The score fo r THE COLOR PURPLE reflects the beauty of Qu incy

Jones' personal comm itment to both the f ilm and his own artistry.

To successfully accomplish his assignment Qu incy spent numer -

ous days an the set of the f ilm, in da ilies, and several weekends

with me in the ed iting room attempting to discover wha t secrets

lay at the heart of THE COLOR PURPLE and search ing fo r the

inspiration that wou ld provide us both with the musical vo ices of

Celie, Mr., Ne ttie, Shug, Sofia , Harpo, Old M r., Squeak, Grady,

M iss M illie and that old dilapidated ma ilbox wh ich became the

eleventh character in THE COLOR PURPLE . Even that begged for

a theme.

Qu incy did us all proud. He and a gifted armada of musicians,

arranger/conductors, vocal ists and technicians went to work in a

fever pitch and one day returned with over 100 minutes of sourcemusic, songs and score . The results fo r me were tear inspiri ng.

It is music so lucid that one not only hear s it, but sees it too .

Quincy Jones has added another milestone to a career

already unpara lleled in toda y's reco rd ing industry. He has

aga in g iven us all something to sing about.

" The Colo r Purple" movie is a dreom come true! I was given

the boa k a month before I went on a vacati on by a very dear

fr iend, Else Blangsted. I read it later and was ecstatic when Peter

Guber approached me to be a line prod ucer and not a spectator

because I real ized the pote ntial cinematically and musically w ith

this lyr ical portrayal of a per iod spanning 1909-1943, which was

also a very specia l time in black music history. I conside r this interval to be the b lack music renaissance fo r the music ranges

from jazz, blues , gospel, Afr ican to leg it imate orchestra. The

scope of the music was the widest range I can ever reca ll and

cou ld on ly have been accomplished with the help of on ly the

best: on 89-p iece orchestra , 60-vo ice fema le choir and virtu oso

solo artists; voca l and instrumental, legendary blues harmo nica,

vocalists, Af ro-American master drummers, music consu ltant,

music supervisor, orchestrators, conductors, composers, song

wr i ters, music ed itors, recording and mixing engineers, contrac

tor and copyists. Add itiona lly, the never-ending love, energy and

devotion of the staff at Qu incy Jones Product ions in assoc iation

w ith the staff at Amb l in he lped to create this sound track, a labor

of love.

One of the songs that is a pleasure to include in this undertak

ing is " Body and Soul:' recorded in 1939, featur ing a class ic jazz

tenor sax solo by Colema n Hawkins and his orchestra used in the

f ilm as the transitio n piece to 1943. " Hawkins' 'Body and Soul'

was that rare except ion, a reco rd ing that was both an artistic

success and influence among musicians, and a popula r hit

indeed, it was still found in American jukeboxes well into the

1 9 5 0 s ~ The other song is " TheD irty Doze ns;' the anthem jukejoint

song of its time which was played in 980 authentic jukejoints. The

jukejoint was theon ly place of entertainment and recreation for

' Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz 1973

Liner notes © 1986 Q west Records

blacks as exemp lified in this f ilm . The Af r ican derivative of juke

joint is " dzuqu " and means w icked, 'house of sin; where one

goes justto have a good 01' time. " The Dirty Dozens " has endless

verses and choruses of hal f sung, hal f spoken insults and is

clearly recognizable as one of the " granddaddies of rep"

Finding the r ig ht fee l for the singing vo ice of the character,

Shug Avery, was crucial. It was a blessing to discover that thevibrant voice of Tata Vega was perfect. A lso, there were g ifts as

precious as the births of the two children bo rn during the produc

tion, M ax Spielberg and Qu incy Thomas Bahler (my godson).

To be involved with something so close to my heart has been

more than an emotional adventure, i t has also been an oppor-

tunity to learn the intricate artwork of f ilm making from the best

- at USS, the Un iversity of Steven Spielberg. Steven's pat ience,

friendship,warmthand trustgu ided me, along w ith the expertise

of Kathy Kennedy and Frank Marshall , who taught methe bottom

line in li ne producing, name ly suppo rt the single vision of the

d irecto r.

It takes a lot of people and most importantly a lot of love to

make a film. The best cast and crew on the planet so beautifully

gave of themselves and their talent. I w ill a lways cons ider them

as a part of my family and we all grew so much together. Most of

all, however, it takesa loving creator to wr ite sucha special

story as this one. I thank Alice Wa lker for her creative spiritual ity,

fr iendship, guidance and always at just the right moment. This

pro ject was directed by God, love, fri endship, the tota l commit

ment of the spirit of the 'purpl e people' and the cinema tic vision

and leadership of my dea r friend and brother, Steven Spielberg.

These last months have been and w ill always be remembered

as a celebration of love, lif e and " The Colo r Purple"
