Stevie Wonder, Cynthia Erivo and Will Smith star in Grammys Quincy Jones tribute Stevie Wonder, Cynthia Erivo and Will Smith have starred in a tribute performance to producer Quincy Jones at the 67th Grammy Awards ceremony.
“Quincy was the executive producer of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and we’re on set one day, and you know, I’m 22 years old, Quincy gave me a shot with this show, and I’m on set, and I’m having a really hard time because y’all saw the early episode, so y’all know I couldn’t really act.
Former Fresh Prince Of Bel Air star Smith then returned to tell an anecdote about Jones, before introducing singer Janelle Monae, dressed as Michael Jackson and singing Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough, she ripped her suit off to reveal an “I (Heart) QJ” t-shirt while dancing on tables.
“I’m like in the middle of this scene, they said, ‘no, he said, come right now’, so I go, and Quincy’s standing there, he got his hands on his hips, and he’s at the snack table, and he’s looking at the snacks.
While telling his monologue, Smith said: “Quincy Jones was a mentor, friend, father figure.
