CNBC TITANS #10: Quincy Jones To Premiere On Thursday, July 21st At 10PM & 1AM ET
Quincy Jones (Premieres Thursday, July 21st):
Jazz musician, arranger, the first black executive of a major record company, producer, entrepreneur, and social activist, Quincy Jones is a one person history of the entertainment industry over the past 60 years, going from be-bop to hip-hop.
With more Grammy nominations and awards than anyone else alive, he produced the biggest selling album of all time, Michael Jackson's Thriller, and the landmark We Are The World. As a film and TV producer, he introduced the world to Oprah Winfrey in The Color Purple and Will Smith in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Jones' life-many of his greatest accomplishments happened after recovering from a near fatal brain aneurism-is one of the great African-American success stories.
