Quincy’s blessing
Quincy Jones had no qualms about being portrayed in the movie…or if he did, he had gotten over them by the time he was approached about it. He told the filmmakers to just “go for it.”Just like Jamie and Ray Charles, Larenz Tate was able to spend a nice chunk of time with musical genius Quincy Jones, the man he would portray in the film. The two spent so much time together that Tate referred to him as a friend after the movie had been made. Still, he hoped that his portrayal would make Quincy proud.
