I have never heard of Q turning her down other then for the rca debut album. It seems odd as i rather thought they were friends.
Agreed. I think for much of the RCA period, weren't her daughters in boarding school? I definitely get the family angle once she married and then was pregnant back to back. But most of the RCA stuff wasn't released during that period. She wanted to be on top of everything, which is understandable, but she wasn't qualified for the job. Her legacy took a hit.

My understanding the Quincy issue is that he was at least considered for the RCA debut but was in the middle of producing someone else, Patti Austin I believe. I don't think he ever just turned Diana down just to turn her down.
