Quincy Jones Endorsement of Clinton Announced in a Video Tribute

Musical great Quincy Jones announced his endorsement of Hillary Clinton in a video tribute this afternoon during a luncheon which brought together over 200 African American men who support Hillary Clinton's candidacy for president. In the video, Mr. Jones speaks eloquently about the depth and longevity of their friendship and his belief in her ability to lead our nation.

"Hillary Clinton is one of my favorite ladies on this planet who I've known for a long, long time and who I believe in and will go to the ends of the earth for... I have known her as a human being and have been around her in every kind of situation ... she and I have shared thoughts very intimately, and I've always admired and appreciated that ... I have always had an honest response from her with anything we've ever talked about. I see her for who she is and she has the vision, courage and most importantly she has the experience ... we have very few people that can take us to the next level. The one that can take us there in the 21st Century is Hillary!"

In addition to Mr. Jones' video endorsement, supporters heard from other distinguished participants from across the nation, including New York Congressman Charles B. Rangel, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and Dean of the New York State Congressional Delegation; Trenton, New Jersey Mayor Douglas H. Palmer, President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors and co-chair of the Clinton campaign's Mayors Council; Robert L. Johnson, owner of the NBA Charlotte Bobcats and founder of BET; Bishop Tavis Grant, Pastor of the Greater First Church International in Chicago; South Carolina State Senator Darrell Jackson (District 21); and Attorney Willie E. Gary who also announced his endorsement for Senator Clinton at the lunch.

6. Quincy Jones is a good man

This is a good endorsement for Hillary, even if it was expected. Hillary's advantage is that she was able to make friends with people like him during Bill's Presidency and has been able to hold onto them ever since. It's hard for an outsider like Obama to sweep in and take those people from her. He may succeed in a few cases, but overall, Hillary has the advantage.
