Quincy reflects on "The makings of Thriller" (new interview)

It's so ridiculous to speak bad of Quincy Jones. Q opened up Michael's genius. You've got to realize, Quincy Jones isn't your typical music producer. He just doesn't make "beats". Q is an orchestra conductor. He's written with Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles. Quincy wrote the theme songs for several TV shows like Sanford and Son and Ironside. What I'm saying is, he taught Michael about strings, when to add horns..symphonic additions that make songs timeless...you feel me? The things that make music so complex, yet sound so simple.

Michael realizes Quincy's genius. However, most people on this board are Michael lovers and not Quincy lovers. We should all take the time to realize Quincy's genius. It's no coincidence that Michael's 3 biggest albums were the Quincy produced ones.

Michael learned from the best. He studied James Brown's and Jackie Wilson's style and perfected it in creating his dance. He studied Berry Gordy's and Quincy's production and created the MJ sound.

If Q wants to give his opinion of Jackson, let him. We've all done it and we're on the outside looking in. Q has actually earned the rights to his opinions. Let's be thankful for his contribution to music history.

thank you. and on that hazy personal level, i hope people realise that maybe Michael isn't the angel many seem to portray him as. just maybe, Q had a good reason for his opinions. but no one knows, so i say let it go.
 
I agree arXter and also with tupacavelli4life's post


I guess this is no different than the way folks behave when there's a hint that Michael has a lady friend.. there's always that :eek: "Oh how dare SHE, she's not good enough for him" :lol:

I see what you mean but you know how forgiving michael is , he can,t help it its from his heart. He must really love Q and thats likely the reason . Did he really say a lot of bad things i,m not sure . Anyways seems like he wanted to see him so he did. Its nice he went and saw Q do you think that maybe Michael just wanted to mend fences if tthere was any to mend i really don,t know just glad they had a nice visit for what ever reason. see yeh:)
