00:01:51,611 --> 00:01:52,487
Wow.

2
00:01:54,155 --> 00:01:56,366
Can you even fathom
what's happening, like…?

3
00:01:56,449 --> 00:01:58,451
You know what I'm saying?
This is so…

4
00:01:58,576 --> 00:01:59,702
fucking crazy.

5
00:02:00,829 --> 00:02:02,580
Quincy Jones' house, man.

6
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:04,457
Believe it?

7
00:02:05,458 --> 00:02:07,252
So much history in here.

8
00:02:10,839 --> 00:02:12,966
Hey, baby. What a pleasure, man.

9
00:02:13,049 --> 00:02:14,884
Thank you so much
for doing this.

10
00:02:15,009 --> 00:02:17,887
It's The Pharmacy with Dr. Dre,
special edition.

11
00:02:17,971 --> 00:02:20,223
- Yes, it is.
- 'Cause we have the legend of all legends.

12
00:02:20,306 --> 00:02:23,309
Quincy Jones. The legendary Quincy Jones.

13
00:02:23,393 --> 00:02:24,811
Man, y'all making me sound old.

14
00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:29,983
- My ultimate mentor and inspiration.
- Don't even know how to drive.

15
00:02:30,066 --> 00:02:31,776
That's all right.

16
00:02:32,026 --> 00:02:34,154
You're the reason why
I decided to get into production.

17
00:02:34,237 --> 00:02:36,114
- So proud of him, my man.
- Yeah, thank you.

18
00:02:36,197 --> 00:02:37,824
- Thank you so much.
- No, I mean that, man.

19
00:02:37,907 --> 00:02:39,534
So, I really wanted to know

20
00:02:39,617 --> 00:02:42,662
what type of struggles you had
and what did you have to go through?

21
00:02:42,745 --> 00:02:45,832
I wasn't born in Bel Air, man.
I'm from the South Side of Chicago, man.

22
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:49,335
In the '30s, man, during the Depression,
damn, you kidding?

23
00:02:50,044 --> 00:02:51,796
We lost my mother when I was seven,

24
00:02:52,338 --> 00:02:55,216
and my brother and I, we were, like,
we were street rats, you know?

25
00:02:55,758 --> 00:02:58,094
I wanted to be a gangster till I was 11.

26
00:02:58,845 --> 00:02:59,679
Wow.

27
00:02:59,762 --> 00:03:01,848
- You want to be what you see.
- Right.

28
00:03:01,931 --> 00:03:03,683
And that's all we ever saw.

29
00:03:04,142 --> 00:03:05,476
You see that right there?

30
00:03:06,477 --> 00:03:09,689
I went on the wrong street
and they took a switchblade

31
00:03:09,772 --> 00:03:11,566
- and nailed my hand to a fence, man.
- What?

32
00:03:11,649 --> 00:03:12,483
Seven years old.

33
00:03:12,567 --> 00:03:13,902
- See this one here?
- Yeah.

34
00:03:13,985 --> 00:03:15,361
That's an ice pick, man.

35
00:03:15,778 --> 00:03:16,613
Wow.

36
00:03:17,071 --> 00:03:20,825
To know where you came from makes it
easier for you to get where you're going.

37
00:03:21,451 --> 00:03:23,620
And I learned a long time ago that

38
00:03:23,703 --> 00:03:27,040
your music can never be more or less
than you are as a human being.

39
00:03:27,248 --> 00:03:28,166
And that's very true.

40
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:31,836
Wow, I… You know what?
I'm sitting here, just,

41
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:34,339
really tripping the fuck out, man.
You are so…

42
00:03:34,422 --> 00:03:36,966
You are so inspiring, man.

43
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:40,511
It's like… like, do you know
who you are, man?

44
00:03:40,595 --> 00:03:42,180
It's Quincy Jones!

45
00:03:51,397 --> 00:03:52,982

- Yeah, Dad.

91
00:06:28,971 --> 00:06:30,640
You must be so tired.

00:06:30,723 --> 00:06:32,350

00:06:32,433 --> 00:06:34,477
I couldn't even stand up
for the second number.

94
00:06:34,977 --> 00:06:36,896
They gave us some serious wine, honey.

95
00:06:36,979 --> 00:06:39,399
I know, but six bottles?!
How you gonna get it back?

96
00:06:39,482 --> 00:06:40,691
We're gonna drink it here.

97
00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:47,115
- Are you shooting, honey?
- I am.

98
00:06:48,825 --> 00:06:52,328
I'm just learning. I'm not great
with a camera, I'm just learning how.

99
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,833
- Cute shoes, Dad.
- Thank you, honey.

100
00:06:56,916 --> 00:06:59,001
- Really cute.
- Pimp shoes.

101
00:06:59,877 --> 00:07:05,383
Do you think it's easier
to be up late in LA, to work by yourself?

102
00:07:05,466 --> 00:07:07,844
- Yeah, absolutely.
- 'Cause nobody's up, right?

103
00:07:07,927 --> 00:07:09,178
Absolutely.

104
00:07:09,262 --> 00:07:11,973
Well, nobody's up that late anyway,
so I always wrote at night.

105
00:07:12,056 --> 00:07:14,267
- Right.
- The muses come out then, you know?

106
00:07:14,350 --> 00:07:15,852
- Right.
- Everybody used to say,

107
00:07:15,935 --> 00:07:17,937
"Keep your score paper and pen
right near you,

108
00:07:18,020 --> 00:07:21,315
'cause if you're not up, God will take it
down the street to Mancini."

109
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:24,068
It's very true, honey.

110
00:07:24,152 --> 00:07:25,486
Haven't been sleeping a lot.

111
00:07:25,570 --> 00:07:28,197
- Been sleeping a lot, or haven't?
- I haven't been sleeping a lot, no.

112
00:07:28,281 --> 00:07:31,075
Too much on my mind, you know.
It's hard to turn it off.

113
00:07:31,159 --> 00:07:34,412
But let me ask you a question. Do you
think you could drink in moderation?

114
00:07:34,495 --> 00:07:36,122
- Do you think you could…
- Yeah, I do.

115
00:07:36,205 --> 00:07:38,249
Or do you think
it's a slippery slope, honestly?

116
00:07:38,332 --> 00:07:40,960
No, no, no,
it's not a slippery slope at all. No.

117
00:07:41,711 --> 00:07:43,546
But I want one badder than ever now.

118
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:46,424
- You want what?
- A drink.

119
00:07:54,098 --> 00:07:56,517
Dino, get me a bourbon.

120
00:07:58,144 --> 00:08:01,022
Where's Q?
Where's my… Where are ya?

121
00:08:01,772 --> 00:08:02,773
Oh, yeah!

122
00:08:03,232 --> 00:08:04,066
Come on!

123
00:08:04,609 --> 00:08:05,526
Oh, yeah!

124
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:15,578
The seven of us all together.

125
00:08:15,661 --> 00:08:16,704
We're all family.

126
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:19,749
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.

127
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:27,548
- You know the palindromes?
- Mm-hmm.

128
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:29,967
Just found a good one.

129
00:08:30,468 --> 00:08:33,763
"Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog."

130
00:08:35,431 --> 00:08:38,851
Go… hang… a salami.

131
00:08:38,935 --> 00:08:40,770
I love those.

132
00:08:41,145 --> 00:08:43,648
- These are amazing, did you try these?
- No.

133
00:08:45,650 --> 00:08:48,444
I wonder what's wrong with my appetite
though. Something's wrong.

134
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:49,654
Really, Dad?

135
00:08:50,863 --> 00:08:53,407
- 'Cause you know me, I can eat, honey.
- I know, I don't like that.

136
00:08:53,491 --> 00:08:54,867
Yeah, but it's okay.

137
00:08:55,660 --> 00:08:57,620
It's all right. It'll be all right, honey.

138
00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:02,583
No… If you don't feel good,
you gotta take care of it.

139
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:04,377
I will, I will.

140
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:56,095
My mother had gone away sick one day.

141
00:09:59,181 --> 00:10:03,394
She kicked and screamed as they threw
a straitjacket on her and carried her out.

142
00:10:04,645 --> 00:10:07,273
And just like that, she was gone.

143
00:10:15,323 --> 00:10:17,742
Daddy was a carpenter for the Jones Boys,

144
00:10:17,825 --> 00:10:20,911
the black gangsters
that ran the ghetto back in Chicago.

145
00:10:22,705 --> 00:10:26,375
We fought, we stole,
we ran with gangs and from gangs.

146
00:10:27,251 --> 00:10:28,919
By that time, I was carrying a knife

147
00:10:29,003 --> 00:10:31,714
and doing whatever
I thought I had to do to survive.

148
00:10:32,131 --> 00:10:33,132
Why not?

149
00:10:33,215 --> 00:10:34,967
My world seemed to be senseless.

150
00:10:35,426 --> 00:10:37,595
If my mother could go crazy,
who couldn't?

151
00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:40,806
Daddy was in over his head

152
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:43,225
and took us to stay with his mother.

153
00:10:44,602 --> 00:10:46,479
Grandma was a former slave.

154
00:10:47,521 --> 00:10:49,815
She cooked whatever
she could get her hands on.

155
00:10:50,358 --> 00:10:53,569
Mustard greens, okra, possums, and rats.

156
00:10:55,112 --> 00:10:57,990
We ate them
because that's all there was to eat.

157
00:10:59,241 --> 00:11:02,578
My mother broke out a couple of times,
and I remember, downstairs,

158
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:04,622
we heard the glass breaking,

159
00:11:04,705 --> 00:11:07,541
and Daddy said,
"Sit down to the table and don't get up."

160
00:11:07,625 --> 00:11:08,959
He said, "It's your mama."

161
00:11:10,211 --> 00:11:13,923
Kids kept telling me,
"'Cause your mother's really messed up,

162
00:11:14,006 --> 00:11:16,676
and if she gets out,
she's gonna kill you guys," you know?

163
00:11:18,010 --> 00:11:22,014
And so I started to picture her
and associate her with a death threat.

164
00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:27,061
When she got out one time, she came
and we saw her running to us.

165
00:11:27,144 --> 00:11:29,271
We screamed
and we ran about seven blocks,

166
00:11:29,355 --> 00:11:30,940
we were so afraid, you know?

167
00:11:31,732 --> 00:11:34,318
I said, "I can't depend on a mother
'cause I don't have one,

168
00:11:34,402 --> 00:11:36,153
so I don't need one," you know?

169
00:11:37,488 --> 00:11:39,365
I was happy that Daddy said,

170
00:11:39,448 --> 00:11:41,283
"We're leaving town, we're leaving now.

171
00:11:41,367 --> 00:11:43,786
We're getting on a Trailway bus
and getting out of here."

172
00:11:53,045 --> 00:11:54,463
Do you know the year?

173
00:11:57,007 --> 00:11:58,676
Do you know what year it is?

174
00:12:05,141 --> 00:12:07,017
- What year?
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

175
00:12:09,186 --> 00:12:10,020
No.

176
00:12:11,647 --> 00:12:13,774
Okay, it will come back. It will.

177
00:12:13,858 --> 00:12:15,067
Okay.

178
00:12:15,151 --> 00:12:18,070
Well, we had the new year,
so it's 2015.

179
00:12:18,154 --> 00:12:19,029
I get it, yeah.

180
00:12:19,113 --> 00:12:21,490
And the seventh
was when you got unconscious,

181
00:12:21,574 --> 00:12:23,159
because it's now the eleventh.

182
00:12:24,952 --> 00:12:26,996
So you lost four days out of your life.

183
00:12:30,624 --> 00:12:31,792
Who is the president?

184
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:35,337
- What?
- Who's the president of the US?

185
00:12:35,421 --> 00:12:36,422
What's his name?

186
00:12:38,215 --> 00:12:39,091
Do you remember?

187
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,301
Sarah Palin.

188
00:12:43,971 --> 00:12:47,099
I'm glad…
I'm glad some things haven't changed.

189
00:12:47,183 --> 00:12:48,058
Oh.

190
00:12:51,604 --> 00:12:53,606
You have any idea what happened to you?

191
00:12:53,689 --> 00:12:54,565
No.

192
00:12:55,816 --> 00:12:57,651
You were drinking too much.

193
00:12:59,487 --> 00:13:02,948
And when you came in that night,
you were having trouble breathing,

194
00:13:03,032 --> 00:13:07,161
your temperature was 103,
and your sugar was close to 1,000.

195
00:13:08,913 --> 00:13:11,290
You have to be on a low-sugar diet.

196
00:13:12,917 --> 00:13:14,543
Amazingly tough guy, huh?

197
00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:16,504
- Yeah.
- That's for sure.

198
00:13:45,407 --> 00:13:47,535
You guys are so supportive, baby.

199
00:13:48,369 --> 00:13:51,163
I love them, so that's why
I got my shit together quick.

200
00:13:52,414 --> 00:13:53,415
It was really scary.

201
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:56,961
I'm grateful to get that wake-up call.

202
00:13:57,503 --> 00:13:58,462
You know, grateful.

203
00:13:59,713 --> 00:14:02,466
After the operation,
in the hospital and everything,

204
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:04,635
my mind went to another place, honey.

205
00:14:05,302 --> 00:14:08,013
And you reflect on things
you never thought about before.

206
00:14:08,097 --> 00:14:08,931
Like what?

207
00:14:09,723 --> 00:14:10,599
Vodka.

208
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:12,768
That ain't gonna be no more.

209
00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:13,727
Nope.

210
00:14:15,938 --> 00:14:16,856
Not going out.

211
00:14:18,023 --> 00:14:18,899
Not yet.

212
00:14:20,359 --> 00:14:21,986
When I go out, I'll be ready.

213
00:14:22,319 --> 00:14:24,238
I'll be ready for it. Yeah.

214
00:14:27,283 --> 00:14:30,035
- Happy birthday, Q.
- Thank you, man. Thanks for coming by.

215
00:14:30,119 --> 00:14:32,371
- Love you.
- Love you too, honey.

216
00:14:34,164 --> 00:14:35,624
- Love you, honey.
- Love you, Daddy.

217
00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:36,542
Me, too.

218
00:14:38,294 --> 00:14:39,670
Love you, Dad.

219
00:14:39,753 --> 00:14:42,256
Smile, Dad. There you go, perfect.

220
00:14:47,386 --> 00:14:48,679
That's a whole lot of love.

Thank you guys so much.

226
00:15:04,778 --> 00:15:08,324
I gotta tell you, I wish everybody here…

227
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:13,662
a long, long, long-ass life…

228
00:15:14,830 --> 00:15:16,624
filled with a whole lot of, um…

229
00:15:19,460 --> 00:15:20,294
tons of…

230
00:15:21,629 --> 00:15:22,463
let's say…

231
00:15:23,547 --> 00:15:24,798
love to share…

232
00:15:25,466 --> 00:15:29,678
health to spare, and friends who care,
'cause that's really all that's important

233
00:15:29,762 --> 00:15:31,972
when you get down to it,
to the bottom of it.

234
00:15:32,056 --> 00:15:35,142
- I love you from the bottom of my heart.
- We love you!

235
00:15:35,225 --> 00:15:37,144
Make a wish.

236
00:15:51,492 --> 00:15:54,411
Daddy found us a little house
in Washington state.

237
00:15:55,621 --> 00:15:58,707
He grabbed the toolbox
and joined the long line of black folks

238
00:15:58,791 --> 00:16:01,293
marching down the hill
to the naval shipyard.

239
00:16:03,045 --> 00:16:04,338
He was a workaholic.

240
00:16:04,964 --> 00:16:08,342
He tried to do everything he could
to make sure it worked, you know.

241
00:16:10,219 --> 00:16:13,555
I was on shaky waters with identity
as a child anyway,

242
00:16:13,681 --> 00:16:17,142
because, without Mama there,
you're not quite sure what's going down.

243
00:16:18,602 --> 00:16:20,771
At the time, we're talking about the '40s,

244
00:16:21,105 --> 00:16:23,857
in the school books,
black people didn't exist.

245
00:16:24,733 --> 00:16:26,652
We didn't know who we wanted to be like.

246
00:16:26,735 --> 00:16:29,738
There was nobody to see
that you wanted to be like, you know.

247
00:16:31,615 --> 00:16:33,575
One night, I broke into the armory.

248
00:16:34,493 --> 00:16:37,329
In the room,
there was an old upright piano.

249
00:16:38,247 --> 00:16:39,873
I tinkled on it for a moment,

250
00:16:40,624 --> 00:16:44,211
and I knew this was it for me, forever.

251
00:16:46,964 --> 00:16:48,465
I was in heaven.

252
00:16:48,966 --> 00:16:51,677
I took up percussion, trombone,

253
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,264
sousaphone, B-flat baritone horn,
French horn,

254
00:16:55,347 --> 00:16:57,683
but I decided I wanted to play trumpet.

255
00:16:58,434 --> 00:16:59,685
I couldn't get enough.

