Quincy Jones Interview Part 1 of 2
Ok. I have a dilemma. Probably the most played VHS tape in the history of mankind, my copy of “Ghostbusters”, has a few minutes of stuff at the end of it: a few commercials (Not enough for a volume by itself) and a totally rad interview with Quincy Jones conducted by Ed Bradley on 60 Minutes. So I thought I’d present a few minutes of unedited 80′s TV goodness. This all aired on December 8th, 1985 on CBS. 1. Mazda 626 (With James Garner!) 2. Promo for “Murder She Wrote” and “Circus Of The Stars” (With Bea Arthur, Dick Clark, Merv Griffin and Burt Lancaster) 3. 60 Minutes (About his early career with Lionel Hampton’s band playing trumpet, and his career as a music producer on albums like “Off The Wall” and “Thriller”)
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Angela Lansbury– omg- im old– still an MJ fan though– love him always!
It’s amusing that CBS was still promoting “Murder, She Wrote”‘s Emmy nominations some three months after the ceremony.
Dick Clark and Merv Griffin I can understand hosting “Circus of the Stars”, but Bea Arthur and Burt Lancaster? Surely they had better things to do.
Those are some gigantic sunglasses MJ is sporting.
@Mexymillion “The Lady In My Life”. It’s from a little-known album called “Thriller”.
Ed Bradley even mentions it by name at 4:35.
Does somebody know the name of the song at 05:26?
Thanks for posting this. As mentioned, So many good things going on in this video —
1) a new Mazda for only 9645??? LOL
2) Lenny! from Law and Order (Jerry Orbach, RIP) in the commercial for Murder She Wrote
3) Burt Lancaster! (RIP) in the Circus commercial
4) Of course, last but not least Michael Jackson (RIP) and Ed Bradley (RIP)
Man, can we have the 80s back? LOL.
And I mean the commercials. Quincy Jones and MJ created nothing short of magic.
How 80s!

1:37….love that song.
He made a great score for ‘The Color Purple’
He did beg the hell outta that track.
