| When I was four, I got a record player for Christmas. This one: https://djcj.website/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/denim_turnta... My mom had a copy of Ray Charles' greatest hits. My favorite song was One Mint Julep. Quincy Jones did the arrangement. You can see by the wear on this record how much I listened to that song, as well as "Unchain My Heart" and "Hit the Road Jack." https://djcj.website/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/one-mint-jul... So much great music. And when you watch interviews with other musicians with whom he crossed paths, they all talk about what an uplifting and positive influence he had on their lives. Here's a interview with his longtime collaborator Tom Bähler. He has some really beautiful stories about his experiences with Quincy. https://youtu.be/yIkP_XuIDeY?t=5197 And when he got together with Rod Temperton, the magic was next-level. https://www.facebook.com/QuincyJones/posts/ill-never-forget-... |
