I wasn't born in Bel Air, man.
I'm from the South Side of Chicago, man.
Between Ray Charles and Sinatra, I learned how to live.
Sinatra wore it for 40 years himself and then he left it to me.
And I never take it off.
Gemini.
Oh, God. Miles Davis and Prince.
I've been in this business 70 years.
It's unbelievable.
I got six daughters and one son.
That's why I don't have any hair.
- Life's a motherfucker, isn't it, man? - Oh, yeah.
Help!
I can party all the time.
Never had a problem with that.
We worked the balls off a pool table.
Honey, I'm past tired.
I couldn't even stand up for the second number.
Are you shootin', Honey?
Thank you, Honey.
Pimp shoes.
Yeah.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
Well, nobody's up that late, anyway. So I always wrote at night.
The muses come out then, ya know.
Everybody used to say,
"Keep your score paper and pen right near you,
'cause if you're not up, God will take it down the street to Mancini."
It's very true, Honey.
Haven't been sleeping a lot.
I haven't been sleeping a lot, no.
Too much on my mind, you know.
It's hard to turn it off.
Yeah, I do.
No, no, no, it's not a slippery slope at all.
No.
But I want one badder than ever now.
A drink.
- There's seven of us all together. - We're all family.
I wonder what's wrong with my appetite, though. Something's wrong.
'Cause you know me, I can eat, Honey.
Yeah, but it's okay.
It's alright. It'll be alright, Honey.
I will. I will.
Do you know the year?
Do you know what year it is?
What year?
No.
Okay, it'll come back.
It will…
Well, we had the new year, so it's 2015.
I get it, yeah.
And the 7th was when you got unconscious,
because it's now the 11th.
So, you lost four days out of your life.
Who is the president?
- What? - Who is the president of the US?
What's his name?
Do you remember?
Sarah Palin.
Do you have any idea what happened to you?
No.
You were drinking too much.
When you came in that night, you were having trouble breathing.
Your temperature was 103.
Your sugar was close to 1,000.
You have to be on a low-sugar diet.
Is there some vodka?
Why no vodka?
Boo!
- Hey, Herbie. - Hey, Q.
- How ya doing, man? - Good. Missing you, man.
- You look great. - I lost 50 pounds.
Congratulations, man.
You started it.
Good evening.
Thank you.
My brothers.
Man, let's hang.
I'm serious, man. There ain't many of us left.
Is there?
Miss ya, man.
Thank you for the other night, man.
It was great.
- How old are you now? - 89.
I'm right behind you.
Yeah, these cats been droppin' out of here like flies, man.
Jesus Christ, man. We lost Louis Johnson…
Lesley Gore, Clark Terry, it doesn't stop.
George Duke…
Joe Sample. It's fuckin' insane, man.
Insane.
- Thank you very much. - You're welcome.
- It's an honor, thank you so much. - My pleasure. Thank you very much.
- How are you, Dad? - I'm good as shit.
Many thanks.
First time here in the office?
In the office, yeah.
- Sweden, 63 years. - Yeah, I know it.
Are you going to save the record business?
- Hopefully. - It needs some saving.
Justin Kauflin, come on. Give it up.
You guys are bad motherfuckers, man.
You are the future, brothers.
Incredible.
One more, Smelly. One more.
Sometimes it's hard at first, though, to talk to him.
But then once I say what I want to say, he's fine.
Like, I couldn't really talk to him for a while 'cause I never see him.
Yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen, the hardest-working man in show business.
South Side of Chicago, that's my home.
- Do you know where rap came from? - Uh…
Where? Where do you think it came from, Bronx?
Shit.
- It came from Africa.
The praise-shouters in Africa.
- How old are you? - Eight.
I was here when I was your age.
You got Michael Jackson in business.
Sharp or flat?
No shit.
Did you say "I'll take you shopping"?
Yeah…
- Busy, dad? - Who, me?
Ciao, Roma!
My daddy used to do this.
Quincy is the reason we're all here.
He suggested that we all get involved in this.
You know what would be a good idea…
If you're doing a live "America the Beautiful,"
you oughta play Ray Charles' "America the Beautiful" in there too.
The combination would be hot.
Did you hear back from her yet?
Oprah?
You called and I came, man.
I'm so proud of you man.
Now we're talking.
