maybe he was trying to motivate her, q is the type to play games, not that i'd make excuses for the fuck. at any rate, when q was speaking of a diva who was lazy after MJ died, saying that MJ was like night and day compared to this unnammed diva, i could only assume he was speaking of donna summer. Maybe he had his reasons. | |

Oh yea his spoken at lenght... Bio says a lot. This outrage this week, next week nobody will remember or care waht Q said. That's the way things function now-uh-days. | |

yeah,they say that he was trying to motivate Donna to get the best vocals from her,but she was pregnant at the time and was dealing with alot of issues.Quincy should have been more understanding/supportive. | |

maybe in private he's always been like that but publicly, he used to be mum on anything negative, just look at all the old interviews, he says nothing but glowing things about everyone. btw, what did patti austin have to say? of course, i know he's all ego but he used to be a diplomat. she would speak on how mean-spirited he was... her weight was somewhat of an issue, and he would make disrespectful and profane comments to her face and behind her back about her appearance...and plenty of talk about his love of both white women and white men... So he was hittin Brando too huh? I bet they had orgies. How can Quincy diss Joe and he was doing the same thing? Quincy better be glad people have the tact he doesn’t. [Edited 2/11/18 12:49pm] | |

She was going through a tough time back then.An album that she recorded in 1981 titled I'm A Rainbow,was rejected by her record company.They paired her with Quincy to make a 'replacement' album.Considering all that,the last thing she needed to deal with was an egotistical producer with an attitude | |

Quincy once particpated in a book that focussed on the work of Marlon Brando called Brando's Smile: His Life, Thought And Work by Susan L. Mizruchi (2014) and wrote the following:
"An IMPORTANT new book on Marlon Brando, my BELOVED brother since 1951. It really makes him sing."
It was the first book about the actor since his death that didn't repeat the usual tabloid crap, it was how his craft and his social work influenced each other, and now what does Quincy do? He throws him under the bus. Why because the dead can't defend themselves. Beloved brother my ass! [Edited 2/11/18 18:48pm] Keep Calm & Listen To Prince | |

rita moreno says he about drove her crazy too, he was gifted for sure, i saw a great docu on him about a year ago, the guy was gifted, probably too gifted in acting/film to the point where he didn't really want to do it. Very influential too, there hasn't been a major actor I can think of, I mean, our real top guys, deniro, Pacino, Dean, who haven't mimiced him at some point or another. He's still fucking crazy though, the stories around him are crazy too, his son once called him evil and said he walked in his room once and everything in there was floating because of his black magic. | |

I loved Rita Moreno's book which I highly recommend Keep Calm & Listen To Prince | |

the docu i saw was funny, i love how he talks about his dad, that really cracked me up because family dynamic are really that fucked up. Some people say when Dean died that we lost two great actors because brando had no one to push him for his best work. I was always a dean fan myself, he's not as highly regarded as an actor i don't think but he had the charisma. Brando kinda rubbed me wrong with some of the stuff he did, the racial stuff, the putting the indian girl out there, the vocalness on issues where, maybe he should have shuttup. And of course, i never liked that he hated Jimmy Dean. | |

I love James Dean too [Edited 2/11/18 20:14pm] Keep Calm & Listen To Prince | |

i got that book, he didn't like Elvis either, which was ironic because dean and elvis practically worshipped brando. | |

And he didn't like Bogart and Gable......and their connect-the dots acting technique. My fav quotes about Hollywood is on Chapter 57......"In the movie business there is a crude but amusing saying: The way to say 'fuck you' in Hollywood is "trust me." Keep Calm & Listen To Prince | |

gotta say, an interesting dude, funny as hell too, if you never heard quincy's anectdote about brando teaching q's son how to act, you should try to find it, it's funny as hell. | |

That was a great story too .......in Rita's book she talked about dating Elvis and how she found him to be boring compared to Brando

ya, great story, hate q but that was a good one. dude can tell a story. makes brando sound like a real character. Elvis probably was boring, he was basically a simple guy, quiet, not particularly cultured compared to a lot of people. Some people have gone so far as to call him dull, that was never true I don't think. I'm sure compared to a lunatic like brando he's boring, women often complain about good guys being boring and end up with wackos. | |

I don't know about that but I do remember reading in the press at the time that Donna was paired with Quincy to get back on black radio and to appease that audience. Her R&B fanbase felt abandoned when she released "The Wanderer". "I'm A Rainbow" included some R&B songs but nothing as strong and funky as "Love Is In Control". "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.!

Patti made some terrific albums on the Qwest label that really didn't go anywhere. When she released "The Heat of Heat", produced by Jam & Lewis, it was one of her most successful singles yet, the label passed on a music video. I didn't know Quincy had an issue with her weight so that explains more why she was ignored when she was on his label. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

Was "She Works Hard for the Money" before Quincy because I remember hearing that song on RnB radio. Not her fault she came along in the disco era.

"Money" was 1983 (#1 Biilboard R&B). The Quincy Jones produced album was in 1982. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

I guess that to some, cross dressing equal queer which equals getting fucked. Look at how they judged Prince | |
