The Golden Age Celebrities Who Are Still Kicking Life
Quincy Jones – 88 Years
Anytime the name ‘Quincy Jones’ is called, it’s either an ovation succeeds it or we are reminded of certain transgenerational music pieces or movies that nourished our souls richly and tenderly. He is not just a torchbearer in the African-American community, but a Picasso-esque figure in the world of song composition and film-making.
An award-laden career singles him out from his contemporaries. He is the mastermind behind the songs ‘Miss Celie’s Blues’ from the film ‘The Colour Purple’ that he produced, ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ with the great Frank Sinatra and the very popular charity single ‘We Are the World’; among others. His 2011 National Media of Arts finally adorns his career.
