Also, the story behind "We Are The World". There was part that Quincy recalled about the making of Thriller and his time with Michael Jackson. Thank you Quincy for bringing out the best of Michael Jackson and many other artists. I do admire the man and his genius work. But the truth that I bough this book because of Michael Jackson.
I purchased this book with a birthday present gift card. He defies stereotypes for African American musicians, yet he is quintessentially African American. The personal memorabilia that he has placed in the book is reproduced so well, that it seems like you actually have the real things at your disposal. I am a great admirer of Mr.
I highly recommend the book to all fans of Quincy Jones, and to those who want to get a glimpse of how he collaborated with musicians and entertainers across all genres. He has embraced and arranged/composed for all musical mediums. I have several biographies on musicians and this is by far the best one. I would also recommend the book to young musicians who aspire to greatness, they can get a glimpse of how great a life a musician and a committed humanitarian can have. The combination of pictures, writing, and memorabilia help to create an "experience" that goes beyond just reading a bio, or just looking at a coffee table book. It is beyond fabulous.
He has no limits to his reach and creativity. "Q" is most definitely an American Icon and a national treasure. I was so excited when I purchased the book and I was not disappointed at all. Jones because he is not only a musician and producer, but also, a composer and arranger.
All the little extras really make it feel like his own personal scrapbook. Fantastic book. What an amazing man.
If you know of and love Quincy jones you will love this book. The history here is incredible.
Apparently this man knows everyone as the pictures, letters and stories tell about in detail. The photos are awesome. Any music fan should have this because it is not just Q's history but music's history as well. This book is the most complete rewind of Quincy Jones' life I have seen. Every page has some tidbit of information that the average person didn't know.
