James Ingram admitted that "Just Once" (Barry Mann - Cynthia Weil) started as a fifty dollar demo for ATV Music. I feel confident that James had no idea he would win Grammy nominations for the final product. ATV was founded as Associated Television in the U.K. is now owned by Sony and is valued at 1.5 billion dollars.

In 1981 musician, producer Quincy Jones released the Grammy winning LP "The Dude" and the number seventeen Billboard single "Just Once" as sung by James Ingram. The tune was the recording debut of James Ingram and peaked at number eleven on the R&B chart. James was vocalist on three tracks while others contributing to the project included Patti Austin, David Foster, Michael Jackson, Toots Thielmans and Stevie Wonder.
