    “Hey Quincy, This is me” I don’t know why this makes me tear up instantly.
    With just those words, he peels back all the stardom and iconic persona and we all get a glimpse into their friendship. It’s not two stars anymore, its too life long friends. Brothers.
    being seen and know and understood by a friend. Man… priceless.

    If it wasn't for Ray Charles taking Quincy under his wing at the age of 14 who knows where music would be today. Thats a true friendship though, Ray died 2 years after this performance, Friends for over 70 years.

      We can hear it in Ray's voice. That's decades of love, respect, friendship, etc. When he speaks at the end ~1:30; there's no keeping these eyes dry ... not a chance!

    This gets me teared up no matter how many times I go back to it. One of my favorite pieces of music. Aside from the soulfulness and love in his voice, it's his piano playing and those chords that I think takes you to a special place.

    I just rewatched "Quincy" last night, and this tore me UP. What a love letter to his good friend, and Rashida should be more than proud of herself for a great, great doc about her dad. I cried through this part, and most of the rest of the doc. Wow! What a true renaissance man, and a genius. The people he worked with, guided and helped out along the way can never be measured. I love this man.

    I had the high honor of interviewing Mr Jones, and he couldn't have been friendlier and more open, honest and funny. One of the true geniuses in modern music who told me "look, when you go in the studio with someone like Frank (Sinatra) or Ray, you better be on your game..cus those guys don't play." Neither did the man they called 'Q'. RIP, and say hi to Brother Ray for us.
