QUINCY JONES IS ALWAYS OUT OF CROWN HE IS VERY GREAT TOUCHING PERFECT PRODUCING SHOW YOU EVERY SINGLE LITTLE DETAIL IN THE RECORED I SLAUT HIM AND RESPECT HIS MAGICAL WORK

Just finished watching it and I never ever stop being amazed of the music history and legiends he has worked with. Sad to know the people in that movie of the legends who speak highly of him, including MJ are no longer here... I also liked how he kept it real about his relationships and marriages and personal & mental health impacted his career.

This is enlightening to anyone who's ever been a fan or can appreciate the music of Michael Jackson, The Brothers Johnson, Chaka Chan, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, or Dinah Washington. Quincy transcends musical excellence and in this film, it gives some insight into how the man became the man he is; and, also some musical insight into what brought him there.

The cool cat with nine lives is music legend Quincy Jones.

From humble beginnings on rough streets to icon status on Fifty-Second Street, Jones takes us back to the beginning and SHOWS us (doesn't just TELL us) his life story in this lush, musical and incredibly creative documentary. Flmmaker Ellen Wiesbrod gets so close to Quincy Jones, capturing so many moods and rememberances, that you can almost hear him think and breathe and grieve. Like great jazz, the film itself jumps with raw energy. One of the most creative pieces of moviemaking I've watched in a long time--and it's a decade old! Well worth digging up the VHS player to experience. Five stars.
