SXSW Recap: Quincy’s Keynote

After the dust from Quincy’s whirlwind week at SXSW has settled, we thought everyone would like to see a few Youtube clips from Quincy’s keynote address the 2009 SXSW Music Conference. In the first Youtube clip of Quincy’s SXSW 2009 keynote address, Quincy discusses his humble beginnings growing up in the gangster-riddled south side of Chicago, “the biggest black ghetto in America.” Quincy also optimistically muses about getting older, celebrating his recent 76th birthday, and why he can’t slow down. You can also watch Quincy discuss how he’s maintained lasting friendships with people in his life that mean a lot to him-”I’ve been blessed and I have been inspired by… to have worked side by side with probably over 95% of America’s musical giants in the last 60 years.”
