Music legend Quincy Jones didn’t appreciate accusations that he sold out when he moved from jazz to pop music.
The singer says, “You better know how to sell out and have something to sell.”
This is just one subject, among many, that Jones broaches in his new book Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones, according to the Associated Press.
See, it’s tough being a pop star.
“Seven hundred miles a night for years. Traveling on that band bus. Seventy gigs in just the Carolinas…and get stranded with a big band in Europe, and some sucker is gonna come talk to me about sellin’ out. Please.”
Jones‘ book also recalls his childhood and family life, although he told the Los Angeles Times he’s never before “looked back” because he doesn’t “want to see that stuff.”
