Q : The Autobiography of Quincy Jones

Rating:
Summary: a great read about a great man
Review: the book was very inspirational especially the last chapters in the book...this man is a genius...he wasted no time in following his dreams...it is amazing that he started with the superstars of that day when he was only a very young teenager!!! YOU can feel quincy jone's spirit and he is a very positive person from what i can feel from his music alone!!!! the parts of the book that described his bad childhood and the absence of his mom is heartbreaking and disturbing because she was alive and always wanted to see her children, but her mental illness destroyed the relationship and scared quincy, his brother lloyd and his dad their entire lives...something none of them ever got over...i found the part about his seeing his young son's dire condition in europe and his not doing much about it...yet this action bothers quincy to this day...he is still human and still saved his only son just in time...bless him and all that read this book

Summary: "Q" The Autobiography of Quincy Jones
Review: This is an excellent read for any music fan. It is filled with great stories chronicling not only one black man's experience in the music industry, but it also chronicles the history of "popular" music in the U.S. and Europe.
