My beloved Q. The world’s beloved Q. The one and only Quincy Jones “discovered” me for “The Color Purple” movie in 1985.
My life changed forever for the better after meeting him.
I had never experienced, nor have since, anyone who’s heart was so filled with love.
He walked around with his heart wide open, and he treated everybody as if they were the most important person he’d ever met. He was the Light. No shadows.
He was love lived out loud in human form and he was the first person I ever loved unconditionally. That’s how we signed all our notes to each other, “Unconditionally…”
This photo is one of my favorite of us. I was at his home in Bel Air in 2001 to interview him about his prolific career, the family that completed him, and the life he still had ahead. He was the Mightiest of Souls. His life enhanced mine and every life he touched. That will be his global legacy.
Biggest, fullest, most love-filled life ever. One of One!
