You don't tell Quincy Jones how to tell a story. He's one of the greatest producers of our time. He'll tell you the story the way he sees fit and it'll go platinum.

I could listen to that man talking all day

This guy is legendary. Legendary.

What a legend

People talk, but old people tell a story. This guy doesn't tell you what happened, he makes you feel like you were there. He also changes with the times. giving "knucks" at his age? That's how you do it.

I want to hear a full biography about his life. I can't imagine the life he's lived.

This is the best interview I've seen in a while! HAHAHAHA 😂😂😂

Just finished reading The Autobiography of Quincy Jones. So glad to find this.

Thanks Q for giving so much of yourself to us for all these years. A pure genius.

Colbert is so condescending here. Does he not realize he's talking to a national treasure? Show the man some respect!

The fantastic, loveable, admirable quintessential Quincy , my favourite musician

Just let him tell the story! haha

Quincy is “The Dude”.

Yes Q, but how did you get into MUSIC!? Hahaha, loved that 'bit'.

Quincy is the coolest cat out there!

Thank you, Mr. Colbert.....

I like his view on racism... "At the age of 19, Jones traveled with Lionel Hampton to Europe and said it turned him upside down, altering his view of racism in the US. - "It gave you some sense of perspective of past, present and future. It took the myopic conflict between just black and white in the United States and put it on another level because you saw the turmoil between the Armenians and the Turks, and the Cypriots and the Greeks, and the Swedes and the Danes, and the Koreans and the Japanese. Everybody had these hassles, and you saw it was a basic part of human nature, these conflicts. It opened my soul, it opened my mind.""

This Is the greatest ..Quincy Jones The Greatest Composer Of All Time..

Would love to sit and listen to him talk all day

This guy also produced Fresh Prince of the Bel Air! :D

Quincy is not the regular guest. He's a great interview when given the platform

My god his voice is amazing

Loved this interview. I'm making a movie about it.

Wow! I loved every minute of that interview. What a wonderful, fascinating man!

Q is a musicians musician 🙏🏾♥️

The Q tells his story on his own time. Because, OG.

Before there was Babyface, Teddy Riley, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Dr Dre, Rodney Jerkins, The Neptunes, Timbaland, Kanye West, Swizz Beatz, RZA,there was this guy. This human being here is without question the greatest music producer all of time, it's not even up for debate or any kind of discussion.

So often I hear of an artist from way back that I like a lot tell of how he or she got their start under the tutelage of Quincy Jones. Can't wait to see a biopic of his life, and I hope danged movie producers don't delay it's production until he's dead, I wanna see it soon! Thank you Quincy, for all the music. And I must add, his "The Dude" cd is on my bicycling / exercise mix on my iPod.

Quincy Jones is THE MAN.

Quincy's hilarious.

This interview needed to be 45mins minimum

I love how Stephen told him like three times "Okay back to music" and this boy right here just straight up ignored him until stephen just gave up xD

Now i want a Lemon Meringue Pie.

The programed eq on the side of the headphones actually sounds pretty cool. Awesome interview.

Thumbs up if you're young and knew that that was the "Sanford and Son" theme

This is THE OG

GENIUS!

legend

i laughed so much at Steven.. hes just natural funny

hell yea! Q-man still smokin'!

$1500 headphones. Perfect for my MP3 collection!

He’s making a movie and another album with unreleased music with Barry White, Gerald and Eddie LeVert, and a few from Mint Condition. He isn’t “Back on The Block” he’s been On The Block! 🔥

I use to message his website on MySpace to tell him that I like his writing and how he arrange all this songs. I let him know that ,I too was a Lyrics write of all song

Should've been a two-part interview

A Tale By Quincy!

I wonder have his record or entertainment Copany like my writing that I would send to their website.something from the top of my head.

This man could tell us a story about how he clipped his toenails and we'd still be waiting on his next words, twelve hours into it! An absolutely elegant gentleman.

Aww he’s so cute ❤️❤️

I dont think Stephen Colbert understood what kind of greatness was sitting next to him. Quincy Jones deserved a better intro.

legend✊

What a great man

Omg best story ever.

He has to be the cutest person on tv now :')

So far, this has got to be my most favorite super hero origins story ever!

Legend.

GREAT! GREAT!

It's a weird resemblance, but I can see some Rashida in him. Sweet man!

