Quincy Jones' creative magic has spanned over six decades - as musician, producer, arranger, composer, entertainer, entrepreneur extraordinaire, he stands today as one of the most successful and admired artists in the entertainment world. Beginning with the music of the post-swing era and continuing through to today's high-technology, multi-media hybrids, Quincy's life has crossed jazz, pop, soul, TV and film.

This compelling account of an incredible life tells of Quincy's trials and tribulations as well as the countless success stories. He writes of his childhood, when his schizophrenic mother was taken away in front of him in a strait-jacket; spending the summers at his grandma's shotgun shack in Louisville eating fried rats for dinner; and his breakdown many years later, when Marlon Brando helped to nurse him in Tahiti.

In this stylish and candid story, he reveals the truth about his private life, touching on his many wives and children. His story is littered with countless anecdotes about his equally famous friends, from Miles Davies to Ray Charles, Barbra Streisand to Bill Clinton, Picasso to Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson and Will Smith. In this long-awaited autobiography of one of the most successful black entrepreneurs of our times, Quincy Jones paints the scenes he's lived, the moments he's relished and the wisdom he's picked up along the way.
