This man is a true genius, in 1971 he was music, conductor and supervisor for the academy awards. In 1971 Sean Connery and director Sidney Iumet asked Quincy Jones to write the music for the movie " The Anderson Tapes". In 1972 Steve McQueen asked Quincy to write the music for the 1972 film " The Getaway". Cary Grant and director Charles Walters asked Quincy to write the music for Cary Grant's last film "Walk Don't Run".

Most of these people who interview Quincy Jones have no idea of what to ask him. The same was true when he was on Tavis Smily, Oprah, and others,this is because they are personalities not artists.

Does that mean you weren't content with the interviewer's questions (relative to the topic, of course)?
