Trivia
In a 2018 interview, Alan Hicks described how he came to be involved in the film: "Our journey with Quincy Jones, he was involved with Keep on Keepin' On (2014), which is my first film. We got to know each other through that, and once that had finished, I met his daughter Rashida Jones and we've become good friends. She had already started on this documentary kind of by filming him piece by piece, and she came up and asked me if I would co-direct the film with her. We said yes and all of sudden we started following Quincy, Rashida and I and two camera guys (a guy called Adam Hart and another bloke named Rory Marx Anderson), and we followed him for three years filming. We filmed 800 hours worth of vérité footage, which is a lot. Then we also collected 2,000 hours of archival footage."

A God Among Men and A True Workhorse!

Quincy Jones is a god among men, and has done so much for not only the Black experience, music experience, film experience, and American experience, but the world experience! This documentary informed me very well of who this man is, and all of his amazing achievements! He is so interwoven into the fabric of almost everything in the entertainment industry that it is crazy! He got so many people started including but not limited to: Michael Jackson, Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith! Mr Jones has done so much for Black people and just people everywhere by simply doing what he does best! He is a workhorse who doesn't stop until his tasks are done, and he has taken on so many tasks that most of us would deem impossible. The man is over 80 years of age and still travelling the world and setting up earth shattering events! This man has truly done it all! Please do yourself a favor and watch this highly attention encapsulating and awesome documentary that not only informs you of the history behind the man, but also takes you on an interesting journey through American history; especially that of the African American and entertainment industry.