256
00:17:01,145 --> 00:17:07,359
Just that idea, to see black men
that were dignified and proud.

257
00:17:07,776 --> 00:17:09,570
I said, "That's what I want to be.

258
00:17:10,112 --> 00:17:13,407
I want to be in that family,
I'd do anything to be in that family."

259
00:17:13,490 --> 00:17:17,286
I used to hang backstage
with Count Basie and Clark Terry.

260
00:17:17,578 --> 00:17:19,121
I know I used to bother them to death,

261
00:17:19,204 --> 00:17:22,499
and they were kind enough to stop and say,
"Okay, here's how you do it."

262
00:17:22,583 --> 00:17:23,751
And they helped me.

263
00:17:24,168 --> 00:17:27,004
And I started to play in a band
when we were 14 years old

264
00:17:27,087 --> 00:17:28,630
and worked in the nightclubs.

265
00:17:28,714 --> 00:17:33,177
And after we finished, we used to go off
and jam all night playing bebop.

266
00:17:33,927 --> 00:17:37,890
And that's where everybody
was talking about this guy named R.C.,

267
00:17:37,973 --> 00:17:39,558
and he was 16 years old then.

268
00:17:41,143 --> 00:17:46,190
I was new in town
and this 14-year-old cat comes up to me.

269
00:17:46,273 --> 00:17:51,487
He said, "I'm Quincy Jones
and I play trumpet, and I want to write."

270
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,864
We hit it off right away.

271
00:17:55,032 --> 00:17:56,909
Ray was so wise when he was 16,

272
00:17:56,992 --> 00:18:00,037
and you know how it is,
when you have an older buddy

273
00:18:00,204 --> 00:18:02,790
that seems to have all the answers
for everything.

274
00:18:03,624 --> 00:18:06,919
He'd say, "Every music
has its own soul, Quincy.

275
00:18:07,002 --> 00:18:10,047
It doesn't matter what style it is,
just be true to it."

276
00:18:10,798 --> 00:18:13,092
He's truly like a brother to me.

277
00:18:13,175 --> 00:18:16,136
In my mind, I sort of adopted him
like my brother.

278
00:18:17,429 --> 00:18:20,099
By then,
I had seriously discovered girls.

279
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:23,727
I discovered the ladies
not in the same way I discovered music,

280
00:18:23,852 --> 00:18:27,731
but enough to win the heart
of a beautiful girl named Jeri Caldwell

281
00:18:27,815 --> 00:18:29,024
from my high school.

282
00:18:30,109 --> 00:18:33,987
Night after night, as I wandered
in and out of clubs, bars, and juke joints

283
00:18:34,071 --> 00:18:37,825
with my trumpet beneath my arm
and my scores tucked beneath my shirt,

284
00:18:38,158 --> 00:18:41,161
a tiny glint of something new
began to emerge in my life.

285
00:18:41,662 --> 00:18:43,413
Something I'd never had before.

286
00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:48,877
I had no control over where I lived,
no control over my sick mother.

287
00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:50,879
I couldn't control the angry whites

288
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:54,383
who still called me "nigger"
when they caught me alone on the street.

289
00:18:54,925 --> 00:18:57,761
But music was one thing I could control.

290
00:18:58,428 --> 00:19:01,348
It was the one thing
that offered me my freedom.

291
00:19:04,518 --> 00:19:07,396
Lionel Hampton was like a god
in those days.

292
00:19:07,855 --> 00:19:10,149
He had the rockin'-est band in America.

293
00:19:10,232 --> 00:19:13,443
When he said, "Young huss,
you wanna join my band?"

294
00:19:13,861 --> 00:19:15,195
I said, "Yes, sir!"

295
00:19:15,654 --> 00:19:17,281
I was in the band!

296
00:19:26,874 --> 00:19:30,085
Lionel Hampton would pass out
an itinerary of our schedule.

297
00:19:30,878 --> 00:19:32,838
Seventy straight nights.

298
00:19:32,921 --> 00:19:35,215
We worked non-stop, not one night off.

299
00:19:39,011 --> 00:19:42,055
At that time, all of the black bands
had white bus drivers

300
00:19:42,139 --> 00:19:44,975
to go in the restaurants to get the food
to bring it back to the band.

301
00:19:45,976 --> 00:19:47,603
We hit some city in Texas,

302
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:49,605
and in the middle of the city,

303
00:19:49,771 --> 00:19:51,315
there's this small church,

304
00:19:51,940 --> 00:19:55,694
and there was a rope with a black dummy
hanging off of the steeple.

305
00:19:56,528 --> 00:19:58,363
This was everyday stuff then.

306
00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:01,033
You know you just better be careful.

307
00:20:03,118 --> 00:20:05,370
And the best thing
that ever happened to me was traveling.

308
00:20:07,539 --> 00:20:11,168
As soon as we got off the plane,
wherever it was, you know, Paris,

309
00:20:11,251 --> 00:20:14,254
Turkey, Pakistan, Casablanca…

310
00:20:14,755 --> 00:20:17,591
I made it my business
to get right into the lifestyle

311
00:20:17,674 --> 00:20:19,384
of the real people in the country.

312
00:20:28,727 --> 00:20:29,770
Is there some vodka?

313
00:20:30,187 --> 00:20:31,230
No, it's in there.

314
00:20:31,772 --> 00:20:33,148
Why no… why no vodka?

315
00:20:38,695 --> 00:20:39,738
Thank you, baby.

316
00:20:41,365 --> 00:20:44,076
- So sweet.
- I'm nervous about Europe.

317
00:20:44,159 --> 00:20:45,827
I don't… Forget it, honey.

318
00:20:45,911 --> 00:20:48,080
- I don't even want wine.
- Really?

319
00:20:48,163 --> 00:20:50,123
- Nothing wrong with that.
- You're not gonna want…

320
00:20:50,207 --> 00:20:52,125
- It's not gonna be…
- No.

321
00:20:52,209 --> 00:20:55,212
- I don't think so, I think he feels okay.
- It's been five, six months.

322
00:20:55,295 --> 00:20:57,047
It's not even in my body anymore.

323
00:20:57,130 --> 00:20:59,132
- Not even the temptation, honey.
- Good.

324
00:21:01,718 --> 00:21:03,470
The girls are the only temptation.

325
00:21:42,384 --> 00:21:45,637
Give it up for my brother, D'Angelo.

326
00:21:47,264 --> 00:21:48,849
Mary J. Blige!

327
00:21:51,393 --> 00:21:54,730
My brother, Carlos Santana!

328
00:22:05,907 --> 00:22:08,285
- Boo!
- Hey, man, my baby.

329
00:22:08,618 --> 00:22:09,995
- Hey, Herbie.
- Hey, Q.

330
00:22:10,245 --> 00:22:12,456
- How you doin', man?
- Good. Missing you, man.

331
00:22:12,539 --> 00:22:14,624
- You look great.
- I lost 50 pounds.

332
00:22:14,708 --> 00:22:15,876
Congratulations, man!

333
00:22:16,418 --> 00:22:18,503
- Thank you, sir, how…
- You started it.

334
00:22:20,464 --> 00:22:21,423
Bonsoir.

335
00:22:24,259 --> 00:22:25,177
Merci.

336
00:22:25,927 --> 00:22:28,472
I just wanted to say first, tonight,

337
00:22:28,889 --> 00:22:32,059
how much I appreciate
being a part of this family.

338
00:22:32,642 --> 00:22:34,269
Very much so. Thank you.

339
00:22:36,313 --> 00:22:38,857
These next two incredible human beings,

340
00:22:39,232 --> 00:22:41,985
Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock!

341
00:22:42,444 --> 00:22:43,445
Mon frère.

342
00:22:44,988 --> 00:22:46,573
- Hey, Herbie.
- Hey.

343
00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:49,951
- You got it?
- Got it.

344
00:22:50,035 --> 00:22:51,244
All right. All right.

345
00:22:51,328 --> 00:22:53,789
I'm really, really happy
how good you're looking, man.

346
00:22:53,872 --> 00:22:54,706
Thank you, man.

347
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:57,459
Follow him. He told me a long time ago,
I didn't listen.

348
00:22:57,709 --> 00:22:59,002
He told me to stop drinking.

349
00:22:59,086 --> 00:23:01,922
- I worked on him for a while.
- He did! Ten years ago, man.

350
00:23:02,005 --> 00:23:03,882
I said to Herbie, "You must be crazy."

351
00:23:03,965 --> 00:23:05,967
Man, I've had less hair many times.

352
00:23:06,093 --> 00:23:08,053
- Brain operations and shit.
- Oh, yeah.

353
00:23:08,136 --> 00:23:10,097
- They're not getting you this time!
- Hell, no.

354
00:23:10,180 --> 00:23:12,682
You got a new "get out of jail free" card.

355
00:23:12,766 --> 00:23:13,600
That's right.

356
00:23:14,101 --> 00:23:16,728
- A government pass.
- Yeah!

357
00:23:19,272 --> 00:23:21,024
Oh, amazing city.

358
00:23:21,733 --> 00:23:26,029
It's beautiful how your memories
stick with you, and the cities you love.

359
00:23:26,947 --> 00:23:30,409
- Does it hurt to leave?
- Yeah. It always hurts to leave.

360
00:23:31,118 --> 00:23:32,786
But I know I'll be back, though.

361
00:23:34,621 --> 00:23:37,499
Dad, how do you deal
with your ego and your art?

362
00:23:37,874 --> 00:23:38,834
You know…

363
00:23:39,543 --> 00:23:41,086
you need confidence, sure.

364
00:23:41,169 --> 00:23:43,338
- That's… I'm not denying that.
- Yeah.

365
00:23:43,422 --> 00:23:47,175
But the… an ego is usually just, uh…

366
00:23:49,052 --> 00:23:51,680
overdressed… insecurity.

367
00:23:51,763 --> 00:23:52,639
Mm.

368
00:23:53,849 --> 00:23:58,478
I think you have to dream so big
that you can't get an ego.

369
00:23:58,979 --> 00:24:00,981
'Cause you'll never fulfill
all those dreams.

370
00:24:02,149 --> 00:24:04,067
There's always more to come and learn.

371
00:24:05,527 --> 00:24:07,696
I learned a lot from the old guys, too.

372
00:24:12,117 --> 00:24:15,787
I left the Lionel Hampton Band
and I was off to New York City

373
00:24:15,871 --> 00:24:18,790
to follow my dream
of composing and arranging.

374
00:24:20,417 --> 00:24:23,295
I lived with my wife, Jeri,
and our baby, Jolie.

375
00:24:25,088 --> 00:24:27,716
This music called bebop
was being created in New York,

376
00:24:28,175 --> 00:24:30,510
and I was dying to get closer to it.

377
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,182
I'd hang out at Birdland,
or other bars and clubs,

378
00:24:35,265 --> 00:24:36,933
always looking for the next job.

379
00:24:37,767 --> 00:24:39,644
I wrote for anybody who would pay.

380
00:24:41,021 --> 00:24:45,066
I met a singer named Dinah Washington
and she became a great friend to me.

381
00:24:45,901 --> 00:24:48,320
Dinah said, "I want you
to write my next record."

382
00:24:48,945 --> 00:24:52,240
Her label, Mercury Records, said,
"Nope, we want a name."

383
00:24:52,908 --> 00:24:55,118
Dinah said, "Here's a name for your ass.

384
00:24:55,202 --> 00:24:57,829
Dinah Washington,
and Quincy Jones is my arranger."

385
00:24:58,622 --> 00:25:00,457
The record was a big success.

386
00:25:00,540 --> 00:25:02,792
After that, the work started to flow.

387
00:25:04,044 --> 00:25:05,837
I did hundreds
of arrangements and recordings

388
00:25:05,921 --> 00:25:08,340
with the absolute best in the business.

389
00:25:09,132 --> 00:25:10,050
Louis Armstrong,

390
00:25:10,717 --> 00:25:11,968
Count Basie,

391
00:25:12,302 --> 00:25:13,553
Sarah Vaughan,

392
00:25:13,929 --> 00:25:15,055
Clark Terry,

393
00:25:15,555 --> 00:25:16,473
Dizzy Gillespie,

394
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:19,267
and my buddy, Ray Charles.

395
00:25:19,684 --> 00:25:23,021
To really describe
the true soul in his arrangements,

396
00:25:23,104 --> 00:25:25,106
I can't really put it into words.

397
00:25:25,690 --> 00:25:29,236
It's just a feeling
that you can feel it all down in here,

398
00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:31,863
and before you know it,
you're tapping your toe, you know?

399
00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:34,074
With the work came money,

400
00:25:34,157 --> 00:25:35,992
and with the money came temptations.

401
00:25:36,576 --> 00:25:38,662
Women and money and work came together

402
00:25:39,162 --> 00:25:40,705
and I embraced them all.

403
00:25:42,123 --> 00:25:45,544
I was at a higher altitude
than I had ever dreamed possible.

404
00:25:46,836 --> 00:25:48,713
But I didn't know what was coming.

405
00:25:52,050 --> 00:25:55,762
My mother had searched for me for years
before finding me.

406
00:25:56,721 --> 00:25:58,014
God knows how she did it.

407
00:25:59,516 --> 00:26:01,101
She was a schizophrenic.

408
00:26:01,184 --> 00:26:03,061
Dementia praecox, they call it.

409
00:26:05,188 --> 00:26:08,525
I remember the first time I played
in Birdland with my own big band,

410
00:26:08,608 --> 00:26:11,486
and that is really
a serious dream to come true.

411
00:26:12,112 --> 00:26:13,488
My mother came,

412
00:26:13,947 --> 00:26:17,617
and when she walks in the door,
boy, you know, you can't ignore her.

413
00:26:17,951 --> 00:26:19,995
I knew she was gonna raise hell.

414
00:26:20,078 --> 00:26:21,955
So she came in and people said,

415
00:26:22,038 --> 00:26:24,457
"Sorry, ma'am, but you can't
come in here without a ticket."

416
00:26:24,541 --> 00:26:26,251
She just said, "Get out of the way!"

417
00:26:26,334 --> 00:26:28,545
I'm on the bandstand, trying to look cool,

418
00:26:28,628 --> 00:26:29,588
and it was pitiful.

419
00:26:30,630 --> 00:26:31,798
I was so embarrassed.

420
00:26:33,633 --> 00:26:35,844
She said, "God doesn't like sinners.

421
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:39,222
Make music for God only
or you'll be redeemed in hell."

422
00:26:41,933 --> 00:26:43,476
I just closed down.

423
00:26:46,646 --> 00:26:48,940
Count Basie was like a father to me.

424
00:26:50,859 --> 00:26:53,695
"Learn to deal with the valleys, Quincy,"
he advised.

425
00:26:54,404 --> 00:26:56,489
"The hills will take care of themselves."

426
00:26:59,743 --> 00:27:02,203
I wanted to write
different kinds of music,

427
00:27:02,287 --> 00:27:03,955
you know, more than just jazz.

428
00:27:04,039 --> 00:27:06,041
Because in those days, in New York,

429
00:27:06,207 --> 00:27:08,960
they wouldn't let the black arrangers
write for strings.

430
00:27:11,671 --> 00:27:14,716
I moved to Paris in 1957

431
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:17,385
so that I could study
with Nadia Boulanger,

432
00:27:17,886 --> 00:27:19,888
the queen of classical music.

433
00:27:21,389 --> 00:27:24,934
This was a lady
that was Igor Stravinsky's mentor,

434
00:27:25,268 --> 00:27:27,646
and she also taught Leonard Bernstein.

435
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,233
I said, "I really want to know
everything IÂ can about orchestration."

436
00:27:33,234 --> 00:27:34,986
Her words stick with me a lot.

437
00:27:35,528 --> 00:27:38,239
She said,
"Quincy, there are only 12 notes.

438
00:27:39,199 --> 00:27:40,700
There really are only 12 notes,

439
00:27:41,326 --> 00:27:44,996
and you should really investigate
what everybody did with these 12Â notes."

440
00:27:45,872 --> 00:27:47,624
And I never forgot that.

441
00:27:49,542 --> 00:27:53,797
In Paris, I did 200 sessions
with huge string sections

442
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,758
and wrote for strings
until it came out of my ears.

443
00:27:59,511 --> 00:28:03,139
France made me feel free as an artist
and as a black man.

444
00:28:13,108 --> 00:28:14,901
- Got so much shit going on.
- Yeah.

445
00:28:14,984 --> 00:28:17,946
That's an understatement, isn't it?
What's next?

446
00:28:18,488 --> 00:28:20,031
Uh, the contracts.

447
00:28:20,782 --> 00:28:22,909
- I shouldn't sign this?
- Um, no, I wouldn't.

448
00:28:22,992 --> 00:28:23,993
- Okay.
- Not yet.

449
00:28:24,077 --> 00:28:27,580
Not until he sends you something
that's even remotely acceptable.

