Quincy Jones Interview Part 1 of 2

Ok. I have a dilemma. Probably the most played VHS tape in the history of mankind, my copy of "Ghostbusters", has a few minutes of stuff at the end of it: a few commercials (Not enough for a volume by itself) and a totally rad interview with Quincy Jones conducted by Ed Bradley on 60 Minutes. So I thought I'd present a few minutes of unedited 80's TV goodness.

This all aired on December 8th, 1985 on CBS.

1. Mazda 626 (With James Garner!)
2. Promo for "Murder She Wrote" and "Circus Of The Stars" (With Bea Arthur, Dick Clark, Merv Griffin and Burt Lancaster)
3. 60 Minutes (About his early career with Lionel Hampton's band playing trumpet, and his career as a music producer on albums like "Off The Wall" and "Thriller")

Does somebody know the name of the song at 05:26?

[80sCommercialVault]

@Mexymillion "The Lady In My Life". It's from a little-known album called "Thriller".

Ed Bradley even mentions it by name at 4:35.

Was that Lesley Stahl who introduced the QUincy Jones story?

[80sCommercialVault]

Nope. That's Diane Sawyer.

[jwgreek8606]

that copy of Ghostbusters isn't it a copy from RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video or was it taped off of HBO or something?

[80sCommercialVault]

Taped off something. Definitely not official.

Michael looks so amazing in this video. He is so handsome and sexy. Him and Quincy make a great team!

[aivrsn75phila]

WOW!!!! Look at MJ and Ed Bradley (God rest their souls) in '86....the would met up again in 2003 under different and sadly uncomfortable circumstances

Angela Lansbury-- omg- im old-- still an MJ fan though-- love him always!

[MeInTX]

It's amusing that CBS was still promoting "Murder, She Wrote"'s Emmy nominations some three months after the ceremony.

Dick Clark and Merv Griffin I can understand hosting "Circus of the Stars", but Bea Arthur and Burt Lancaster? Surely they had better things to do.

Those are some gigantic sunglasses MJ is sporting.

Thanks for posting this. As mentioned, So many good things going on in this video ---

1) a new Mazda for only 9645??? LOL

2) Lenny! from Law and Order (Jerry Orbach, RIP) in the commercial for Murder She Wrote

3) Burt Lancaster! (RIP) in the Circus commercial

4) Of course, last but not least Michael Jackson (RIP) and Ed Bradley (RIP)

Man, can we have the 80s back?  LOL.

[PrincessStefanie1]

And I mean the commercials. Quincy Jones and MJ created nothing short of magic.

[PrincessStefanie1]

How 80s!

[ianjames67]
