James Moody – Moody’s Mood for Love
From the counter

Moody shares the credit on this one with Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh, and thirty years after his 1973 cut, Amy Winehouse took a run at it. Play his first, then hers, and hear where the tune went.

Quincy took on "Moody's Mood for Love," but James Moody had it on record first and shares the credit with Jimmy McHugh and Eddie Jefferson. Start with Moody's own cut, then follow him or McHugh wherever they lead.
