshima’s film In the Realm of the Senses and was deeply moved and inspired.

In addition to being a gifted musician and composer, Quincy Jones was also a top-tier producer; he teamed up with Michael Jackson and released Michael’s album Thriller in 1982.

The album was recognized by Guinness World Records as the best-selling album of all time.

I’ll Be Good To YouQuincy Jones ft. Ray Charles & Chaka Khan10rank/position

It’s a feel-good, upbeat classic in which the legendary Quincy Jones remixes the timeless vocalists Ray Charles and Chaka Khan.

The groove and grit of their lead vocals are, of course, outstanding, and the arrangement—crafted by a master of dance music—is superb.

By the way, whenever I’m about to feel down, I almost always listen to this song and bounce back in a brighter mood.

It’s a track I can’t live without.