450
00:28:28,081 --> 00:28:30,166
- Great magazine. Jesus.
- Isn't it awesome?

451
00:28:30,250 --> 00:28:31,918
Does it say anything on the Internet?

452
00:28:32,711 --> 00:28:34,254
Who else is involved in that?

453
00:28:34,337 --> 00:28:36,172
It's an understatement to say that.

454
00:28:36,256 --> 00:28:37,590
Put that in there too.

455
00:28:38,174 --> 00:28:39,259
How you doing, honey?

456
00:28:39,342 --> 00:28:40,969
- What you got, some pills?
- Yeah.

457
00:28:41,052 --> 00:28:42,804
- I'll take 'em.
- You have…? Okay.

458
00:28:45,140 --> 00:28:46,474
I'll definitely take 'em.

459
00:28:47,851 --> 00:28:49,477
What else is on the list?

460
00:28:50,645 --> 00:28:53,231
The African-American Museum Smithsonian.

461
00:28:53,314 --> 00:28:56,818
Uh, they want you to produce
a TV special for the opening.

462
00:28:57,152 --> 00:29:00,196
Oh, the African-American
Smithsonian Institute,

463
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,532
um, right in front
of the Lincoln Memorial.

464
00:29:03,742 --> 00:29:05,368
And they asked me to produce it?

465
00:29:06,035 --> 00:29:07,495
Then I'm gonna produce it.

466
00:29:09,456 --> 00:29:10,415
It's very…

467
00:29:10,832 --> 00:29:11,708
special, though.

468
00:29:11,791 --> 00:29:14,627
Yeah, it's a pretty incredible
honor that you're…

469
00:29:14,711 --> 00:29:17,505
- Yeah, we gotta kill it, man.
- Who do you want for this show?

470
00:29:18,006 --> 00:29:21,634
It should be the top of every… category.

471
00:29:21,718 --> 00:29:26,014
Well, my immediate choice
would be Oprah, Will, and Jazzy Jeff.

472
00:29:26,097 --> 00:29:29,392
- Okay, add Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff.
- Yep.

473
00:29:30,018 --> 00:29:31,352
Mary J. Blige.

474
00:29:31,853 --> 00:29:32,729
John Legend.

475
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,690
- You want Herbie, right?
- Oh, for always.

476
00:29:36,107 --> 00:29:37,484
We should send a "save the date"…

477
00:29:37,567 --> 00:29:39,444
- To all these people
- To all these artists.

478
00:29:39,527 --> 00:29:40,987
Yeah, definitely.

479
00:29:41,529 --> 00:29:42,864
Stevie for sure.

480
00:29:42,947 --> 00:29:43,865
Usher.

481
00:29:44,532 --> 00:29:46,034
My brother, Colin Powell.

482
00:29:46,242 --> 00:29:47,327
Dave Chappelle.

483
00:29:48,077 --> 00:29:50,955
Naturally, we should have the First Lady
and President on there.

484
00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:53,833
So cool, man… So cool!

485
00:29:53,917 --> 00:29:56,419
These are important moments in history

486
00:29:56,503 --> 00:29:58,963
and we're getting to watch
how it goes down.

487
00:29:59,047 --> 00:30:00,131
It's exciting.

488
00:30:02,634 --> 00:30:04,052
Another serious challenge.

489
00:30:04,135 --> 00:30:05,094
God…

490
00:30:05,470 --> 00:30:08,890
I love how I always end up jumping
into all this stuff, I can't believe it.

491
00:30:08,973 --> 00:30:10,225
Because it's not easy.

492
00:30:12,477 --> 00:30:13,978
Daddy got me to do that.

493
00:30:14,771 --> 00:30:19,984
He always said, "Once a… task has
just begun, never leave it till it's done.

494
00:30:20,276 --> 00:30:23,571
Be the labor great or small,
do it well or not at all."

495
00:30:24,697 --> 00:30:26,533
Every day, he told us that.

496
00:30:31,454 --> 00:30:34,833
In 1959, I had assembled
a dream big band

497
00:30:34,916 --> 00:30:36,876
for a show called Free and Easy.

498
00:30:38,545 --> 00:30:41,548
It was the greatest band
I could ever dream of.

499
00:30:47,762 --> 00:30:49,973
After six weeks, the show closed.

500
00:30:52,141 --> 00:30:53,476
I couldn't stand it.

501
00:30:55,019 --> 00:30:56,771
So I stood up and told the band,

502
00:30:57,522 --> 00:30:59,399
"Let's stay here and tough it out."

503
00:31:01,150 --> 00:31:03,027
Every single one of them agreed.

504
00:31:06,114 --> 00:31:09,325
But after ten months
of hauling 30 people across Europe,

505
00:31:09,742 --> 00:31:11,202
I started to break down.

506
00:31:13,037 --> 00:31:14,497
We were stuck over there.

507
00:31:15,665 --> 00:31:17,750
I had no money. I didn't know what to do.

508
00:31:19,627 --> 00:31:21,129
It was time to go home.

509
00:31:22,297 --> 00:31:26,801
The band and myself, we'd like to say
auf Wiedersehen, au revoir, and goodbye.

510
00:31:28,469 --> 00:31:30,889
For the first time in my adult life,

511
00:31:31,014 --> 00:31:33,224
I went out and got me a real job.

512
00:31:37,437 --> 00:31:39,814
I was working as an executive
at Mercury Records

513
00:31:39,898 --> 00:31:44,360
trying to get from under the $145,000 debt
from the Free and Easy tour.

514
00:31:45,486 --> 00:31:48,907
I said, "Well, pop music is not
that big a deal, you know, to do."

515
00:31:48,990 --> 00:31:51,701
And they just kept saying, "Well, why
don't you do something about it?"

516
00:31:52,368 --> 00:31:54,913
It turned out to be
a little harder than I thought.

517
00:31:55,455 --> 00:31:58,791
Plowing through piles of demo tapes,
listening to bad songs.

518
00:31:59,876 --> 00:32:02,629
One afternoon,
they tossed a tape down the table.

519
00:32:03,004 --> 00:32:05,673
I said, "I'd like
to take a shot with this."

520
00:32:06,674 --> 00:32:10,219
It was a 16-year-old kid from New Jersey
named Lesley Gore.

521
00:32:10,929 --> 00:32:13,139
We cut a single called "It's My Party".

522
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,893
♪ It's my party ♪
♪ And I'll cry if I want to ♪

523
00:32:16,976 --> 00:32:20,146
♪ Cry if I want to, cry if I want to… ♪

524
00:32:20,229 --> 00:32:21,814
It went to number one.

525
00:32:22,315 --> 00:32:24,275
We had 18 hits with Lesley.

526
00:32:27,946 --> 00:32:30,573
It was hard
being married to Quincy, you know.

527
00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:32,700
There was so much infidelity

528
00:32:33,076 --> 00:32:37,163
and he had so much ambition,
and that got in the way.

529
00:32:37,705 --> 00:32:39,415
And I always felt he loved me,

530
00:32:39,749 --> 00:32:42,126
but I was the wife at home
and he went out,

531
00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:45,338
and he had a lot of good times without me,

532
00:32:45,421 --> 00:32:47,799
and he grew in ways that I wasn't growing.

533
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:51,886
That was why we got divorced.

534
00:32:58,267 --> 00:33:00,228
I had messed that marriage up.

535
00:33:01,646 --> 00:33:03,231
Like my daddy before me,

536
00:33:03,898 --> 00:33:05,108
I focused on work.

537
00:33:17,996 --> 00:33:19,247
Man, let's hang.

538
00:33:19,330 --> 00:33:20,623
- Okay.
- I'm serious, man.

539
00:33:20,707 --> 00:33:22,875
- You serious?
- There ain't many of us left!

540
00:33:23,292 --> 00:33:25,253
- Is there?
- You got it.

541
00:33:29,424 --> 00:33:30,550
Miss ya, man.

542
00:33:30,633 --> 00:33:32,927
Q… How you feelin', boss?

543
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:35,346
- Thank you for the other night, man.
- Oh, any time.

544
00:33:35,430 --> 00:33:36,431
- It was great.
- Any time.

545
00:33:36,514 --> 00:33:37,849
- Hey, baby.
- Hey.

546
00:33:38,558 --> 00:33:40,268
- How old are you now?
- Eighty-nine!

547
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:41,561
I'm right behind you.

548
00:33:41,644 --> 00:33:42,687
How are you, sweetheart?

549
00:33:42,770 --> 00:33:44,272
- I'm really good.
- You're burning, girl!

550
00:33:44,731 --> 00:33:46,566
- Hey, baby.
- Hey, man.

551
00:33:48,735 --> 00:33:50,903
These cats been dropping
out of here like flies, man.

552
00:33:50,987 --> 00:33:51,863
I don't like it.

553
00:33:51,946 --> 00:33:54,323
Jesus Christ, man, we lost Louis Johnson,

554
00:33:55,074 --> 00:33:56,784
Lesley Gore, Clark Terry.

555
00:33:56,868 --> 00:33:57,869
It don't stop.

556
00:33:57,952 --> 00:34:01,581
George Duke, Joe Sample.
It's fuckin' insane, man.

557
00:34:02,623 --> 00:34:03,499
Insane.

558
00:34:04,584 --> 00:34:07,420
Tonight, we are gathered together
to honor…

559
00:34:08,296 --> 00:34:12,050
and pay tribute to my dear, dear friend

560
00:34:12,133 --> 00:34:16,012
and present him
with this year's humanitarian award.

561
00:34:17,096 --> 00:34:19,057
God bless all of you people
for being here tonight.

562
00:34:19,140 --> 00:34:21,184
You have no idea
what you've done to this…

563
00:34:21,267 --> 00:34:23,227
to make this soul smile tonight.

564
00:34:23,311 --> 00:34:25,480
It's just unbelievable and it's, uh…

565
00:34:25,730 --> 00:34:27,732
I'm only 82, you know, so…

566
00:34:31,986 --> 00:34:35,990
I was very ill
at the beginning of this year… and…

567
00:34:36,574 --> 00:34:41,120
they… say that cliché, you know,
"I almost died."

568
00:34:41,204 --> 00:34:42,038
Well, I did.

569
00:34:42,580 --> 00:34:44,165
And then I got a…

570
00:34:44,624 --> 00:34:46,084
email from heaven,

571
00:34:46,167 --> 00:34:47,752
and it said, "Brother Jones,

572
00:34:48,044 --> 00:34:52,381
we already got Ray Charles,
Frank Sinatra, Charlie Parker,

573
00:34:52,465 --> 00:34:54,842
Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, and stuff.

574
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
We don't need any more headaches
up here, man.

575
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,931
Stay home.
Keep your black booty home."

576
00:35:06,395 --> 00:35:09,774
I was sitting in my office
one day in New York in '64

577
00:35:09,857 --> 00:35:11,067
and the phone rang.

578
00:35:11,818 --> 00:35:12,860
I picked it up.

579
00:35:12,944 --> 00:35:15,988
I heard him say, "This is Frank Sinatra.

580
00:35:16,656 --> 00:35:18,699
I like what you and Basie did together

581
00:35:18,783 --> 00:35:21,828
and I'd like you to arrange and conduct
my next album,

582
00:35:21,953 --> 00:35:23,579
It Might As Well Be Swing.

583
00:35:24,956 --> 00:35:29,168
That call from Frank was a major
turning point in my career and my life.

584
00:35:30,586 --> 00:35:32,130
He tested me in the beginning.

585
00:35:32,588 --> 00:35:35,049
And he said,
"That instrumentation's a little too…

586
00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:37,593
dense in the first eight bars."

587
00:35:38,177 --> 00:35:39,512
I said, "No problem, man."

588
00:35:40,930 --> 00:35:44,350
Well, he'd go ten feet away
where there was a table or a desk,

589
00:35:44,433 --> 00:35:46,310
and he'd fix it in no time.

590
00:35:46,394 --> 00:35:49,147
It always amazed me
that a man could do that,

591
00:35:49,230 --> 00:35:51,858
change all of those notes
that he had written before.

592
00:35:52,942 --> 00:35:55,361
He was shocked,
'cause I was 29, right?

593
00:35:55,444 --> 00:35:57,530
He was used to working with guys
that were 50.

594
00:35:58,114 --> 00:36:00,283
After that, it was total trust, man.

595
00:36:00,950 --> 00:36:01,868
Total trust.

596
00:36:02,368 --> 00:36:04,453
I would like to have you meet a gentleman

597
00:36:04,537 --> 00:36:06,747
who's been doing
these marvelous orchestrations for me,

598
00:36:06,831 --> 00:36:09,000
Mr. Quincy Jones, right there.

599
00:36:10,001 --> 00:36:11,669
Q, Mr. Quincy Jones.

600
00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:13,296
Thank you.

601
00:36:16,632 --> 00:36:19,218
One of the bright young stars
in the orchestrating business.

602
00:36:19,302 --> 00:36:20,136
Q, go ahead.

603
00:36:29,020 --> 00:36:30,730
Frank was just my style.

604
00:36:31,355 --> 00:36:33,733
He was hip, straight-up
and straight-ahead,

605
00:36:33,816 --> 00:36:36,444
and above all, a monster musician.

606

607
00:36:40,364 --> 00:36:42,867
♪ Let me swing among the stars… ♪

608
00:36:43,659 --> 00:36:46,245
Quincy's drive
is what made the difference

609
00:36:46,329 --> 00:36:48,414
in the recordings that I began to do.

610
00:36:49,707 --> 00:36:54,086
The orchestra drove harder
than they did before the days with Quincy.

611
00:36:55,671 --> 00:36:58,007
Frank was at the height
of his powers

612
00:36:58,382 --> 00:37:00,843
and I was running his musical ship,

613
00:37:01,385 --> 00:37:02,970
the greatest band in the world.

forgetting about all the work
we had to do.

618
00:37:22,865 --> 00:37:25,201
Frank led me
into a brand new world…

619
00:37:26,452 --> 00:37:28,704
…a land of dreams and high living,

620
00:37:28,788 --> 00:37:32,291
anything you felt like doing,
whenever you felt like doing it.

621
00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:35,586
And making the music we both loved.

♪ Why don't you fill my heart… ♪

623
00:37:40,299 --> 00:37:44,428
During this time, I was
with some of the finest women in the world

624
00:37:45,096 --> 00:37:47,515
and had a brief affair
with a dancer named Carol.

625
00:37:47,932 --> 00:37:51,102
My second lovely daughter, Rachel,
was born as a result.

626
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,605
It was a mind-boggling time.

627
00:37:55,856 --> 00:37:59,735
The astronauts on Apollo 10 took
a little tape recorder along with them

628
00:37:59,819 --> 00:38:04,699
and they played that tune back to Earth
from about 150,000 miles in space.

629
00:38:04,782 --> 00:38:08,661
This is just so that you guys
don't forget what your job is down there.

630
00:38:08,744 --> 00:38:09,662
We're ready.

631
00:38:10,204 --> 00:38:14,792
♪ Fly me to the moon ♪
♪ Let me play among the stars… ♪

632
00:38:14,875 --> 00:38:18,087
Frank called up when they played
that music on the moon, like a little kid.

633
00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:21,549
"Can you believe that, man?" I said,
"No, man, the first music on the moon?

634
00:38:21,632 --> 00:38:23,843
Give me a break, man."
You can't plan that!

635
00:38:26,846 --> 00:38:29,348
Frank was so buzzed about Basie's band

636
00:38:29,432 --> 00:38:33,311
that he took the entire band
to Las Vegas in 1964.

637
00:38:35,271 --> 00:38:37,606
Vegas was mob territory back then.

638
00:38:37,690 --> 00:38:39,942
No black entertainer in their right mind

639
00:38:40,026 --> 00:38:42,236
would wander around
those casino hotels alone.

640
00:38:42,945 --> 00:38:45,823
It was a trip 'cause Sammy Davis,

641
00:38:45,906 --> 00:38:47,908
or Lena Horne, Belafonte,

642
00:38:47,992 --> 00:38:50,745
they used to work in the big room
as the stars,

643
00:38:50,828 --> 00:38:52,913
but they had to eat in the kitchen.

644
00:38:52,997 --> 00:38:54,498
They couldn't go in the casino

645
00:38:54,623 --> 00:38:57,293
and they had to sleep
in the black hotels across town.

646
00:38:58,502 --> 00:39:01,839
Bigotry is a terrible disease,
it's a very bad disease.

647
00:39:03,215 --> 00:39:05,092
I began to make noise about it.

648
00:39:06,093 --> 00:39:08,387
I said, "If they all have to live
on the other side of town,

649
00:39:08,471 --> 00:39:09,680
then you don't need me."

650
00:39:10,681 --> 00:39:14,560
Suddenly, it changed.
And I can't explain to you what happened.

651
00:39:16,020 --> 00:39:18,230
Frank, by himself,
stopped all that.

