At 77 years young, Quincy Jones is less shy than ever about giving his unbridled opinion. Thank the music gods!
Us: Did you pick the songs?
QJ: The artists did it. They decided on what they liked and what they wanted to do.
Us: The Mary J. Blige version of "Betcha Wouldn't Hurt Me" is hot!
QJ: Oh yeah, I've known her since she was a little girl. She's the best. I opened up my mind and just let everybody play.
Us: What was it like to hear Amy Winehouse sing "It's My Party" on this disc? She still sounds amazing, and it's great to see her back.
QJ: Absolutely right. She kept her word and did the song. Everybody gave everything they had. I'm so proud of my all young brothers and sisters.
Us: "Thriller" was done by T-Pain and Robin Thicke -- in a different way, obviously.
QJ: Auto-tune! Well, we had to with T-Pain. I go back to 1963 when nobody knew what it was!
Us: Speaking of Michael Jackson, some of his old stuff is being released now as a new album. Thoughts?
