I'm a young 'n but im still up w/ my old skool movies, music etc., but i didn't know that info about Tina Turner. Thats crazy but I kinda get where she was coming from. Quincy Jones is the man and to get a little more insight about him was great. Thanks for the interview.

Amanda, That was a very nice interview of the great Quincy Jones, but it was too short. You should invite him back again for another one.

I'm launching two campaigns:
1) The "Shoot The Spark in This Studio Every Episode Because it Deserves It" Campaign; and
2) The "Get Amanda Diva on Television Because...Well...You Know" Campaign
We need to work on the names of said campaigns, but we're focused. Sign up below.

Tina Turner has been an inspiration to me, but I have been reading and hearing too much about her not wanting to be involved with Black people. Quincy just said that she told him that she didn't want to be involved in a Black film. Her musicians and background singers have been mostly White since she went solo. Even Ike said that she don't be around any of the Black people that they knew and worked with. And Tina said herself that she wanted to do Rock and Roll instead of R&B because R&B is mostly sung by Black people and it is depressing music. I do believe that Tina has a problem with connecting with Black people. And that doesn't make me feel too good about her.

You would be surprised at the amount of Black celebs who have disowned their heritage and their own people because they've "made it" !
Anyone from athletes to media personalities ! They've made it from the ghetto and think they have risen above their Blackness !
O.J. Simpson tried this and we all know what happened to him !
