Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Samon Jodi After the Show Podcast.
Thanks for hanging out with us a little bit longer.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
With the news today that we mentioned and what you've
seen everywhere that music producer, genius musician Quincy Jones passed away.
I knew that we would do this in the After
the Show podcast, mainly because Murphy.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I'm fanatical about him. So he was ninety one years old,
and you know, he was still active up until literally
maybe a year ago where he could he had a
little bit of trouble getting around, but he was still
very much in the process with music, keeping a lot
of the great music alive and working with new artists.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
You know, his career spanned over fifty years. He was
nominated for seventy nine Grammys and won twenty seven of
them for his work as a band leader, composer, and arranger.
Of course, we know that he worked in the fifties
and sixties with Frank Sinatra, count Basie, Duke Ellington and
of course famous Lea with Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
For this among a million, it seems like a million
Michael Jackson songs for us.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I don't know if you guys feel the same, but
He's always been around music in my lifetime. It was
just the name always had such respect as.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Being, you know, kids of the eighties. I mean his
name was I remember actually when I was a little
kid and a record would come out, it would say
Quincy Jones featuring and he's he was really the producer
of it. He didn't necessarily, you know, sing the song
or whatever, so because it was a Quincy Jones production.
But the documentary and I would say that if you're
(01:43):
any kind of music lover and you're not familiar with him,
this is worth it. You're talking about somebody who was
an incredibly important part of the pop and R and
B scene, and like Jodi said, starting with Sinatra, you know,
and Bassie. And he actually got his formal schooling overseas
with a classically trained pianist I think, or could have
been a violinist. He went to France to study, you know,
(02:07):
the production in the development of music and all the
it's not music science. Music theory is where he really,
you know, learned all of that and so he understood
what it was that was being created.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And we know that's because we watched the documentary. It
was a twenty eighteen documentary on Netflix. I believe it
is still there to me this week. It's going to
be trending now sure. And it was a really good
documentary put together by his daughter.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I would like to have you meet one of the
finest musicians that I've ever known, mister Quincy Jones.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
That was great.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah, here, I've been good.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
My ultimate mentor espiration, Quincy Jones born almost survivor. The
whole life has been like that. Yeah, Saber Chicago in
the thirties, man and dream depression. I wanted to be
a gangster till I was eleven. You want to be
what you see, and that's all we ever saw.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It's a I mean, I want to say, it took
us a few nights to watch it. It's very in
depth but very good. Like sometimes a longer documentary will
not be editive enough to keep your attention. Sorry to say,
but our attention spans being what they are. But it
took us several nights to watch it, but every bit
of it was good and interesting.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, and you don't think about how somebody's career can
span fifty and sixty years and being so influential. I remember,
so I was so familiar with this music, a lot
of his R and B music. I did not realize
that he produced one of the biggest songs of nineteen
sixty three, which is this song very much a pop song,
(03:47):
It's My Party, which was a number one song. And
her name is Leslie Gore. And you remember this from
the documentary Jodi, where he was walking through the rock
and roll hit the museum. I don't know if it
was the Rock and Roll Museum in Cleveland or which
museum had a display up. It might have been about
(04:07):
all of his music. It could have been the you know,
the rock.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I don't remember this part of the documentary.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
But you know, it's he was kind of he was
being Wheelerne and he says, oh, Leslie Gore, because she
passed away. I don't know how long ago, maybe ten
years ago, and I think she was all of maybe
fourteen fifteen years old when he produced her. But he
thinks of that time very very fondly, you know, and
probably because that was one of his biggest hits, you
know of them. And then I also did not realize
as a kid growing up watching Sandford and Son. Yeah,
(04:33):
now he wrote that theme song.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
That game song is iconic to this day. When I
hear that, it makes me happy. It makes me know
him about the last me too. Yeap, Oh my gosh,
I can tell you the whole truck sequence.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Well, the thing is about this song is that's really
a full song too.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, you're just used to the thirty seconds or sixty
second show intro, right, the whole song.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, it's a special songs. It's so special. His love
was music, and he was just a buttoned up person.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
In other words, a lot of people love music, but
are you disciplined enough to be buttoned up enough and
patient enough with people? The place where I noticed his
patience Murphy was when we watched the We Are the
World documentary. Oh how patient he was that night with
all of those egos in the room.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
He handled it too, because that was his baby too.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, you could see how masterful he was, you know,
with that. And again that's another documentary that if if
you weren't a child of the eighties, but you've heard
of We Are the World, that's worth going back to watch.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Too, because and if you were a child of the eighties, especially.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Because I mean, I don't think anything has been done
like that sense to coordinate that many superstars in one
recording studio, and they all had this mad respect for him,
so they actually followed along what he was asking do
I can't only somebody with that kind of you know,
pedigree like Quincy Jones had could pull off something like that.
