Voice-Over Intro Quincy Jones Interview #1 / Quincy Jones Interview #1

Thriller Producer Quincy discusses the recording of the song Someone In The Dark
 From the E.T. Storybook
 We got kinda trapped on-, on Thriller because, we had about four months to do it
 Which isn't a long time on an album, when you're following ten million albums, you know
 Because excuse me, that stuff does affect your head, you know
 And there is no spiritual way to connect with and say
 We're gonna make a bigger album than that, you can't
 You have to do something that gives you goosebumps and says
 "Yeah, man that really turns me on," because if you get turned on a lot
 You got a chance of somebody else getting turned on
 You just-, I still have to go with um, God's dividing rod
 You know, which is a goosebumps and everything else, and-
 And so, we had to do E.T. first, that's what we got in trouble with
 Because we had to do the E.T. Storybook
 'Cause I had just met Stephen and I introduced Michael to Stephen Spielberg
 When I met Spielberg, he was doing E.T. at Laird
 And I was doing Thriller with Michael
 And so, we were really cross-pollinated everything, you know
 He was coming over to the sessions, I was coming over to Laird
 Michael was going over there and Michael loved what that was about
 And um, it was a fever
 And ironically, we were both making two huge pieces of stuff, you know, at the time
 But did nobody knew, you know, you never know
 Um, the song for E.T.? Peas, you gon' love it
 That's why there's still that group of people writing
 Some of them drop down, um, that-, that combination
 I was gonna say one of the most rewarding parts of it is
 After having worked with so many heavy people, you know
 Is to put combi-, congress-combinations together
 That really locks me up, you know, and put somebody
 As-, as heavy as Alan and Marilyn and Rob together, it will spark
 It's gonna fly, it's gonna happen
 So, we were just gonna do the song first
 This was this new love affair between Stephen and I
 And so, we did the song, great, we're through, said
 "I know, man, please do the whole album," and I said, "Stephen!"
 And we had to take um, the biggest film in the history of the cinema
 Successful and visual, and reduce it to an oral version
 40 minute version for people that had never heard it before
 That was still understandable, I said-
