Media / RIP "This blessed artist commanded the stage with the grace of an antelope"
Posted by Eric Grandy on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 11:05 AM
Quincy Jones on—what else?—Michael Jackson. An antelope, ladies and gentlemen.
Also, on QJ and MJ being excellent to each other:
At rehearsals with the cast, during the part where the scarecrow is pulling proverbs from his stuffing, Michael kept saying "So-Crates" instead of "Socrates." After about the third time, I pulled him aside and told him the correct pronunciation. He looked at me with these big wide eyes and said, "Really?" and it was at that moment that I said, "Michael, I'd like to produce your album."

I attended my graduation ceremony last year because Quincy Jones was the speaker. I was disappointed by the lack of sentiment akin to what you have addressed here. Instead he simply got us to hold hands, repeat some affirmations, and advised us all to take up Chinese and Arabic.