(06:08):
And I think that's one reason I never knew all
of the intricacies behind that song, you know, until we
saw that documentary was put together. Okay, so that's another
one to you know, to watch. Going back to so
in the seventies, there was a group called the Brothers Johnson.
I actually didn't know that he produced them either. He
was seemed like he produced any major R and B
(06:28):
song that you know, was a huge hit.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
This was behind the scenes sort of person. Even though
he became famous in his own right household name.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
In the nineteen eighties. He produced all the music everywhere.
So George George Benson give me the night, you know, Yeah,
exactly special sound. These are all just great, I mean,
just great songs. And then of course all of his
Michael Jackson stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, and he realized was the one special, you know,
talent he had, but he wanted to do what he
wanted to do with it.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
They say, that's why.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And I'm trying to remember it was that the Magic
Year that he was holding there's a famous picture of
him holding all the Grammy Awards that he had, Michael
or Quincy Quincy, it was holding like ten Grammy Awards
in his arms.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
And that so it was either after that album which
you know, Don't Stop Till You Get Enough, was on
Off the Wall, Off the Wall, Yeah, exactly in nineteen
seventy nine or eighty, and then I'm pretty sure he
was back up on stage when the Grammy's after Thriller,
And you know, why wouldn't he be right exactly?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, what we need to do. And I know you're
not opposed to rewatching a documentary. There was so much
information in a couple of nights that we just you know, Inhaled,
I think you should. We should run it again. We
should watch it again. You would like it, you know
what on Netflix?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Did you ever see it?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Sam?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
A little personal.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
He was married three times, leaves behind seven children, including
Quincy Jones the third who was also music producer, following
in those footsteps, and then Rashida actress Mashida as you
mentioned her seven children and by the way they say
that he was. We know he was at home when
(08:12):
he passed away this weekend and he was surrounded by family.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, I think i'd heard at one point he had
type two diabetes and you know, I mean that becomes
and I know that he was trying to manage that.
But you know, there's just there is a wealth. Even
if you don't, you should absolutely watch that documentary if
you haven't seen it. But you know, anything that you
find on YouTube. Even in through the early two thousands,
he was still touring with a lot of his music overseas.
(08:37):
There was a renaissance for a lot of his music.
And I'm trying to remember if it was in Japan
or wherever it was. That was an Asian tour that
he was doing. And James Ingram, who passed away also
a couple of years ago saying one hundred ways and
just once in those songs, that was another Grammy Award winning.
That also might have been that year that Quincy was
(08:58):
holding all of the you know the yeah right right,
But as somebody just I'm a music lover in case
you can't tell, and I mean to me, when somebody
reaches that stature and they just consistently, one song after another.
From a production standpoint too, because you're talking about many
many artists, you know what I mean, many many musical
(09:20):
genres that he influenced, and he was just great at it,
and you don't always hear those kinds of names.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
He was aspiring.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
It is very inspiring and so great documentary, great thing
for you to go YouTube, and he certainly will be missed.
We know that he was ninety one, but you know.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Sam just looked it up for us.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
All the name of the documentary is just simply Quincy missed.
