The Modern Sound of Mr. B is a 1964 studio album by the American singer Billy Eckstine. It was produced by Quincy Jones.
The album was chosen as a "Special Merit Pick" by Billboard magazine upon its release in June 1964. BillBoard commented that "Few singers manage in their careers to achieve a truly distinctive style, but "Mr B." has a style strictly his own."Stereo Review said of the album that "His vocal sound is warm and rich, his polish is obvious. This album is titled "The Modern Sound of Mr. B." It is a misnomer. Eckstine's sound is the same as it always was — like a 45-rpm Sarah Vaughan record played at 33 1/3".
