Quincy Jones, now one of our great elders a true genius.This guy has done so much, worked with so many people, he even wrote music for the late great actress ,Bette Davis when he was music supervisor and conductor in 1971 for the academy awards symphony orchestra.

[@avasvara7545]

He is a humble guy. Professional and less wild here back in the day 😂😂😂 Triple OG Quincy Jones nowadays saying anything

[@2dasimmons]

Whatever he's saying is TRUTH. Quincy is candid and GENUINE, as well as being quite the talent!

[@2dasimmons]

just with his mom who was institutionalized and I think committed suicide. But there wasn't a mental illness with his father, brother or other family.

[@s.w.a.l.k2184]

AVA Svara: no way is Quincy Jones humble. He will go on the record about twenty odd years later to trash other stars and musicians who have died. Not humble one inch. Absolutely a backstabbing gory seeker.

[@tonybean1398]

The girl in the movie who Quincy Jones talks about (the one that played Sophia) turned out to be Oprah Winfrey, who would later go on to become one of the most powerful women in the world.

[@Snyper1405]

Oh yeah that same Oprah who "stabbed" Michael Jackson in the back? 😡👊🏽✨️💔🐍👑

[@karykares]

Oprah has a KZbin video speaking about waiting to be discovered for this Sophia role. She stated that she willed it into her life, because she was so interested after reading the book. She was so surprised about the casting opportunity.

[@captainnice9698]

Little did they know that Oprah would soon have half the money in the world

[@21stCen]

What an unbelievable life

[@SpaceGhost67]

Tell em' about how you were on the Jackson 5 show before you made it big, Dave......

[@jeffreyclem5953]

Yo Dave really sold for Quincy. Real recognize real

[@playcubex13]

The Oprah thing lol

[@starrcompany3275]

Did anyone notice that dirty cup of water Whoopi Goldberg brought that man? (In the movie clip)😳

[@SpaceGhost67]

[@Raad187KO]