652
00:39:18,773 --> 00:39:20,649
He said, "We're gonna fix this shit."

653
00:39:21,317 --> 00:39:22,234
And he did.

654
00:39:23,110 --> 00:39:27,239
He took Sammy, Basie, and myself
and changed the whole racial situation.

Quincy had a key to the Basie band…

662
00:39:51,555 --> 00:39:54,183
more than any other orchestrator
that IÂ know of.

663
00:39:58,938 --> 00:40:01,065
And I began to realize
that he was a giant.

I know he loved me too.

667
00:40:09,740 --> 00:40:11,492
In all the years working together,

668
00:40:11,575 --> 00:40:12,993
just like with Ray Charles,

669
00:40:13,077 --> 00:40:16,372
we never once had a contract…
just a handshake.

670
00:40:18,999 --> 00:40:20,835
Quincy turned out to be…

671
00:40:21,335 --> 00:40:23,754
one of the finest musicians
that I've ever known.

672
00:40:28,008 --> 00:40:31,345
After my time with Frank,
I wanted to move out of New York

673
00:40:31,429 --> 00:40:33,264
and get into LA film scoring.

674
00:40:34,348 --> 00:40:37,643
I didn't see blacks' names on the screens,
you know, as composers.

675
00:40:37,977 --> 00:40:40,062
There weren't any black composers at all.

676
00:40:41,439 --> 00:40:43,232
So I just took that chance.

677
00:40:43,315 --> 00:40:46,152
I said, "I don't know, maybe I won't
make it out there, but I'm goin'."

678
00:40:47,111 --> 00:40:48,863
A friend of mine was doing a movie,

679
00:40:49,405 --> 00:40:53,075
and he said, "They're thinking
about Quincy Jones for a movie."

680
00:40:53,826 --> 00:40:55,453
I said, "Yes, great, great."

681
00:40:55,536 --> 00:40:59,373
He said, "Can black men
write movie music?"

682
00:40:59,832 --> 00:41:02,418
I said, "Of course they can!"

683
00:41:04,128 --> 00:41:08,674
There was a lot of reluctance…
"How can you write for a white star?"

684
00:41:10,342 --> 00:41:13,471
I thought that it was just a dream
that I'd have to hold on to.

685
00:41:19,852 --> 00:41:22,771
First of all,
thank you very much for being…

686
00:41:22,855 --> 00:41:24,648
- My pleasure, man.
- It's an honor.

687
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:26,484
I've been with The Post for a long time.

688
00:41:27,067 --> 00:41:30,070
Why do you think it's taken so long
to get this thing done?

689
00:41:30,196 --> 00:41:33,115
'Cause I read that it was like 1905
when they started talking about it.

690
00:41:33,199 --> 00:41:35,701
But it's taken a long time
to keep them from shootin' black kids.

691
00:41:35,784 --> 00:41:38,787
This happens…
Probably last night it happened. Come on.

692
00:41:38,871 --> 00:41:42,374
'Cause the racism has been
buried and hidden, you know.

693
00:41:42,458 --> 00:41:45,377
In the South, it's open, you know
who you're dealing with, but in the North,

694
00:41:45,461 --> 00:41:48,380
it's disguised with all the bullshit,
you know.

695
00:41:48,464 --> 00:41:50,007
- Yeah.
- And that's the problem.

696
00:41:50,090 --> 00:41:52,134
So, this museum…
There are millions of museums here

697
00:41:52,218 --> 00:41:54,345
but why is that museum
so important right now?

698
00:41:54,428 --> 00:41:57,765
Well, young black kids need to know
where they come from.

699
00:41:58,641 --> 00:42:02,728
Bebop, doo-wop, and hip hop, and all
that stuff is all sociological, you know.

700
00:42:02,811 --> 00:42:07,691
Hopefully, the juice that we generate
about the museum is gonna help.

701
00:42:07,775 --> 00:42:10,444
- Yeah.
- They say, "Hey, you gotta be part of this

702
00:42:10,528 --> 00:42:12,196
for the young kids of tomorrow."

703
00:42:12,279 --> 00:42:14,323
- Yeah.
- That's what's important for me.

704
00:42:14,406 --> 00:42:15,824
- What…
- 'Cause it's big, man.

705
00:42:16,242 --> 00:42:18,619
It's something
I've wanted all my life to see.

706
00:42:18,702 --> 00:42:20,788
Can you tell me a little bit
about what's gonna happen?

707
00:42:20,871 --> 00:42:22,581
- No.
- No? It's a total secret?

708
00:42:22,665 --> 00:42:24,041
- Nothing.
- Under wraps?

709
00:42:24,124 --> 00:42:25,417
- Nothing.
- Okay.

710
00:42:25,501 --> 00:42:27,336
It's not a surprise if I tell you.

711
00:42:28,003 --> 00:42:31,173
So I don't get anything,
no Stevie Wonder there or anything?

712
00:42:44,728 --> 00:42:46,730
- Tack så mycket.
- Varsågod.

713
00:42:47,356 --> 00:42:49,358
Lookin' good.

714
00:42:51,986 --> 00:42:54,071
♪ Brother, brother, brother… ♪

715
00:42:57,575 --> 00:42:58,951
And do it to the camera, yeah.

716
00:43:01,328 --> 00:43:03,914
Can I take one more?
Sitting, exactly like that.

717
00:43:03,998 --> 00:43:04,832
Yeah.

718
00:43:11,755 --> 00:43:14,383
- I'm fine, I'm happy.
- You cool? Good.

719
00:43:14,925 --> 00:43:16,343
I'm tired, man, I'm sorry.

720
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,763
- It's an honor, thank you so much.
- My pleasure. Tack så mycket.

721
00:43:27,855 --> 00:43:28,689
Hmm?

722
00:45:11,083 --> 00:45:14,086
When composers
get started on a film,

723
00:45:14,420 --> 00:45:18,549
I think they spend the roughest parts
of it scraping away…

724
00:45:19,550 --> 00:45:21,885
the bullshit, you know, in their life.

725
00:45:23,679 --> 00:45:26,515
They have to really scrape away
so there's nothing left but truth.

726
00:45:29,852 --> 00:45:32,479
Because I don't think you can write,
can't create anything without…

727
00:45:32,563 --> 00:45:34,022
feeling right with the truth.

728
00:45:41,238 --> 00:45:44,658
You have to find something
to grab a hold of to believe in,

729
00:45:44,742 --> 00:45:45,701
or you can't write.

730
00:45:50,122 --> 00:45:54,293
I can't say, "This'll be good enough,"
or your senses won't react.

731
00:45:58,130 --> 00:46:01,800
You make a desperate escape
to get down into the subconscious,

732
00:46:01,884 --> 00:46:03,719
which I really think
all the goodies come from.

733
00:46:52,309 --> 00:46:56,063
After you finish the quiet moments
of writing,

734
00:46:57,231 --> 00:47:00,359
I just like to groove with my family then,
and enjoy all of it.

735
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,413
My wife, Ulla,
she's from Stockholm originally,

736
00:47:13,705 --> 00:47:17,918
and we have two kids that I just can't
stay away from for two minutes.

737
00:47:26,426 --> 00:47:28,303
My biggest hobby is my family.

738
00:47:28,387 --> 00:47:31,807
It's a complete contrast
to when we go in to record.

739
00:47:33,100 --> 00:47:35,602
- Ready with the playback, Quincy.
- Thank you.

740
00:47:35,978 --> 00:47:37,813
It's such a moment of tension

741
00:47:37,896 --> 00:47:40,232
when you're trying to coordinate
so many elements…

742
00:47:40,315 --> 00:47:43,402
when we're involved with technicians,
lots of musicians and…

743
00:47:43,986 --> 00:47:45,904
lots of money being spent per hour,

744
00:47:45,988 --> 00:47:47,573
and so the pace tightens up.

745
00:47:47,656 --> 00:47:48,991
Three and four, a 56.

746
00:47:49,074 --> 00:47:51,201
Everything has to come into play
at that time.

747
00:48:12,556 --> 00:48:13,891
It's just beginning to become

748
00:48:13,974 --> 00:48:16,476
so that it isn't such a sensationalism

749
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:20,188
to see interracial love relationships
or even, uh…

750
00:48:20,606 --> 00:48:24,526
uh, the role of where the black man
really plays the role of a man,

751
00:48:24,610 --> 00:48:25,903
rather than just a character.

752
00:48:33,493 --> 00:48:35,871
But as my career
began to move forward…

753
00:48:36,622 --> 00:48:39,875
my relationship with Ulla
was starting to show cracks.

754
00:48:42,377 --> 00:48:44,671
I never came close
to being a perfect father.

755
00:48:45,631 --> 00:48:48,967
But I always, always loved my kids deeply.

756
00:48:51,803 --> 00:48:55,307
One day, Ulla announced she was
going to visit her mother in Sweden.

757
00:48:56,642 --> 00:48:59,895
I didn't want her to take the kids along
but there was no arguing.

758
00:49:02,064 --> 00:49:04,358
A week later, Ulla called from Sweden

759
00:49:04,441 --> 00:49:08,111
and adamantly proclaimed
that she was not coming back, period.

760
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,531
She was staying there
and keeping the kids.

761
00:49:13,825 --> 00:49:15,869
My heart fell to my feet.

762
00:49:20,499 --> 00:49:21,667
I couldn't handle it.

763
00:49:32,636 --> 00:49:34,262
- What time do we start?
- Now, sir.

764
00:49:35,013 --> 00:49:36,056
Let's hit it.

765
00:49:37,599 --> 00:49:40,143
- Hur mår du pappa?
- Skit bra.

766
00:49:43,313 --> 00:49:45,607
So, you have an incredible work ethic,

767
00:49:45,691 --> 00:49:47,567
and, I mean, I've never seen
anything like it.

768
00:49:47,651 --> 00:49:49,611
I mean, at no point in my life

769
00:49:49,695 --> 00:49:52,489
have I ever been able
to hang with you 24/7 and I can keep up.

770
00:49:52,572 --> 00:49:54,074
It's… it's crazy.

771
00:49:54,533 --> 00:49:56,785
Where did that come from?
And what is in your water?

772
00:49:56,868 --> 00:49:58,829
It's probably from not having a mother.

773
00:49:59,371 --> 00:50:00,789
You know, really, yeah.

774
00:50:00,872 --> 00:50:05,293
At seven, we were, like, deserted.
They took her away to this mental home.

775
00:50:05,377 --> 00:50:09,006
And my grandmother
was an ex-slave, you know.

776
00:50:09,089 --> 00:50:12,718
America's just trying to get over
that… that part of their history

777
00:50:12,801 --> 00:50:16,763
'cause it was terrible, terrible, man,
and we experienced it, you know.

778
00:50:16,847 --> 00:50:19,141
Ray Charles and I used to say,
back in the '40s,

779
00:50:19,224 --> 00:50:23,270
"Not one drop of my self-worth
depends on your acceptance of me."

780
00:50:23,770 --> 00:50:25,564
Because you can't be that vulnerable.

781
00:50:25,647 --> 00:50:29,735
Not back then, the '30s and '40s.
The '50s, man?! You kidding?

782
00:50:36,825 --> 00:50:38,368
Oh, hey, look at this, man!

783
00:50:38,452 --> 00:50:39,786
You know I love that.

784
00:50:40,328 --> 00:50:41,288
Mm-hm.

785
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,500
Jesus Christ, I'll take it.

786
00:50:48,962 --> 00:50:50,213
They're killing me!

787
00:50:50,297 --> 00:50:52,424
Sometimes I step in too deep.
Like, look at that.

788
00:50:53,425 --> 00:50:57,012
We go to Georgia,
the Black Sea Festival in Georgia, Russia.

789
00:50:57,512 --> 00:50:58,638
Then we go to Zurich.

790
00:50:58,722 --> 00:50:59,598
Then…

791
00:50:59,890 --> 00:51:02,392
the big one, the Smithsonian.

792
00:51:02,476 --> 00:51:05,479
We produce the Smithsonian,
African-American Museum.

793
00:51:05,562 --> 00:51:09,274
Obama, uh, he cuts the ribbon at noon.

794
00:51:09,357 --> 00:51:11,401
And we come back at night
and do a two-hour special

795
00:51:11,485 --> 00:51:13,737
that's got the whole history, almost,
of black music.

796
00:51:13,820 --> 00:51:15,614
- Wow.
- It's a hard job.

797
00:51:15,697 --> 00:51:19,284
But I mean, my whole life has
been like that, though. I like that.

798
00:51:24,122 --> 00:51:26,750
Look at that architecture. God damn, baby!

799
00:51:34,966 --> 00:51:36,593
Hey!

800
00:51:39,262 --> 00:51:44,101
I want you to give it up
for Alfredo Rodriguez. Alfredo!

801
00:51:54,611 --> 00:51:57,322
Is there a commonality
between these artists you worked with?

802
00:51:57,405 --> 00:51:59,533
Yes. Individuality,

803
00:51:59,616 --> 00:52:01,993
distinctive personalities,

804
00:52:02,410 --> 00:52:03,245
and sounds.

805
00:52:03,662 --> 00:52:06,164
Ray Charles, Count Basie, Clark Terry,

806
00:52:06,248 --> 00:52:08,458
they put me on their shoulders,
so it's an honor for me

807
00:52:08,542 --> 00:52:11,294
to put the young people on my shoulders.
It is an honor.

808
00:52:15,257 --> 00:52:17,134
How you doing, man? You doing okay?

809
00:52:39,364 --> 00:52:40,323
Welcome.

810
00:52:40,407 --> 00:52:41,408
Hur mar du.

811
00:52:41,491 --> 00:52:42,909
First time here in the office?

812
00:52:42,993 --> 00:52:44,161
- In the office, yeah.
- Yeah.

813
00:52:44,244 --> 00:52:45,954
- Sweden, 63 years.
- Yeah, I know it.

814
00:52:46,037 --> 00:52:46,872
Oh, man.

815
00:52:47,914 --> 00:52:49,624
You going to save the record business?

816
00:52:49,708 --> 00:52:52,627
- Hopefully, that's what we hope for.
- It needs some saving.

817
00:52:55,881 --> 00:52:58,967
Justin Kauflin, come on. Give it up.

818
00:53:05,140 --> 00:53:07,434
- It's good to see you.
- You guys are bad motherfuckers, man.

819
00:53:07,517 --> 00:53:10,270
- Oh, boy.
- You are the future, brother.

820
00:53:15,108 --> 00:53:20,155
That is the power of music,
to bring the people of the world together.

821
00:53:31,458 --> 00:53:33,543
Look at these cars, man. Look at this.

822
00:53:34,127 --> 00:53:36,171
That's just Chicago in the '30s, man.

823
00:53:37,255 --> 00:53:38,506
Mr. Quincy Jones!

824
00:53:41,551 --> 00:53:45,055
I came up in that school of, like,
all kind, every kind of music.

825
00:53:45,138 --> 00:53:47,057
There's just two kinds, bad and good.

826
00:53:51,144 --> 00:53:55,899
I just got back from, uh, Hong Kong
and Abu Dhabi and Dubai,

827
00:53:55,982 --> 00:54:00,237
so I'm a little turned around here,
so bear along with me, okay?

828
00:54:01,738 --> 00:54:02,572
Uh…

829
00:54:03,907 --> 00:54:04,824
Tonight…

830
00:54:05,784 --> 00:54:07,077
is a powerful foray…

831
00:54:08,036 --> 00:54:09,579
into… Jesus!

832
00:54:11,915 --> 00:54:13,416
I'm falling down here.

833
00:54:14,376 --> 00:54:15,252
Glenn!

834
00:54:20,382 --> 00:54:21,383
Jesus Christ.

835
00:54:22,342 --> 00:54:23,301
Glenn!

836
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:43,822
How's your pain right now?

837
00:54:43,947 --> 00:54:46,032
- I don't have any.
- No pain? Good.

838
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:47,826
Okay, very good. Okay.

839
00:54:50,453 --> 00:54:53,707
Dad, did they tell you that
there's any way to prevent blood clots?

840
00:54:53,790 --> 00:54:55,041
- Did they tell you?
- No.

841
00:54:55,125 --> 00:54:56,459
Exercise.

842
00:54:56,543 --> 00:54:58,878
- Exercise, compression socks.
- Yeah, not sedentary.

843
00:54:58,962 --> 00:55:00,255
- Yeah.
- Sedentary.

844
00:55:00,338 --> 00:55:01,548
- Yeah.
- What socks?

845
00:55:01,631 --> 00:55:04,301
- Compression socks.
- Yes, I know… about that.

846
00:55:05,802 --> 00:55:08,638
Did they say it was
from, yeah, traveling, Dad?

847
00:55:09,055 --> 00:55:11,516
Traveling is worse if you don't exercise.

848
00:55:13,101 --> 00:55:14,728
He's traveling too much.

849
00:55:18,815 --> 00:55:21,818

real quick? Just take a second.

