Quincy (band) - Name Change

Name Change

Shortly after the first album came out, Quincy Jones sued them for using his name. CBS Records did not help the band with the lawsuit. (Both the band and Jones recorded for CBS, and Jones was vastly more powerful than the band.) The band Quincy and Quincy Jones eventually settled out of court. The band then changed its name to Lulu Temple. The settlement stipulated that no mention could be made of the lawsuit in public.

After a long battle to release a second record, the album Don't Say No was released under the new name Lulu Temple. In addition to the new name, the band took on a new musical direction adding horns and percussion and a more layered approach. Without the support of the label and the lack of press, even the band's fan base didn't know of their new record.

    Oh take my Heart, and by that means you’ll prove
    Within too stor’d enough of Love:
    Give me but Yours, I’ll by that change so thrive,
    That Love in all my parts shall live.
    So powerful is this change, it render can,
    My outside Woman, and your inside Man.
    Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
