- ^ The "Don Elliott Voices" were generally Don Elliott, a frequent soundtrack collaborator with Quincy Jones, multitracking his voice. An example is the Roberta Flack version of "When You're Smiling", on the Dollar$ soundtrack. Flack is backed by a twenty voice choir, all created through multitracking the vocals of Don Elliott.