850
00:55:27,699 --> 00:55:29,909
You had kind of a close call, you know?

851
00:55:29,993 --> 00:55:32,329
If you've got a big clot like that
that sneaks up through,

852
00:55:32,412 --> 00:55:34,581
it's a clot this long,
I mean, that can be sudden death.

853
00:55:34,664 --> 00:55:35,623
Oh, man.

854
00:55:35,707 --> 00:55:36,875
You got any travel coming up?

855
00:55:36,958 --> 00:55:39,961
I was supposed to go to Washington,
I was supposed to go to Europe.

856
00:55:40,045 --> 00:55:41,463
You gotta be careful, I think,

857
00:55:41,546 --> 00:55:44,090
especially the first few weeks
after something like this, you know.

858
00:55:44,174 --> 00:55:45,759
I want to start exercising too.

859
00:55:46,134 --> 00:55:49,596
I honestly, I thought, 90 percent chance
you come out in a wheelchair.

860
00:55:49,679 --> 00:55:52,349
- Really? No way.
- I… That got me very excited.

861
00:55:52,432 --> 00:55:55,352
- I'm glad to hear that.

She was a beautiful star

He was working himself like crazy.

889
00:57:57,515 --> 00:58:01,311
He was so determined to take himself
out of only a jazz musician,

890
00:58:01,394 --> 00:58:03,980
to take himself
out of only a movie composer,

891
00:58:04,063 --> 00:58:05,773
and to go the next step with that.

892
00:58:07,150 --> 00:58:09,736
Duke Ellington said,
"I want you to be one of the people

893
00:58:09,819 --> 00:58:12,071
that help to de-categorize
American music."

894
00:58:12,447 --> 00:58:14,115
He passed the baton down.

895
00:58:18,536 --> 00:58:22,665
In order for music to grow,
the critics must stop categorizing

896
00:58:23,124 --> 00:58:25,126
and let the musicians get involved

897
00:58:25,210 --> 00:58:27,253
in all different facets of music.

898
00:58:27,337 --> 00:58:31,382

Tonight, the Academy Awards orchestra

will be conducted by three-time
Oscar nominee Quincy Jones!

901
00:59:20,557 --> 00:59:22,767
One day he just, um…

902
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:24,477
collapsed.

903
00:59:27,146 --> 00:59:29,399
And I called 9-1-1 right away.

904
00:59:31,734 --> 00:59:35,113
When we took him to the hospital,
he… he wasn't conscious.

905
00:59:50,420 --> 00:59:54,757
And I was just, like,
how could one moment be so perfect

906
00:59:54,841 --> 00:59:57,468
and the next moment
your whole life is falling apart.

907
00:59:59,637 --> 01:00:02,599
It was like a cannon
had blasted through my head.

908
01:00:04,017 --> 01:00:07,437
What happens is the main vessel
to your brain… pops.

909
01:00:07,812 --> 01:00:09,897
They operated for seven and a half hours.

910
01:00:11,733 --> 01:00:15,528
At the end of the operation,
my neurosurgeons came in and said,

911
01:00:15,612 --> 01:00:17,572
"The good news is you lived.

912
01:00:17,947 --> 01:00:21,200
The bad news is
we found another one on the other side

913
01:00:21,284 --> 01:00:23,494
that could be ready to explode
at any minute.

914
01:00:24,037 --> 01:00:26,706
In two months,
we have to go back in again."

915
01:00:28,416 --> 01:00:32,378
The first thing that you think about
are all the things that were, like,

916
01:00:32,462 --> 01:00:34,464
things I'm going to get around to.

917
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:37,967
Like my daughter hadn't called me "Daddy".

918
01:00:38,509 --> 01:00:40,345
And all of the things that I hadn't done,

919
01:00:40,428 --> 01:00:43,473
all these crazy, wild things
in your imagination

920
01:00:43,556 --> 01:00:45,183
that you hadn't even started on.

921
01:00:47,644 --> 01:00:49,812
It's nature's way
of getting your attention.

922
01:00:51,064 --> 01:00:55,151
You know, to make you live your life,
you know, really live it and… and…

923
01:00:56,110 --> 01:00:58,905
dig down for the values
that really mean something.

926
01:01:09,957 --> 01:01:11,209

935
01:01:57,130 --> 01:01:59,340
I asked the doctor afterwards,
"What is that…

936
01:01:59,424 --> 01:02:02,593
What was going on at that time?"
And he said, "You were dying, you know."

937
01:02:04,011 --> 01:02:07,557
I had to try to rehabilitate, you know,
go through therapy to be able to write

938
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:11,185
because it's frightening to see, you know,
those big jagged edges,

939
01:02:11,269 --> 01:02:12,729
when you're trying to write again.

940
01:02:13,187 --> 01:02:14,480

941
01:02:15,314 --> 01:02:16,232
memory.

942
01:02:16,774 --> 01:02:18,192
So that's scary, that's frightening.

943
01:02:18,276 --> 01:02:20,570
I mean, people real close to you,
it just disappears.

944
01:02:22,029 --> 01:02:23,865
What's important to you now?

945
01:02:25,032 --> 01:02:26,784
Uh, contributing something…

946
01:02:27,410 --> 01:02:30,079
that you don't really get anything
in return for.

947
01:02:37,837 --> 01:02:39,088
We were grateful.

948
01:02:39,756 --> 01:02:41,632
We were grateful for a lot of things.

949
01:02:42,258 --> 01:02:45,261
And, uh, people were just amazed
at his recovery.

950
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,263
And then we had another baby.

951
01:02:53,519 --> 01:02:57,273
Happy anniversary to us.
Happy anniversary to us.

952
01:02:58,357 --> 01:02:59,233

You can't put that off, you know.
It's not…

956
01:03:10,661 --> 01:03:14,624

rather than "I wish I had," you know?

01:03:47,907 --> 01:03:48,741
Wow.

968
01:03:49,116 --> 01:03:50,993
I haven't seen this in 50 years.

995
01:05:02,940 --> 01:05:04,567
"This is filled with lies."

996
01:05:04,650 --> 01:05:05,610
Who said that?

997
01:05:07,278 --> 01:05:09,196
I have no idea, what is that?

998
01:05:10,740 --> 01:05:13,993
"Everybody spoke well of you
until you scandalized your mother."

999
01:05:14,243 --> 01:05:16,162
This looks like your mother's writing.

1000
01:05:16,245 --> 01:05:17,413
- I know.
- Typewriter.

1001
01:05:17,496 --> 01:05:21,042
"That is what happens when you listen
to evil communications." That's her.

1002
01:05:21,751 --> 01:05:24,211
My mother, she was mad
when she read this article.

1003
01:05:25,671 --> 01:05:27,173
I never saw this stuff before.

1004
01:05:29,383 --> 01:05:31,844
"The cake is what made you
lose all of your teeth.

1005
01:05:32,261 --> 01:05:36,390
I insisted on good food. Even so, that's
when I tossed the cake in a garbage can."

1006
01:05:37,224 --> 01:05:38,184
Oh, God.

1007
01:05:40,728 --> 01:05:41,771
That's sad.

1008
01:06:01,999 --> 01:06:04,794
Quincy's mother, Sarah,
was there as a shadow.

1009
01:06:06,420 --> 01:06:07,964
As a shadow of…

1010
01:06:09,340 --> 01:06:10,591
who he could become.

1011
01:06:12,468 --> 01:06:16,806
He worried that maybe he had
that mental illness like her.

1012
01:06:18,516 --> 01:06:20,726
She would come back into our lives
through…

1013
01:06:21,352 --> 01:06:23,104
you know, wanting to see
the grandchildren.

1014
01:06:24,313 --> 01:06:28,275
Quincy just would go
into a full cold sweat around her.

1015
01:06:29,443 --> 01:06:32,863
She pushed his buttons in a way
that we could never understand.

1016
01:06:34,740 --> 01:06:38,744
Of the word mother, you know,
it doesn't mean too much to me.

1017
01:06:39,829 --> 01:06:41,539
I don't know what it is, you know.

1018
01:06:42,957 --> 01:06:45,001
I guess trauma gets frozen at the peak.

1019
01:06:46,419 --> 01:06:49,088
It was really seriously damaging.

1020
01:06:50,214 --> 01:06:54,093
I'm sure that affected my relationship
with a lot of women later, you know.

1021
01:06:56,012 --> 01:07:00,933
They're feelings that I'm…
to this day, I'm still wrestling with.

1022
01:07:06,522 --> 01:07:08,232
Isn't it astounding, man,

1023
01:07:08,315 --> 01:07:12,945
when you look at the reality
of us having the same twelve notes

1024
01:07:13,029 --> 01:07:15,197
for 710 years.

1025
01:07:15,573 --> 01:07:16,866
- Everybody.
- Amazing, right?

1026
01:07:16,949 --> 01:07:19,785
Brahms, Beethoven, Basie,
Bo Diddley, Bird.

1027
01:07:20,119 --> 01:07:22,288
The same fucking 12 notes.

1028
01:07:23,039 --> 01:07:24,248
It's heavy, man. Isn't it?

1029
01:07:24,331 --> 01:07:26,333
- That's really heavy, right?
- It is heavy, man!

1030
01:07:26,417 --> 01:07:28,502
Seven hundred and ten years!

1031
01:07:28,961 --> 01:07:30,796
- That… that is quite amazing.
- Shit!

1032
01:07:38,387 --> 01:07:40,723
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- And then something to do like this one.

1033
01:07:45,561 --> 01:07:47,271
Where's that B, where's that B?

1034
01:07:50,024 --> 01:07:51,400
Do it again, like this.

1035
01:07:53,235 --> 01:07:54,195
- Uh-huh.
- Like that?

1036
01:08:33,859 --> 01:08:37,238
We're still dealing
with the climactic part of the octaves.

1037
01:08:37,321 --> 01:08:40,324
- Those octaves, you can't follow 'em.
- Mm-hmm.

1038
01:08:40,407 --> 01:08:43,577
I'm just saying, just let them have
a little bit at a time, you know?

1039
01:08:43,702 --> 01:08:44,995
Of course, yeah.

1040
01:08:45,246 --> 01:08:47,540
- What do you think?
- I think it's ready for the painting.

1041
01:08:47,623 --> 01:08:49,291
- Yeah?
- Ready for some paint.

1042
01:08:51,335 --> 01:08:55,172
Richard, the other stuff is very legato
and everything else,

1043
01:08:55,256 --> 01:08:58,634
so let's do the contrast and keep it
so it's a little bit more percussive.

1044
01:08:58,717 --> 01:08:59,552
Okay.

1045
01:09:04,807 --> 01:09:05,641
Yeah!

1046
01:09:10,146 --> 01:09:10,980
Yeah.

1047
01:09:16,318 --> 01:09:17,486
- Yes!
- Whoo!

1048
01:09:17,570 --> 01:09:18,779
I think that he's great.

1049
01:09:19,238 --> 01:09:20,156
He's great, man.

1050
01:09:23,117 --> 01:09:24,827
- It was a good day, man.
- Yeah.

1051
01:09:24,910 --> 01:09:25,744
Good day.

1052
01:09:31,375 --> 01:09:33,586
- No bass?
- We'll do the bass separate.

1053
01:09:33,669 --> 01:09:34,795
- Okay.
- Do the guitar first

1054
01:09:34,879 --> 01:09:36,338
so we can make a decision about it.

1055
01:09:37,173 --> 01:09:39,675
"Light Up The Night", take two!

1056
01:09:48,142 --> 01:09:52,938
My feeling is always leave
at least 20 or 30 percent of room

1057
01:09:53,022 --> 01:09:54,940
for the Lord to walk through the room.

1058
01:09:57,318 --> 01:09:59,737
Because, you know,
then you're leaving room for the magic

1059
01:09:59,820 --> 01:10:02,072
and, uh, records are about

1060
01:10:02,156 --> 01:10:04,742
capturing magic,
real magical moments, you know,

1061
01:10:04,825 --> 01:10:06,911
at that time, and capturing them on tape,
you know.

1062
01:10:06,994 --> 01:10:09,997
I think that's what communicates,
is the magic of the moment.

1063
01:10:15,336 --> 01:10:19,131
And… love is the other word, too.
When the love is in the studio,

1064
01:10:19,215 --> 01:10:21,967
because that contributes more to magic
in the studio than anything else.

1065
01:10:30,601 --> 01:10:33,187
I guess this is the most exciting period
of my life.

1066
01:10:46,408 --> 01:10:49,703
You don't in any way
find it exhausting creatively?

1067
01:10:49,787 --> 01:10:52,373
It's the best thing for me
because it gives me a chance

1068
01:10:52,456 --> 01:10:53,415
to get everything out

1069
01:10:53,499 --> 01:10:57,795
and, uh, get involved with the whole
eclectic world which I love,

1070
01:10:57,878 --> 01:10:59,338
which is black music, period.

1071
01:10:59,421 --> 01:11:03,926
And also film scoring
just taps the right parts of me

1072
01:11:04,009 --> 01:11:05,594
and makes me feel at ease.

1073
01:11:06,011 --> 01:11:09,181
♪ Here is the lively invitation ♪

1074
01:11:09,556 --> 01:11:12,893
I think with The Wiz,
it was the next challenge for Quincy.

1075
01:11:13,644 --> 01:11:16,063
And, of course, he put 110 percent in.

1076
01:11:17,189 --> 01:11:18,774
♪ And light the night ♪

1077
01:11:18,857 --> 01:11:20,943
♪ Come on, girl, we got to glow ♪

1078
01:11:21,026 --> 01:11:23,737
Our whole family moved to New York
to be with him,

1079
01:11:23,821 --> 01:11:26,365
and I took his two other children with me,

1080
01:11:26,448 --> 01:11:29,285
and it was very difficult
'cause he was away every night.

1081
01:11:29,743 --> 01:11:31,662
Okay, we're back
with Michael Jackson,

1082
01:11:31,745 --> 01:11:34,581
and you just coming off The Wiz.

1083
01:11:34,665 --> 01:11:37,459
It was terrific.
It's something I always wanted to do,

1084
01:11:37,543 --> 01:11:40,629
and, uh, it was a lot of fun
working with all the greats…

1085
01:11:40,713 --> 01:11:42,589
Sidney Lumet, Quincy Jones…

1086
01:11:43,632 --> 01:11:45,217
When we were doing The Wiz,

1087
01:11:45,301 --> 01:11:47,720
he asked me about,
could I find him a producer?

1088
01:11:47,803 --> 01:11:52,433
At the time, we were heavily into the film
and so I didn't pay much attention.

1089
01:11:52,516 --> 01:11:55,728
Hey fellas, is today the day
you're gonna help me get down from here?

1090
01:11:56,353 --> 01:11:58,063
What I saw is discipline.

1091
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:00,065
He showed up
at five o'clock in the morning

1092
01:12:00,149 --> 01:12:02,526
for a four-hour makeup job,
and then he stood around.

1093
01:12:02,609 --> 01:12:05,070
He knew everybody's songs,
all of their lines,

1094
01:12:05,154 --> 01:12:08,782
lyrics, dance steps, everything!
He just absorbed everything.

1095
01:12:09,366 --> 01:12:11,452
And I started to see a maturity in him.

1096
01:12:11,535 --> 01:12:14,538
And at that moment, I said,
"You've got a producer, man.

1097
01:12:14,621 --> 01:12:16,206
I'd like to take a shot at it."

1098
01:12:17,750 --> 01:12:19,960
I felt he had the potential
to go way beyond

1099
01:12:20,044 --> 01:12:24,590
the wonderful trademark bubblegum
he'd done on Motown with the Jackson 5.

1100
01:12:26,925 --> 01:12:31,096
When he was ready to record,
I got my "Killer Q" posse together.

1101
01:12:32,139 --> 01:12:33,766
Rod "Worms" Temperton,

1102
01:12:33,849 --> 01:12:36,226
one of the greatest songwriters
who ever lived.

1103
01:12:36,685 --> 01:12:38,562
Bruce "Svensk" Swedien,

1104
01:12:38,645 --> 01:12:40,397
Greg "Mouse" Phillinganes,

1105
01:12:40,481 --> 01:12:42,608
Louis "Thunder Thumbs" Johnson,

1106
01:12:42,691 --> 01:12:44,485
John "J.R." Robinson,

1107
01:12:44,568 --> 01:12:46,278
Paulhino Da Costa,

1108
01:12:46,362 --> 01:12:47,863
Jerry Hay,

1109
01:12:47,946 --> 01:12:49,448
and many, many others.

1110
01:12:50,115 --> 01:12:51,658
We attacked that record.

1111
01:13:00,250 --> 01:13:02,795
We tried all kinds of things
I'd learned over the years

1112
01:13:02,878 --> 01:13:04,880
to help him with his artistic growth.

1113
01:13:05,756 --> 01:13:08,008
Things like dropping keys
just a minor third

1114
01:13:08,092 --> 01:13:10,886
to give him more flexibility
and a more mature range.

