Quincy

There are only two kind of music... and 'Quincy' is about the good one.. Great documentary about amazing human.

What a man, what a career, a fantastic journey through the decades and music genres. A true legend in his field

This is a fitting retrospective of one of music's heroes. Quincy Jones is a giant of creativity - and as a music writer myself I gained so much from the little wise asides and musings that constantly crop up from past recorded interviews and in his narration .. It's an astounding story of a life well lived, and worth watching for recognition of his incredible contribution to art, culture, politics and charity. The fact he's a fallible human with a warm heart makes it even more enjoyable a ride.

The film was made with his daughter Rashida at the helm - which adds to the beauty of the tale in my eyes: family is hugely important to Quincy.

Any critic wishing there had been more dishing of the dirt is missing the point (I'm looking at you Charles Bramesco).

Great film - make sure you can hear it well, as the soundtrack is golden.

This is an excellent movie about a remarkable man, his music, and the the other artists that he affected and was affected by. However, Karen Carpenter should have been mentioned. She had arguably the most beautiful voice of her generation. Moreover, her life was wonderful and heartbreakingly tragic at the same time. I know that they interacted and because of that there should have been at least one shot of her in this movie. She lost out because she has been somewhat forgotten.

Nevertheless, it is a movie worth watching and his longevity has provided the filmmakers with so much material. It is almost a masterpiece.

Quincy Jones is a god among men, and has done so much for not only the Black experience, music experience, film experience, and American experience, but the world experience! This documentary informed me very well of who this man is, and all of his amazing achievements! He is so interwoven into the fabric of almost everything in the entertainment industry that it is crazy! He got so many people started including but not limited to: Michael Jackson, Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith! Mr Jones has done so much for Black people and just people everywhere by simply doing what he does best! He is a workhorse who doesn't stop until his tasks are done, and he has taken on so many tasks that most of us would deem impossible. The man is over 80 years of age and still travelling the world and setting up earth shattering events! This man has truly done it all! Please do yourself a favor and watch this highly attention encapsulating and awesome documentary that not only informs you of the history behind the man, but also takes you on an interesting journey through American history; especially that of the African American and entertainment industry.