Who cares what he wants to talk about? The man is a national Treasure. Let him speak and teach.

After Michael Jacksons latest album Quincy Jones produced in 1987 he produced not more for a solo artist. Then Emily Bear crost his way and Quincy produced her 6th album in 2013. Emily Bear was at that moment 11 year old. when he produced that album. This is about Emily Bear and Quincy Jones. Quincy is also in this video. Emily Bear staring in Emmy Award winning special At this vodeos Emily bear play pieces from that album. Emily Bear Jazz Concert Germany (full version) Here are Both on a Hollywood Bowl concert. Hollywood Bowl - QUINCY JONES & EMILY BEAR with Gloria Estafan Patti Austin Siedah

Quincy Jones Rulessss.

that's Ann Perkins dad!

An OG selling overpriced headphones? Dre's gonna be pissed.

Best entrance in shows history

EBM Ftw Quincy !!!

my man

Besides being the person that he is! The one thing that has always been on my mind is that if you were fortunate enough to be invited into his home mr.Jones would give you ( the visitor ) a book from his own collection! A book , a book ,A BOOK! ( Let that sink in for a bit! ) great musician better yet an influence to myself and many others......happy, safe ...travels to you SIR. ,my honor , my privileged to have lived on this earth , the same time in which you ( mr.jones) did.! Adios = au voir = good bye!!✌🏿

Why are people laughing when Quincy is painting a pretty serious picture about the 1930s in Chicago?

Looks and moves so great for an 83 year old!

Imagine to be in a room with "Q" ❤️ And he looks a cross the room and ask you to join him!!!/!!? Please God Put Kali in the room with him and Rasheeda, Amazing also in also her endeavors Boss! Warm hugs Feb22,1961, love all your documentary, when I have company, I show them or encourage them to watch , That and Black Godfather Mr Avante

I bet everyone in the crowd thought they were going to get those headphones.

classy

he is music in person

In those days the 'bent noses' carried their weaponry in violin cases There's the music connection with Chicago

Q. Q for Coolest. Q. Q for top 🎩. Q. Stud. Thanks for the groves, man

AKG headphones made in Austria. proud.

Yo this reminds me so much of that video with Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin. Michael Caine would go on a rant even with the simplest questions just like Quincy Jones here. Not saying I hate it tho

great arranger. great musician. there is no doubt about this. However, I must say that I would not have expected him to greet everyone except the musicians when he entered the studio.

Wish i was as cool as quincy jones

the big man did not respond to any question lolll still love him tho

uhh colbert its Quincy just shut up and let him talk.

I was born on his birthday

He met her when she was age 7 and produce her sixth album when she was age 11. Watch the 5 Award and a EMMY Award winner for a specia about and with her how s=he started as professional concert pianist & composer. - Copy and paste this video tittle - 5 Year Old Amazing Piano Prodigy Emily Made Music History as Professional Concert Pianist & Composer

That intro dance lol made Quincy look inebriated.

Watch his interview with khalid lmfao up when you do

Stephen Colbert should show more respect. Nobody next to Quincy Jones. Let the man speak Colbert. Listeeeeeen

Triste que aún siendo leyenda tenga que ir a vender un par de audífonos ... será muy grande pero tiene que promocionar un producto

Only a year after having a stroke he went to Switzerland, England, France, Georgia, Sweden and came back and *did this interview* just before he held the big event at the African American Museum. It's no wonder he can't stay focused during this interview

Young people just don't comprehend how recent it was that apartheid basically existed in the US.

Oooo Lord ... when he came in 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Better joke ever!!! 😂😂😂 Grandpa talking to MUCH!!!

Colbert needs to hold his horses and realize who he's talking to

Lisa Holmes is not a ghost writwr for anyone I have not sign any contract with any Production Company. not yet.I am looking to be a writer for music and television but all that write is being publish without my say so. I catch them when on commercials or television.

Did those headphones really win 1st place at CES?? That's insane

@ivery5000 👠👠 Quincy Jones is the most-awarded Music Producer, with a total of 27 Grammys

Wow that was short

So disappointing to hear Colbert interrupting Quincy. It was like having a shock jock interview Beethoven. The man is literally the Einstein of 20th century music and Colbert won’t let him finish a sentence.

that intro song was on family guy lol!

Hello Quincy, what ever happen to that sound healed the sick and raise the dead?