1115
01:13:12,179 --> 01:13:15,432
He was so shy, sometimes he'd sit down
and sing behind the couch

1116
01:13:15,516 --> 01:13:16,767
with his back to me.

1117
01:13:17,726 --> 01:13:21,522
Quincy saw that spark in Michael
that would make him a star.

1118
01:13:22,564 --> 01:13:23,857
He definitely saw

1119
01:13:23,941 --> 01:13:27,403
that there was something in Michael
that was needed in the world.

1120
01:13:28,404 --> 01:13:29,988
You have to get something that,

1121
01:13:30,072 --> 01:13:31,782
when we look at the end of a day,

1122
01:13:31,865 --> 01:13:34,868
and I have goosebumps,
and Michael has goosebumps,

1123
01:13:35,244 --> 01:13:36,954
then I think we've got something special,

1124
01:13:37,037 --> 01:13:40,290
'cause we're all very hard to please
and not satisfied too easily.

1125
01:13:41,542 --> 01:13:43,585
The resulting record,
Off the Wall,

1126
01:13:43,669 --> 01:13:46,672
was the biggest-selling black record
in history at that time.

1127
01:13:47,589 --> 01:13:50,592
Quincy Jones is hard
to put in a musical category.

1128
01:13:50,676 --> 01:13:51,844
His most recent production

1129
01:13:51,927 --> 01:13:54,555
of Michael Jackson's hit album
Off The Wall

1130
01:13:54,638 --> 01:13:56,098
was a smash success.

1131
01:13:56,181 --> 01:13:59,226
It sold over eight million copies
and got award upon award.

1132
01:13:59,893 --> 01:14:01,478
Off The Wall, Michael Jackson.

1133
01:14:01,562 --> 01:14:02,646
Michael Jackson.

1134
01:14:02,729 --> 01:14:04,022
Michael Jackson.

1135
01:14:05,732 --> 01:14:06,817
Thank you, Quincy Jones.

1136
01:14:06,900 --> 01:14:09,570
Thank you, my mother and father
and all the beautiful fans

1137
01:14:09,653 --> 01:14:12,364
who bought, you know, the record,
and, uh…

1138
01:14:12,948 --> 01:14:16,410
God, I really appreciate it. I love it.
Thank you very much.

1139
01:14:16,910 --> 01:14:18,996
Well, Quincy
really had to nurture Michael,

1140
01:14:19,079 --> 01:14:22,666
and part of their relationship
was that of a mentor and his protégé.

1141
01:14:23,459 --> 01:14:27,087
But I think Quincy was also
a father figure to him.

The making of Thriller
in a little more than two months

1152
01:15:35,864 --> 01:15:37,282
was like riding a rocket.

1153
01:15:37,366 --> 01:15:39,701
Everything about it
was done at hyperspeed.

1154
01:15:40,786 --> 01:15:44,206
Rod Temperton, who also co-wrote
several of the album's songs, and I

1155
01:15:44,289 --> 01:15:48,377
listened to nearly 600 songs
before picking out a dozen we liked.

1156
01:15:49,503 --> 01:15:51,964
We all worked ourselves
into a near frenzy.

1157
01:15:52,839 --> 01:15:54,132
I called Michael "Smelly"

1158
01:15:54,216 --> 01:15:57,052
because when he liked a piece of music
or a certain beat,

1159
01:15:57,135 --> 01:16:00,264
instead of calling it funky,
he'd call it "smelly jelly".

1160
01:16:01,139 --> 01:16:02,599
- Incredible!
- Yeah?

1161
01:16:02,683 --> 01:16:05,143
- Yeah!
- One more, son, one more.

1162
01:16:05,602 --> 01:16:07,187
Cut! Once more, right away.

1163
01:16:07,271 --> 01:16:08,897
- Here we go!
- Right away.

1164
01:16:08,981 --> 01:16:10,566
And re-cue. Let's go, right away.

1165
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,402
Okay, here we go, ready, and…

1166
01:16:14,027 --> 01:16:18,448
We're working on a… a movie short,
which is like ten minutes,

1167
01:16:18,532 --> 01:16:21,994
for the Thriller album,
the song "Thriller",

1168
01:16:22,786 --> 01:16:25,122
and it's really exciting, what happens.

1169
01:16:25,205 --> 01:16:28,250
Michael, I think this is gonna be
the Citizen Kane of the videos.

1170
01:16:28,333 --> 01:16:29,167
I really do.

1171
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:33,297
It's going to be the most revolutionary
thing in the history of videos, you know.

1172
01:16:34,339 --> 01:16:38,218
The single "Thriller" was
the first 14-minute music video ever made

1173
01:16:38,302 --> 01:16:41,722
and was treated like the premiere
of a feature film around the world.

1174
01:16:47,227 --> 01:16:50,814
Michael was splashed all over the globe
visually as well as musically.

1175
01:16:51,273 --> 01:16:56,028
Michael, the MTV videos, and the music,
all rode each other to glory.

1176
01:16:56,612 --> 01:16:58,780
"Dear Quincy, we are all part
of history in the making."

1177
01:16:59,865 --> 01:17:00,741
All right.

1178
01:17:04,620 --> 01:17:08,915
I don't think anyone would have
known how far it was gonna go.

1179
01:17:13,337 --> 01:17:15,756
Several people in the crowd
of 5,000 fainted.

1180
01:17:15,839 --> 01:17:17,466
Police struggled to maintain order.

1181
01:17:17,549 --> 01:17:20,927
One fan said, "I thought I was
going to get killed, but it was worth it."

1182
01:17:44,868 --> 01:17:47,996
Michael!

1183
01:17:50,248 --> 01:17:53,502
And producer of the year is…
Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson!

1184
01:17:53,585 --> 01:17:54,419
Yes!

1185
01:17:58,298 --> 01:18:00,801
We'd like to thank the people
that make this work.

1186
01:18:01,343 --> 01:18:02,260
My wife…

1187
01:18:02,886 --> 01:18:07,140
who chose to take care of me
rather than pursue her own career…

1188
01:18:07,724 --> 01:18:09,309
and our family, and I love her.

1189
01:18:10,435 --> 01:18:12,604
And Michael Jackson…

1190
01:18:12,688 --> 01:18:15,107
I think one of the greatest entertainers
of the 20th century.

1191
01:18:15,190 --> 01:18:16,692
I mean that from all my heart.

1192
01:18:38,714 --> 01:18:40,632
Beautiful, beautiful.

1193
01:18:41,508 --> 01:18:43,677
Great… great bass sound
on the synths, man.

1194
01:18:44,052 --> 01:18:44,970
Love it.

1195
01:18:45,053 --> 01:18:46,388
One of my favorite sounds.

1196
01:18:49,641 --> 01:18:51,935
One, two, three.

1197
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:54,813
If I don't see you before,

1198
01:18:54,896 --> 01:18:56,148
- have a great holidays.
- You too.

1199
01:18:56,231 --> 01:18:59,067
- I'll send you some shots, love you.
- I love you back.

1200
01:19:01,403 --> 01:19:02,988
Hmm. Quite a history!

1201
01:19:11,329 --> 01:19:13,331
- Hi!
- How are you, sweetheart?

1202
01:19:13,415 --> 01:19:16,168
- Oh, good to see you, you look great.
- You too, honey.

1203
01:19:16,251 --> 01:19:17,961
You've been doing other exercise, too?

1204
01:19:18,044 --> 01:19:19,880
No, I haven't done exercise
in six months.

1205
01:19:19,963 --> 01:19:20,797
Oh, wow.

1206
01:19:20,881 --> 01:19:22,924
So we gotta find a way
to ease back, you know.

1207
01:19:23,008 --> 01:19:24,718
- Okay, yeah.
- Take me slowly there.

1208
01:19:24,801 --> 01:19:25,635
Definitely.

1209
01:19:26,136 --> 01:19:27,429
It's been a long time.

1210
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:31,475
There you go.

1211
01:19:35,228 --> 01:19:37,397
Good, that's good.

1212
01:19:37,481 --> 01:19:39,065
- Perfect.
- Can't even budge.

1213
01:19:43,820 --> 01:19:47,157
- Good. Turn… Be completely relaxed.
- This is hard, man, Jesus Christ.

1214
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:48,158
Take a break.

1215
01:19:51,661 --> 01:19:53,789
- The body's not used to it, right?
- Yeah.

1216
01:19:54,456 --> 01:19:55,290
Yep.

1217
01:19:56,416 --> 01:19:58,502
It's the way to get back like that again.

1218
01:20:23,819 --> 01:20:27,572
I'm gonna give you a list right now
of people that I'd like to just get,

1219
01:20:27,656 --> 01:20:30,742
and as fast as you get them on the phone,
I have to speak with each one.

1220
01:20:30,826 --> 01:20:31,660
No problem.

1221
01:20:31,743 --> 01:20:33,370
- Sidney Poitier.
- Mm-hmm.

1222
01:20:33,453 --> 01:20:34,830
Stevie Wonder. Michael.

1223
01:20:35,872 --> 01:20:38,667
- M.J.
- Streisand. Spielberg's office.

1224
01:20:38,750 --> 01:20:41,127
- And I'd like to talk to Alex Haley.
- Mm-hmm.

1225
01:20:41,211 --> 01:20:42,379
And Brando.

1226
01:20:47,342 --> 01:20:49,636
The new star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

1227
01:20:49,719 --> 01:20:53,056
This one honors composer, arranger,
and jazz musician Quincy Jones.

1228
01:20:53,139 --> 01:20:55,225
How did all these people get here?

1229
01:20:55,308 --> 01:20:57,978
Jones was there today
with his wife, actress Peggy Lipton,

1230
01:20:58,061 --> 01:20:59,771
who was, of course, in The Mod Squad.

1231
01:20:59,896 --> 01:21:01,940
Jones headed the list
with eight nominations

1232
01:21:02,023 --> 01:21:04,860
including best album of the year
for The Dude.

1233
01:21:05,485 --> 01:21:09,823
You get inspired by so many things
and you never stop, you never stop.

1234
01:21:09,906 --> 01:21:12,284
You think you can get it all in
and that's the dangerous part.

1235
01:21:13,326 --> 01:21:16,621
There was so much demand on him,
in every way.

1236
01:21:17,622 --> 01:21:20,876
Host this, be that, you know,
show up here, do that.

1237
01:21:22,419 --> 01:21:26,047
I began to find those things
really wearing on us.

1238
01:21:27,048 --> 01:21:29,175
It didn't feel like the old days anymore.

1239
01:21:29,759 --> 01:21:31,887
It felt like things had changed so much.

1240
01:21:32,012 --> 01:21:34,973
A group of legendary performers
recorded "We Are the World".

1241
01:21:35,056 --> 01:21:36,850
That's good, let's put it on the tape!

1242
01:21:36,933 --> 01:21:41,146
They've generated millions
of dollars to help fight famine in Africa.

1243
01:21:41,229 --> 01:21:44,691
"The world's number one music man."
One would think that's enough.

1244
01:21:44,774 --> 01:21:47,903
What, uh, made you decide
to go and produce a film?

1245
01:21:47,986 --> 01:21:51,448
Well, it's been a little secret dream
for years, right?

1246
01:21:53,325 --> 01:21:57,704
And it also encompassed
a beautiful era of black music

1247
01:21:57,787 --> 01:22:00,665
that was woven and integrated
right into the story.

1248
01:22:06,671 --> 01:22:09,758
At first I resisted, you know,
for all the obvious reasons.

1249
01:22:10,967 --> 01:22:13,261
And Quincy was saying,
"You know, this is not about race.

1250
01:22:13,345 --> 01:22:14,471
This is about humanity."

1251
01:22:14,554 --> 01:22:18,058
And he said, "You know, you didn't
have to go to Mars to make E.T."

1252
01:22:18,141 --> 01:22:19,893
And that made a lot of sense to me.

1253
01:22:21,561 --> 01:22:25,148
♪ I bet ya think I don't know nothing… ♪

1254
01:22:25,231 --> 01:22:27,692
You all know the story, right?
Quincy Jones discovered me.

1255
01:22:27,776 --> 01:22:30,779
And he was in Chicago, turned…
Tell 'em the story, Quincy.

1256
01:22:30,862 --> 01:22:32,781
We were trying to cast
The Color Purple.

1257
01:22:32,864 --> 01:22:34,115
I came in on a red-eye

1258
01:22:34,199 --> 01:22:36,493
and couldn't sleep
and walked around in the hotel

1259
01:22:36,576 --> 01:22:38,244
and turned on the television set,

1260
01:22:38,620 --> 01:22:41,331
and here comes Miss Winfrey,

1261
01:22:41,414 --> 01:22:43,249
real, honest, and true,

1262
01:22:43,333 --> 01:22:45,460
and it's all over. My baby.

1263
01:22:45,543 --> 01:22:47,712
- And I was discovered!
- My baby.

1264
01:22:53,510 --> 01:22:55,971
After principal photography
had been completed,

1265
01:22:56,429 --> 01:22:57,430
I almost forgot

1266
01:22:57,514 --> 01:23:00,392
I still had to create a score
in less than two months.

1267
01:23:00,475 --> 01:23:02,477
- Were you overwhelmed?
- Oh, yes.

1268
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:04,562
And I just panicked, you know?

1269
01:23:04,646 --> 01:23:07,107
We already got a drum machine on, man.
We got a drum machine.

1270
01:23:07,190 --> 01:23:08,817
We don't need to worry about that, do we?

1271
01:23:20,620 --> 01:23:22,914
I know it's a sickness,
in a way.

1272
01:23:23,456 --> 01:23:26,668
You can call it "workaholic"
or whatever it is, but it's, uh…

1273
01:23:27,127 --> 01:23:28,378
it's the only way I know.

1274
01:23:31,256 --> 01:23:32,424
He'd become…

1275
01:23:32,882 --> 01:23:35,510
a person
that people just wanted a part of,

1276
01:23:35,593 --> 01:23:38,346
and he began to give away, I thought…

1277
01:23:39,139 --> 01:23:40,640
pieces of himself.

1278
01:23:41,016 --> 01:23:44,269
And by the time The Color Purple was over,
there was nothing left.

1279
01:23:44,644 --> 01:23:46,688
He wasn't even of this world.

1280
01:23:48,148 --> 01:23:50,859
How are you feeling now?
I mean, are you, like, zombied out?

1281
01:23:50,942 --> 01:23:53,862
I'm fried, yes, really. It's…
I've been running around,

1282
01:23:53,945 --> 01:23:57,073
and… and I'm just physically
and mentally exhausted, you know?

1283
01:23:57,157 --> 01:23:58,950
- From writing all that music?
- Just everything.

1284
01:23:59,034 --> 01:24:01,786
It's just the most music
I've ever seen in my life, and it's…

1285
01:24:01,870 --> 01:24:03,621
The brain is just tired, you know.

1286
01:24:03,705 --> 01:24:07,000
It's two years, you know.
Just like… I've been running.

1287
01:24:07,625 --> 01:24:11,963
Our relationship was starting to,
you know, look sort of, uh, bleak.

1288
01:24:13,048 --> 01:24:15,091
And a lot of it came from my insecurity,

1289
01:24:15,175 --> 01:24:17,385
not having him around
as much as I wanted to.

1290
01:24:19,804 --> 01:24:21,681
That movie took him away.

1291
01:24:23,933 --> 01:24:26,227
He wanted to fix things,
but there was nothing to fix.

1292
01:24:26,311 --> 01:24:29,481
I wasn't that whole… person
that I needed to be.

1293
01:24:29,564 --> 01:24:31,524
So…

1294
01:24:32,275 --> 01:24:33,151
we broke up.

1295
01:24:35,028 --> 01:24:36,196
It was over like that.

1296
01:24:41,534 --> 01:24:44,079
Losing my marriage to Peggy
after 14Â years

1297
01:24:44,162 --> 01:24:46,206
was like having my arteries ripped out.

1298
01:24:47,540 --> 01:24:50,752
I lost the woman I thought I'd live with
for the rest of my life.

1299
01:24:52,837 --> 01:24:55,048
I'd known then
that I was losing my mind…

1300
01:24:56,424 --> 01:24:58,551
that I was having a nervous breakdown.

1301
01:25:00,553 --> 01:25:01,721
I went back…

1302
01:25:01,805 --> 01:25:03,890
inside, deep into myself,

1303
01:25:03,973 --> 01:25:08,561
to reassess my essence as a human being.

1304
01:25:11,231 --> 01:25:14,067
'Cause I don't want to recreate
any of the old patterns again.

1305
01:25:16,361 --> 01:25:19,697
I realized that, from the time
I was a little boy, to that moment,

1306
01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:21,616
I was always running…

1307
01:25:22,951 --> 01:25:25,703
always trying to fill up
that black hole in my soul.

1308
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:29,833
I ran because there was nothing behind me
to hold me up.

