Quincy Jones RIP

I love how he knocked out the lyrics for Get A Bloomin Move On (the Self Preservation Society from The Italian Job) as a laugh
http://www.theitalianjob.com/the_film_soundtrack.htm

Get a Bloomin’ Move On (or The Self-Preservation Society as it is sometimes referred to) originated from old East End tunes like My Old Man’s a Dustman. Quincy had a fascination with Cockney rhyming slang, he found it very funny and apparently created it for the amusement of the production team.

Interesting article here on his working methods (from 2010 admittedly).

Quite enjoyed the interviewers incredulous reaction to Quincy saying he doesn’t like Taylor Swift

Crazy isn’t it? Within a couple of weeks his daughters had made him publicly apologise and pledge not to spill the beans on people again!

Nah I don’t like him

Some people would be judgmental about having lunch with someone who was so closely involved with the Nazi Party.

“Oh, give me a fucking break, man, please. This is a human being, man. And a very special human being. It was never political. It was about her passion for her profession.”
