Quincy Jones Says He Refused To Work With Elvis Presley Because He Was Racist

[smallworld]

Quincy hardly fits my definition of an "historian"... These days, he's more like a bitter old man seeking attention with statements and opinions that are highly questionable and often contradicted...

And those who seek to prove him wrong should do so, hopefully without resorting to insults.


Further to the Sly/Day claims. Jet magazine had an interview with Sly Stone in their issue of October 3rd, 1974. The following is stated:

He has three Mercedez Benz autos [[one, a present from his friend, actress Doris Day)

The quote is from page 60 of the issue. It can be read on Google Books.

Doris Day sure was generous to someone she allegedly met only once...

Poor Q...Can't finish a sentence without the word "M-'F**ker... Asked about his greatest innovation, his response is "Everything I've done"... Claims he KNOWS Sam Giancana had JFK killed... If he knows and talks about it, you'd think he'd present at least a shred of evidence???... Just Q being Q...Exquisite arranger and producer who has obviously had many experiences with many people, but that does not an "historian" make... Many people in the industry believe he's gone off the deep end, but there are people who will, and have the right to believe anything they read, especially from someone they admire...I'll leave it at that...

I never made a claim that Jones is a historian. My response was to a comment about what might best be left unsaid.