1309
01:25:30,708 --> 01:25:33,878
I ran because I thought that
that was all there was to do.

1310
01:25:35,046 --> 01:25:38,216
I thought that to stay in one place
meant to die.

1311
01:25:40,426 --> 01:25:42,595
All I could think about was my kids…

1312
01:25:43,847 --> 01:25:46,850
how my success had been
at their expense in so many ways.

1313
01:25:49,394 --> 01:25:51,354
Sometimes it's hard, at first,
to talk to him.

1314
01:25:51,437 --> 01:25:53,189
- Uh-huh.
- But then, once…

1315
01:25:53,273 --> 01:25:56,359
once I say what I want to say, he's fine.

1316
01:25:57,277 --> 01:26:01,447
Like, I couldn't really talk to him
for a while 'cause I never see him.

1317
01:26:01,531 --> 01:26:02,407
Yeah.

1318
01:26:04,909 --> 01:26:08,997
It took two or three years
to get everything really in focus,

1319
01:26:09,789 --> 01:26:14,043
to reassess
how I want to spend the rest of my life.

1320
01:26:50,288 --> 01:26:53,249
Ladies and gentlemen,
the hardest-working man in showbusiness.

1321
01:26:55,710 --> 01:26:58,213
Okay… Okay, did you get it?

1322
01:26:58,588 --> 01:27:00,256
Daddy! Daddy!

1323
01:27:08,514 --> 01:27:10,350
No! Oh, God…

1324
01:27:15,897 --> 01:27:19,734
I thought about my kids because, while
I was doing all this stuff, you know…

1325
01:27:19,817 --> 01:27:21,527
uh, it was taking the time from them.

1326
01:27:21,611 --> 01:27:23,529
And that's what I kept thinking about,
you know.

1327
01:27:23,613 --> 01:27:26,950
And that's my pride and joy,
my children, I'm telling you.

1328
01:27:27,033 --> 01:27:28,201
And I'm making up for it now.

1329
01:27:28,660 --> 01:27:31,579
This is my one and only number one son.

1330
01:27:31,663 --> 01:27:33,790
He loves lots of hip hop

1331
01:27:33,873 --> 01:27:36,960
and introduced me to a lot of things
that I didn't understand about it.

1332
01:27:45,927 --> 01:27:47,303
And again, yep.

1333
01:27:48,429 --> 01:27:51,140
That's good.
And look over there.

1334
01:27:51,224 --> 01:27:52,100
That's great.

1335
01:27:53,810 --> 01:27:55,353
This shit kinda big, huh?

1336
01:27:57,563 --> 01:27:59,065
It's Quincy Jones, boy.

1337
01:28:00,024 --> 01:28:01,276
Don't talk to me no more.

1338
01:28:03,653 --> 01:28:04,988
Want to make a bad face?

1339
01:28:08,116 --> 01:28:11,494
My generation was introduced to Quincy
when Thriller…

1340
01:28:13,329 --> 01:28:14,872
You know, that's where…

1341
01:28:17,125 --> 01:28:19,127
kids my age can identify him with.

1342
01:28:19,669 --> 01:28:21,629
- Where you from, man?
- I'm from Compton.

1343
01:28:22,297 --> 01:28:24,674
South Side of Chicago, that was my home.

1344
01:28:24,757 --> 01:28:26,843
- Yeah, it's tough. My family's from there.
- Huh?

1345
01:28:26,926 --> 01:28:28,720
- My whole family's from there.
- That's amazing.

1346
01:28:28,803 --> 01:28:31,639
But it's the same. You know, the hood
is the same everywhere in the world.

1347
01:28:31,723 --> 01:28:33,683
- Yeah.
- Then I found a piano, man,

1348
01:28:33,766 --> 01:28:35,393
- and that changed my life.
- Yeah.

1349
01:28:37,145 --> 01:28:39,147
I would have been dead or in prison
a long time ago.

1350
01:28:39,230 --> 01:28:41,190
- Right.
- Chicago, Jesus…

1351
01:28:41,858 --> 01:28:42,734
In the '30s?

1352
01:28:42,817 --> 01:28:44,277
- Them motherfuckers don't play.
- Yeah.

1353
01:28:44,819 --> 01:28:48,239
It's funny, because I was inspired
by Back on the Block without even knowing.

1354
01:28:48,323 --> 01:28:53,453
Combining hip hop and jazz,
and you was the first to do it.

1355
01:28:53,536 --> 01:28:55,455
- Do you know where rap came from?
- Uhn-uhn.

1356
01:28:55,538 --> 01:28:57,832
Where? Where do you think
it came from, the Bronx?

1357
01:28:57,915 --> 01:29:00,335
- My generation, we're gonna say the Bronx.
- Shit.

1358
01:29:00,668 --> 01:29:02,462
- The Bronx.
- It came from Africa.

1359
01:29:02,545 --> 01:29:03,880
The praise-shouters in Africa.

1360
01:29:04,922 --> 01:29:06,549
- That's a trip, man.
- It is.

1361
01:29:06,632 --> 01:29:08,468
That's where all the rhythms came from.
Huh?

1362
01:29:08,551 --> 01:29:10,386
- To know where it really originates.
- Yeah.

1363
01:29:10,470 --> 01:29:12,388
- Where the rhythms came from.
- Vibrations, yeah.

1364
01:29:12,472 --> 01:29:15,892
When I was in the hospital,
I was looking back on 70 years, man.

1365
01:29:15,975 --> 01:29:17,518
- It's been a motherfucker, man.
- Yeah.

1366
01:29:17,602 --> 01:29:20,563
Unbelievable.
Each decade is different, you know?

1367
01:29:20,646 --> 01:29:21,981
- Each decade.
- Different music.

1368
01:29:22,065 --> 01:29:23,441
- Right.
- It's amazing.

1369
01:29:23,566 --> 01:29:25,777
I never thought about
that stuff before, you know.

1370
01:29:26,277 --> 01:29:28,446
- 'Cause you get back what you give, man.
- Yeah.

1371
01:29:28,529 --> 01:29:30,365
- You can count on that.
- Wow.

1372
01:29:31,366 --> 01:29:33,284
- Man.
- But you're on the right track, man.

1373
01:29:33,368 --> 01:29:36,245
- It's definitely a pleasure. An honor.
- I'm very proud of you, man.

1374
01:29:36,329 --> 01:29:38,289
- Thank you.
- And I'm always there for you.

1375
01:29:38,373 --> 01:29:40,541
- You got my card, right?
- Yup. Yup.

1376
01:29:40,625 --> 01:29:41,918
- Always there.
- Yup.

1377
01:29:42,001 --> 01:29:43,336
- I mean that.
- Yup.

1378
01:29:43,419 --> 01:29:45,004
- I'm gonna take that to heart.
- Mm-hmm.

1379
01:29:45,088 --> 01:29:46,464
I'm gonna take it to heart.

1380
01:29:55,473 --> 01:29:57,892
- So, this is Prairie, huh?
- This is it.

1381
01:30:05,108 --> 01:30:09,445
Lord, that's it! Lord have mercy!
Just hold, just a second. God damn.

1382
01:30:10,988 --> 01:30:11,989
Wow.

1383
01:30:12,615 --> 01:30:15,159
God. Boy, this is heavy… Whoo!

1384
01:30:20,415 --> 01:30:22,291
That is unbelievable.

1385
01:30:26,921 --> 01:30:28,339
God damn!

1386
01:30:37,723 --> 01:30:38,975
That's frightening, man.

1387
01:30:50,486 --> 01:30:51,904
I can't put it all together.

1388
01:31:04,041 --> 01:31:05,293
Man, oh, man.

1389
01:31:06,127 --> 01:31:07,628
Look at this, I remember this.

1390
01:31:08,045 --> 01:31:10,423
Ooh! I remember this so well.

1391
01:31:18,723 --> 01:31:19,932
Yeah, we were back here.

1392
01:31:22,268 --> 01:31:23,936
Oh, my God, man.

1393
01:31:25,062 --> 01:31:25,980
Wow.

1394
01:31:32,069 --> 01:31:36,324
You know what's amazing is how big
everything used to feel. It's so tiny.

1395
01:31:39,911 --> 01:31:42,955
Oh boy, it's my… My parents stayed here.

1396
01:31:48,044 --> 01:31:51,797
That's where they threw my mother
down on the bed and, uh…

1397
01:31:53,132 --> 01:31:55,259
and put her in a straitjacket.

1398
01:31:56,093 --> 01:31:57,303
And they took her away.

1399
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:05,603
Jesus Christ.

1400
01:32:21,619 --> 01:32:24,830
I'm carrying around the past.

1401
01:32:27,041 --> 01:32:29,794
But you can sit
and wallow in that shit, you know…

1402
01:32:30,211 --> 01:32:33,923
and blame, and all the other stuff,
but it's not about that.

1403
01:32:35,299 --> 01:32:39,720
At one point, I stopped thinking about
myself and I started to think about her

1404
01:32:39,804 --> 01:32:42,765
and… think about the things
she had gone through.

1405
01:32:43,349 --> 01:32:44,684
And how much she loved us.

1406
01:32:45,726 --> 01:32:48,479
And I got it.
It was real late, but I got it, you know.

1407
01:32:50,064 --> 01:32:52,275
You got to let go all of the past,
you know,

1408
01:32:52,358 --> 01:32:54,026
bring the good parts forward,

1409
01:32:54,110 --> 01:32:57,238
forget about the negative stuff,
and go on.

1410
01:32:58,114 --> 01:33:01,450
Because whenever you get hung up
and locked into the past,

1411
01:33:01,534 --> 01:33:03,619
you're robbing yourself of the present…

1412
01:33:04,245 --> 01:33:06,080
and definitely the future, you know.

1413
01:33:07,748 --> 01:33:09,083
- How old are you?
- Eight.

1414
01:33:10,001 --> 01:33:11,586
I was here when I was your age.

1415
01:33:12,253 --> 01:33:14,505
You got Michael Jackson in business.

1416
01:33:28,936 --> 01:33:30,646
I was working on the show, man.

1417
01:33:30,730 --> 01:33:32,440
It's just right around the corner.

1418
01:33:33,441 --> 01:33:35,860
- You think you'll be ready, Dad?
- We'll get it.

1419
01:33:46,287 --> 01:33:48,039
Boy, oh boy, what history.

1420
01:33:55,338 --> 01:33:56,297
Oh, my God.

1421
01:33:58,049 --> 01:34:00,551
Boy, the shit they've gone through
in this country.

1422
01:34:05,348 --> 01:34:08,976
This has got to be the best
for young people to see, good God.

1423
01:34:16,567 --> 01:34:18,069
Look at Marvin over there.

1424
01:34:18,444 --> 01:34:19,278
My baby.

1425
01:34:19,904 --> 01:34:23,199
Look at this. All the old homies there.

1426
01:34:25,076 --> 01:34:26,410
Yeah, these are the kings.

1427
01:34:31,290 --> 01:34:32,583
Mm-mm-mm!

1428
01:34:33,376 --> 01:34:34,543
Unbelievable.

1429
01:34:37,463 --> 01:34:39,590
Here's your girl, Dinah Washington.

1430
01:34:40,341 --> 01:34:42,593
Look at Dinah, the Queen.

1431
01:34:43,719 --> 01:34:46,055
I started with her when I was 22.

1432
01:34:48,557 --> 01:34:50,476
It's heavy, man. This is like a dream.

1433
01:34:54,730 --> 01:34:55,815
My brother, man.

1434
01:35:01,404 --> 01:35:02,238
Smelly.

1435
01:35:06,951 --> 01:35:07,785
Heavy.

1436
01:35:11,038 --> 01:35:12,790
Lord have mercy, this is memories.

1437
01:35:13,165 --> 01:35:14,375
Memory lane, man.

1438
01:35:16,001 --> 01:35:18,754
This is so good for young people,
boy, I can't tell you.

1439
01:35:19,130 --> 01:35:20,673
Kids can see what the history is about.

1440
01:35:20,756 --> 01:35:23,092
- Exactly, exactly.
- It's beautiful, man. Thank you, brother.

1441
01:35:23,175 --> 01:35:25,344
Thank you. Been waiting all my life
to see this, man.

1442
01:35:28,264 --> 01:35:29,306
Jesus Christ.

1443
01:35:33,352 --> 01:35:34,186
Damn.

1444
01:35:35,187 --> 01:35:36,105
All of them gone.

1445
01:35:38,023 --> 01:35:39,024
That's frightening.

1446
01:35:47,158 --> 01:35:47,992
Hmm.

1447
01:35:48,451 --> 01:35:49,452
Beautiful people.

1448
01:35:55,124 --> 01:35:57,251
- Am I in tune?
- That's what I was gonna do.

1449
01:35:57,334 --> 01:35:59,044
Feels a little high.

1450
01:36:00,671 --> 01:36:02,381
- Um, sharp or flat?
- It's a little high.

1451
01:36:02,465 --> 01:36:04,925
- A little sharp.
- No shit.

1452
01:36:07,344 --> 01:36:09,430
If I had one more shot
to make an album,

1453
01:36:09,513 --> 01:36:11,182
it would be an album like this.

1454
01:36:14,894 --> 01:36:15,811
Whoa, baby!

1455
01:36:15,895 --> 01:36:17,855
- I'm supposed to keep right through?
- That's it.

1456
01:36:17,938 --> 01:36:19,565
You did just what you supposed to do.

1457
01:36:19,648 --> 01:36:21,942

I can't believe this.

I really can't believe this.
I've been in this Academy since 1958.

1491
01:38:00,749 --> 01:38:03,961
And this is the first time
I even dare think about having a…

1492
01:38:06,505 --> 01:38:09,884
Grammy… under my own name,
and I'm so proud.

let's take care of the Earth.

01:38:22,855 --> 01:38:24,690
Thank you very much. I'm very happy.

um, socially, politically,

1503
01:38:44,251 --> 01:38:46,211

We came here to announce the formation
of Qwest Broadcasting Company.

1505
01:38:52,843 --> 01:38:56,055
Qwest will be one of the largest
minority-controlled broadcasting groups

1506
01:38:56,138 --> 01:38:57,389
in the industry today.

1507
01:38:58,015 --> 01:39:01,769
Our first show went on NBC on Monday
nights, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

1508
01:39:01,852 --> 01:39:06,982
♪ Now this is a story all about how ♪
♪ My life got flipped, turned upside down ♪

1509
01:39:07,066 --> 01:39:09,985
Quincy called me.
He said, "What are you doing?"

1510
01:39:10,069 --> 01:39:12,363
I said. "Well, you know, we're touring."
He said, "Okay.

1511
01:39:12,446 --> 01:39:14,698
Well, I want to pitch your future to you."

1512
01:39:15,199 --> 01:39:16,700
- Hey, Q!
- Hey!

1513
01:39:18,410 --> 01:39:20,579
I saw him
from the first time he got on camera,

1514
01:39:20,663 --> 01:39:23,374
and I saw this man grow and grow.

1515
01:39:23,457 --> 01:39:26,835
Vibe is the latest
thrill for Quincy Jones,

1516
01:39:26,919 --> 01:39:30,089
who says his new magazine will be
for the '90s hip hoppers

1517
01:39:30,172 --> 01:39:32,883
what Rolling Stone
was to '60s rockers.

1518
01:39:32,967 --> 01:39:35,678
I realized there's
a whole new music culture

1519
01:39:35,761 --> 01:39:39,431
that sits on the scene today
that I think is growing by the minute

1520
01:39:39,515 --> 01:39:41,141
and there's no voice for it.

1521
01:39:42,476 --> 01:39:43,894
♪ How do U want it? ♪

1522
01:39:45,312 --> 01:39:46,480
♪ How do U feel? ♪

1523
01:39:47,523 --> 01:39:50,901
What is it about rap
that scares people?

1524
01:39:51,652 --> 01:39:54,488
It's young black urban
males with a lot of energy

1525
01:39:54,613 --> 01:39:58,242
and expressing the conditions
of their life in a very poetic way.

1526
01:39:58,325 --> 01:40:00,703
It's a very dramatic way,
a very theatrical way,

1527
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:02,663
and it is very powerful stuff.

1528
01:40:03,956 --> 01:40:06,250
The two have been
at the center of a battle

1529
01:40:06,333 --> 01:40:08,377
between east and west coast rappers.

1530
01:40:08,836 --> 01:40:12,339
I don't think they are aware
that they have such a tremendous heritage.

1531
01:40:12,756 --> 01:40:16,176
Sometimes they feel like they're alone
out there. But they're not alone.

1532
01:40:17,761 --> 01:40:21,432
Fans on both coasts
want the real-life violence to stop.

1533
01:40:22,016 --> 01:40:25,060
I think communications can help a lot,

1534
01:40:25,144 --> 01:40:28,397
because we're getting ready to lose
two generations of young people.

