Speaker 1: James and Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 2: Music industry titan Quincy Jones has passed away. He was

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: ninety one ninety one?

4
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 3: Did he was that old?

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 2: It was said by one of his peers, Herbie Hancock.

6
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: Herbie said, you name it. Quincy's done it. We of

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: course know him from We Are the World USA for Africa.

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: This was America's response to England's band aid do they

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 2: know It's Christmas? And they wanted to not get on

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: the bandwagon but quintribute Quincy Jones. Lionel Richie and Michael

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 2: Jackson got together and said, why don't we get everyone

12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: together to make this, to make this song and do

13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: our bit. Quincy Jones started and every artist in the

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 2: known universe had something to do with Quincy or he.

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 3: Was working with Frank Sinatra.

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 4: Leslie Gore, you do Frank Sinatra, Ell, Michael Jackson of course,

17
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 4: what about George Benson.

18

Speaker 3: I've a summer.

19
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: Movie soundtracks.

00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: Who was this one?

21
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: Austin Powers.

22
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 5: I always see the Bert backrack when I think of Quincy.

23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: Bert was in it. But Quincy had his fingerprints on it.

24
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, on everything, by the sound of it.

25
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: Yesterday I was watching the Netflix doco The greatest night

Speaker 3: Let's do this in one night, record the song.

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: And you've got all these dudes in this in this room,

34
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: and they're all a bit jazz because they've been at

00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: the awards night, as you say.

36
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 5: And they're looking at each other and there's a lot

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 5: of ego member here. We Lewis says he was so

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 5: intimidated by the people in that.

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: Roomy Ackroyd is standing there saying, what the hell am

40
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: I doing?

41
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

42
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 2: Why am I even here? And although Cyndi Laupa's boyfriend

43
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: didn't want her to go, said, this is a waste

44
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: of time. It's going to be a disgrace. Whalon Jennings

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: walked out halfway through the.

46
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: Bit All Night.

47
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. When All Night Whalon got tired, I'm a bit

48
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: Bob Geldoff, not Bob Geldof.

49
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: Bob did he was overwhelming And then it was.

50
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: Stevie Wonder That came up and said, no, you got

51
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: to just sing.

52
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: And Bob's have tried sometime.

53
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: Bob crack at seeing and he that has become one

54
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: of the most iconic parts of that song. But there

55
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: is a bit in it. And this just was dovetails

56
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: nicely into Bob Geldoff joining us on the show today.

57
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: When Quincy Jones introduces Bob Geldoff, imagine if you had

58
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: to sell what you are doing as far as like

59
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: this concept where you're going to make a hit record.

60
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: For this to work, it had to be a hit record.

61
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: So all these people are.

62
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: Quite and he had to suck the egos out of.

63
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: The yep and this is what happened.

64
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 4: This is out.

65
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: Well, Bob Geldoff sold that story to all these artists

66
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: within two minutes.

67
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: Burst. I'd like you to meet Bob Gilgarf, who is

68
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: really the inspiration for this whole thing. We just came

69
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: back to meet the Opium. He'd like to talk to you, well,

70
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: maybe to put you in the mood of the song

71
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: you're about to sing, which hopefully will save millions of lives.

72
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 6: I think it's best to remember that the price of

73
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 6: life this year is a piece of plastic seven inches

74
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 6: wide with a hole in the middle, and that I

75
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 6: think is an indictment of us. And I think what's

76
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 6: happening in Africa is a crime of historical proportions. And

77
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 6: the crime is that the Western world has got billions

78
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 6: of tons of grain bursting in its silos and we're

79
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 6: not released it to people who are dying of hunger.

80
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 6: And I don't know if we in particular can conceive

81
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 6: of nothing. But nothing is not having a cardboard box

82
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 6: to sleep under a minus ten degrees. Nothing is not

83
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 6: having any drink to get drunk on, not having water.

84
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 6: And you walk into one of the carrigated iron huts

85
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 6: and you see meningite as the malaria and typhoid buzzing

86
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 6: around in the air, and you see dead bodies lying

87
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 6: side by side with the live ones. And on a

88
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 6: good day you can only see one hundred and twenty

89
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 6: people die slowly in front of you, and some of

90
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 6: the camps you see fifteen bags of flower for twenty

91
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 6: seven and a half thousand people. And it's that that

92
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 6: we're here for. And I don't want to bring anybody down,

93
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 6: but maybe it's the best way of making what you

94
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 6: really feel why you're really here tonight, come out through

95
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 6: this song. So thanks a lot, everybody, and let's have

96
00:04:59,320 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 6: it worse.

97
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 5: What an amazing way to say heyby one, get back

98
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 5: in your box and this means something.

99
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: And it works. So Bob Geldof will be joining us

100
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: on the show a little bit later on
