James Ingram's "One Hundred Ways" is one of those two-step joints that just brings a smile to your face anytime you hear it for the first time in a while.

Lifted from Quincy Jones' album The Dude, "One Hundred Ways" proved to be the launching pad for Ingram's career and would earn him the 1982 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