1535
01:40:32,026 --> 01:40:36,405
We had a symposium, uh,
in New York with Suge Knight,

1536
01:40:36,488 --> 01:40:39,116
and Dr. Dre, and Puffy,
and all those people,

1537
01:40:39,199 --> 01:40:40,951
Public Enemy, and Colin Powell,

1538
01:40:41,035 --> 01:40:44,246
you know, to talk about
how do we even this out

1539
01:40:44,329 --> 01:40:46,457
so that they don't get blown away
so young.

1540
01:40:46,915 --> 01:40:49,752
Let's bring Quincy Jones up
so he can really set it off.

1541
01:40:53,130 --> 01:40:56,967
The reason I fell in love with hip hop?
Because it reminded me so much of bebop,

1542
01:40:57,051 --> 01:41:00,596
and I feel a kinship there because we went
through a lot of the same stuff.

1543
01:41:00,679 --> 01:41:02,514
The philosophy behind bebop

1544
01:41:02,598 --> 01:41:05,225
is that you had to be hip,
you wanted to be hip.

1545
01:41:05,309 --> 01:41:07,019
And being hip is being aware.

1546
01:41:07,603 --> 01:41:12,274
The thing that really provoked me to say
it's time to pay attention now is Tupac.

1547
01:41:12,357 --> 01:41:15,360
We finally hooked up,
even though it was, uh…

1548
01:41:15,444 --> 01:41:18,655
tension conditions in the beginning,
we finally talked to each other

1549
01:41:18,739 --> 01:41:21,408
and he said nobody had talked
to him like that before.

1550
01:41:22,534 --> 01:41:24,453
And I said I can't take it anymore…

1551
01:41:24,536 --> 01:41:28,332
because we no longer
can afford to be non-political,

1552
01:41:28,415 --> 01:41:30,209
and I'm talking to the hip hop nation now.

1553
01:41:30,751 --> 01:41:35,047
We got to seriously talk about
what you are you going to… deal with.

1554
01:41:35,631 --> 01:41:38,550
They're not playing. There's real bullets
out there, believe me.

1555
01:41:40,052 --> 01:41:43,263
I'm not gonna roll on here.
I got so many things to say…

1556
01:41:44,306 --> 01:41:46,767
and it's a very emotional… thing.

1557
01:41:46,850 --> 01:41:49,228
I want to see you guys live
at least to my age.

1558
01:41:49,311 --> 01:41:50,187
I really do.

1559
01:41:54,316 --> 01:41:57,528
Rapper Biggie Smalls
was shot to death in Los Angeles.

1560
01:41:57,611 --> 01:42:00,239
His death comes almost exactly
six months to the day

1561
01:42:00,322 --> 01:42:04,493
that another rapper, Tupac Shakur,
was fatally shot in Las Vegas.

1562
01:42:05,911 --> 01:42:08,789
His death is going
to open some eyes most definitely.

1563
01:42:08,872 --> 01:42:12,209
To me, I get the feeling that there's
already becoming a change in hip hop.

1564
01:42:12,292 --> 01:42:15,462
Everybody's moving more
to the positive vibe.

1565
01:42:15,546 --> 01:42:16,630
You know what I mean?

1566
01:42:39,361 --> 01:42:41,488
I've seen the power of music as a tool…

1567
01:42:42,156 --> 01:42:45,659
to reach the hearts and minds
of millions of people.

1568
01:42:46,076 --> 01:42:50,372
And since my voice carries louder
and farther than those of a few others,

1569
01:42:50,455 --> 01:42:53,375
I have a special responsibility
to sing a melody…

1570
01:42:53,917 --> 01:42:56,128
about poverty eradication,

1571
01:42:56,211 --> 01:42:59,464
to end the suffering
caused by extreme poverty.

1572
01:42:59,882 --> 01:43:02,050
And I have been hungry.
I know what it feels like.

1573
01:43:02,134 --> 01:43:04,761
And I don't care how much money I make
or suits I wear,

1574
01:43:04,845 --> 01:43:08,557
I never forget that feeling of what
it feels like when you miss the meals

1575
01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:10,350
and you can't eat for three days.

1576
01:43:11,643 --> 01:43:15,856
When Quincy decided that he wanted to be
more of a citizen with more impact,

1577
01:43:15,939 --> 01:43:18,609
not only in the United States,
but around the world,

1578
01:43:18,692 --> 01:43:21,445
he goes after that
the same way he went after music.

1579
01:43:21,862 --> 01:43:23,405
Hi, I'm Quincy Jones,

1580
01:43:23,614 --> 01:43:25,866
and this is the first official
opening ceremony

1581
01:43:25,949 --> 01:43:27,868
leading to the presidential inauguration.

1582
01:43:28,619 --> 01:43:30,412
- Hey, Rash!
- Busy, Dad?

1583
01:43:30,495 --> 01:43:32,247
- Who, me?
- Yeah.

1584
01:43:32,998 --> 01:43:35,125
He understands
that it's only through politics

1585
01:43:35,209 --> 01:43:38,712
that you can address some of the problems
that he cares a lot about.

1586
01:43:39,338 --> 01:43:42,633
Now Jones will gather
many of the world's A-list stars in Rome

1587
01:43:42,716 --> 01:43:44,801
for the "We Are the Future" concert.

1588
01:43:44,885 --> 01:43:46,303
Ciao, Roma!

1589
01:43:46,386 --> 01:43:49,431
The event will launch
a worldwide humanitarian effort

1590
01:43:49,514 --> 01:43:52,142
aimed at helping children
in war-ravaged countries.

1591
01:43:52,684 --> 01:43:55,145
Pope John Paul II
meets with Quincy Jones today

1592
01:43:55,229 --> 01:43:57,606
as part of an effort
to help get rid of Third World debt.

1593
01:43:58,440 --> 01:44:02,903
We're raising the funds now
to build 100Â homes in South Africa

1594
01:44:02,986 --> 01:44:05,280
with the Habitat for Humanity.

1595
01:44:05,364 --> 01:44:07,074
My daddy used to do this, man.

1596
01:44:08,325 --> 01:44:11,370
I've got a great respect
for Quincy Jones.

1597
01:44:11,995 --> 01:44:14,915
For a man with such talents

1598
01:44:14,998 --> 01:44:17,960
to regard the struggle in South Africa…

1599
01:44:18,043 --> 01:44:21,421
This takes an exceptional human being.

1600
01:44:22,464 --> 01:44:24,466
What's interesting about Quincy
has been,

1601
01:44:24,549 --> 01:44:28,887
at each stage in this remarkable career,
he's been the first.

1602
01:44:29,471 --> 01:44:32,975
He's been somebody who's walked
through that door before anybody else has,

1603
01:44:33,433 --> 01:44:37,938
and that's given people behind him
enormous confidence.

1604
01:44:38,021 --> 01:44:40,232
And he's done it with grace.

1605
01:44:41,483 --> 01:44:44,236
- You only live 26,000 days.
- That's right.

1606
01:44:44,319 --> 01:44:46,571
- And you dead a lot longer than that.
- That's right, honey.

1607
01:44:46,655 --> 01:44:48,824
And so, I'm telling you,
I'm gonna wear all of them out.

1608
01:44:48,907 --> 01:44:51,493
And if I get to 80, that'll be 29,000.

1609
01:44:51,576 --> 01:44:53,203
I'm gonna wear 'em all out, you know?

1610
01:44:53,287 --> 01:44:56,081
They're gonna know…
we came through here.

1611
01:45:04,715 --> 01:45:05,799
It's from a…

1612
01:45:06,425 --> 01:45:09,177
a farm down in South Africa,

1613
01:45:09,261 --> 01:45:11,596
and they were going broke
with the produce,

1614
01:45:11,680 --> 01:45:14,349
so the owner of the farm
taught all the people that worked on it

1615
01:45:14,433 --> 01:45:15,559
how to do sculpting.

1616
01:45:16,518 --> 01:45:17,602
Isn't that something?

1617
01:45:17,936 --> 01:45:19,896
So I was at this art gallery…

1618
01:45:20,314 --> 01:45:22,941
with Mancini,
and I saw the dude that said,

1619
01:45:23,025 --> 01:45:24,693
"Take me with you, take me home."

1620
01:45:25,485 --> 01:45:27,696
You know, he just begged me
to take him home.

1621
01:45:28,822 --> 01:45:31,783
That's what inspired the album.
Isn't that something?

1622
01:45:31,867 --> 01:45:32,826
♪ That's the dude ♪

1623
01:45:32,909 --> 01:45:33,869
That's the dude.

1624
01:45:36,121 --> 01:45:37,539
Attitude, isn't it, man?

1625
01:45:38,832 --> 01:45:40,584
Is that attitude? Shit…!

1626
01:45:41,043 --> 01:45:42,544
Don't mess with that motherfucker,
boy.

1627
01:45:43,086 --> 01:45:44,963
And it just talked to me every night.

1628
01:45:45,464 --> 01:45:48,508
"Hey, motherfucker, I want to be an album.
I want to be a tune."

1629
01:45:52,679 --> 01:45:53,930
Merry Christmas.

1630
01:45:59,436 --> 01:46:00,479
This is my grandson.

1631
01:46:00,979 --> 01:46:01,813
Love you, man.

1632
01:46:01,897 --> 01:46:03,440
- Merry Christmas.
- You too, baby.

1633
01:46:03,523 --> 01:46:04,858
I adore you.

1634
01:46:07,110 --> 01:46:08,236
Yeah, baby!

1635
01:46:14,743 --> 01:46:15,827
Where's my kiss?

1636
01:46:18,413 --> 01:46:19,664
Thank you, sweetheart.

1637
01:46:19,748 --> 01:46:20,874
Oh!

1638
01:46:22,834 --> 01:46:25,504
- I love your class.
- Can you take a picture with us?

1639
01:46:25,587 --> 01:46:27,005
Thanks for tonight, Glo.

1640
01:46:28,924 --> 01:46:29,925
It was great.

1641
01:46:35,514 --> 01:46:39,101
When you almost leave here,
you really treasure a day like today.

1642
01:46:39,184 --> 01:46:40,185
Oh, man.

1643
01:46:41,520 --> 01:46:42,521
Really treasure it.

1644
01:46:46,733 --> 01:46:48,610
Every… every day, friends are dying.

1645
01:46:49,444 --> 01:46:50,654
It's really been crazy.

1646
01:46:51,613 --> 01:46:55,826
It's hard because, you know what,
you know that that telephone

1647
01:46:55,909 --> 01:46:57,452
will never be answered again.

1648
01:46:58,036 --> 01:47:00,789
Ray Charles, all those people,
it'll never be answered again,

1649
01:47:00,872 --> 01:47:02,124
and that's the hard part.

1650
01:47:02,749 --> 01:47:04,751
You've got their numbers,
the Cannonball's and stuff,

1651
01:47:04,835 --> 01:47:07,546
Dizzy's and Miles', and Sarah, and Ella,
and all that stuff,

1652
01:47:07,629 --> 01:47:09,548
but they're… they're gone, you know.

1653
01:47:09,631 --> 01:47:10,799
And it's painful.

1654
01:47:11,341 --> 01:47:12,217
Painful, man.

1655
01:47:12,968 --> 01:47:15,011
Lesley Gore, and Michael.

1656
01:47:15,887 --> 01:47:16,721
It's a killer.

1657
01:47:21,977 --> 01:47:23,103
But that's life.

1658
01:47:30,819 --> 01:47:31,987
Hey, Quincy.

1659
01:47:34,823 --> 01:47:35,866
This is me.

1660
01:47:37,409 --> 01:47:38,493

Aww, Quincy…

1671
01:49:01,535 --> 01:49:03,787
I love you, man. I love you.

1672
01:49:15,382 --> 01:49:21,972
Today, as so many generations have before,
we gather on our National Mall…

1673
01:49:23,515 --> 01:49:27,310
to tell an essential part
of our American story.

1674
01:49:29,437 --> 01:49:31,940
One that has, at times, been overlooked.

1675
01:49:37,445 --> 01:49:39,489
Quincy is the reason
we're all here.

1676
01:49:39,573 --> 01:49:41,992
He suggested
that we all get involved in this.

1677
01:49:43,034 --> 01:49:44,077
Thank you.

1678
01:49:45,745 --> 01:49:47,163
You know what would be a good idea?

1679
01:49:47,247 --> 01:49:49,416
So if you're doing a live
"America the Beautiful",

1680
01:49:49,499 --> 01:49:52,586
you ought to play Ray Charles'
"America the Beautiful" in there too.

1681
01:49:52,669 --> 01:49:54,546
- The combination would be hot.
- Yeah.

1682
01:49:55,380 --> 01:49:57,215
As soon as you get the script,
just send it him.

1683
01:49:57,299 --> 01:50:00,760
Maybe we'll let him use his own words
about how happy he is to see the museum.

1684
01:50:01,261 --> 01:50:03,763
"African-Americans came from Carolinas,
Florida, New Orleans…"

1685
01:50:03,847 --> 01:50:07,183
Just cut that out and start,
"A lot of whites came from Downtown."

1686
01:50:07,267 --> 01:50:09,811
- We didn't get Colin Powell yet, huh?
- Huh?

1687
01:50:09,894 --> 01:50:12,022
- Didn't get Colin Powell?
- Don't think they got him yet.

1688
01:50:13,481 --> 01:50:15,275
Okay, I'll call Colin, man, I'll call him.

1689
01:50:16,318 --> 01:50:18,445
My brother, Colin, this is Quincy, man.

1690
01:50:18,903 --> 01:50:19,738
Yeah.

1691
01:50:20,739 --> 01:50:22,115
But we need you, man.

1692
01:50:22,198 --> 01:50:24,618
And Tom Hanks will introduce you,
you know,

1693
01:50:24,701 --> 01:50:26,953
right after they do the Tuskegee Airmen.

1694

So, did you hear back from her yet?
Oprah?

1700
01:50:50,143 --> 01:50:51,353
- Just from the assistant.
- Okay.

1701
01:50:51,436 --> 01:50:52,771
She was passing it along.

1702
01:50:52,854 --> 01:50:56,232

I'm so glad you're here.

- Thanks for having me.
- Thank you.

1752
01:53:08,907 --> 01:53:12,577
- We're gonna have a fun show.
- Oh, baby, it's a killer, man. Killer!

01:53:12,660 --> 01:53:14,245
- How are you, buddy?
- Good to see you.

1754
01:53:14,329 --> 01:53:15,789

It was fun last night, wasn't it?

1756
01:53:17,457 --> 01:53:19,793
- Hey, Tom. How you doin', brother?
- Good to see you!

1757

You're looking fantastic!

1759
01:53:22,545 --> 01:53:25,089
- I stopped drinking 19 months ago.
- Did you really?

1760
01:53:25,173 --> 01:53:27,675

is totally different, then.

- Beautiful.

- So happy you're here, man.
- I'm here, ready to do the thing.

1764
01:53:33,389 --> 01:53:35,308
- You called and I came, man.
- Love you, man.

1765
01:53:36,017 --> 01:53:37,811
Hey, baby! How you doing, man?

1766
01:53:37,894 --> 01:53:39,312
So proud of you, man.

1767
01:53:39,395 --> 01:53:41,606
Whoa!

1768
01:53:42,482 --> 01:53:44,400
- All right. I came to play.
- All right.

1769
01:53:44,984 --> 01:53:45,819
On my way.

1770
01:53:47,195 --> 01:53:48,446
Heads up, five minute warning.

1771
01:53:48,947 --> 01:53:50,406
Want to practice once?

1772
01:53:50,490 --> 01:53:53,827
"It was the happening place.
We called it the Uptown Getdown."

1773
01:53:53,910 --> 01:53:55,119
- That's good.
- That's better.

1774
01:53:55,787 --> 01:53:59,541
Ladies and gentlemen,
the President of the United States,

We're here to celebrate, and laugh,
and clap along,

1779
01:54:13,388 --> 01:54:15,348
and probably even cry a little

1780
01:54:15,431 --> 01:54:19,102

of the first museum in the country

1781
01:54:19,185 --> 01:54:25,608

experience in America!

1825
01:57:07,145 --> 01:57:08,396

1829

in this generation, you know.

1830
01:57:24,871 --> 01:57:26,164
"Here's what happened."

1831
01:57:29,792 --> 01:57:33,129
It's a journey, coming up in this fucking
country, man. Chicago…

1832
01:57:37,216 --> 01:57:38,051
No joke.

1833
01:57:38,509 --> 01:57:41,054
I didn't see anybody white
till I was 11 years old.

1834
01:57:42,388 --> 01:57:44,390
And the kids, the kids' minds…

1835
01:57:45,183 --> 01:57:46,184
most of them…

1836
01:57:46,267 --> 01:57:49,562
are not into that shit,
'cause you have to be taught how to hate.

1837
01:57:50,104 --> 01:57:52,440
That's not natural,
to hate somebody because of their skin.

1838
