Empowerment

One of popular music's most talented black producer, Quincy Jones, this narrative on his life gives a look into a past universe of entertainment and the tradition of prejudice that black artists actually wrestle with today. [3]

The film shows when he's singled out in front of an audience by Frank Sinatra, filling in as the Chairman's twentysomething arranger during the '60s. Follows him poring over film reels and writing down tunes as he becomes famous as a film writer, getting one of the primary black artists to do as such. It shows him in the studio with Jackson, whose accomplishment under Jones' support transformed the famous producer into an international celebrity.[4]

Controversy

On the documentary, Jones is also open about the prejudice he looked out and about, similar to when he played a town which had as of late lynched a person of color before Jones and his men showed up—they depended on their white transport driver to get food, as people of color couldn't enter restaurants. Film composer Henry Mancini reviews a period as well when awhen a film maker contacted him to check whether Mancini would suggest employing Jones for a potential project. The producer was not sure whether or not black people can create such a good movie.[3]
