Welcome to the Letterman CZcams Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s. - Zábava
Quincy is a true titan of music. I met him in a bar in NYC around 1997 and walked up to him and shook his hand and said it was an honor to meet him. He was very gracious.
Oh really oh man that's awesome
Imagine Oprah being referred to as "the woman from Chicago" what a time.
I think that happened around 85.
I know where you were going but hey, no chance of calling Quincy Jones a "racist" for that. The generation snowflake is always present. He said, Oprah Winphrey from Chicago, a talk show host...
Hard to imagine a world where someone has to explain who Oprah Winfrey is
“The woman from Chicago” 😂
Happy 91st Birthday to the Iconic, Quincy Jones! 🎂
I Salute You!
He produced one of my favorite Betty Carter albums. His credentials were unmatched before he even first produced MJ.
Stevie Wonder as well, those recordings are magnificent.
Gosh Quincy was so handsome back in the day
Quincy. Super talented, super classy, super perspective and great personality despite having to come up in all the racism and BS. Great human being. Thriller is one of the best albums in any genre ever. A mindblower. And yes the Sanford and Son theme song best TV theme song ever 😊
Kinda meta with Dave talking about that lucky woman from Chicago considering what eventually happened including the 'feud'.
Among his numerous accomplishments, Quincy is also father to the fabulous Rashida Jones. Talented, lovely family.
I wish we had seen some interaction between Quincy and Paul. I bet Paul was extremely happy to have Quincy on the show.
No kidding!
What ever happened to the lucky woman from Chicago?
nobody knows
She got all the money.
She became Snake-rah
When the World's MDB has nothing to play for the man.. Respect. Never seen music avoided on entrance by Paul and the crew.
The composer of the theme from Sanford and Son! Some people would settle for having done merely that.
The Streetbeater!
Dave seemed almost intimidated by Quincy. The talent of that man.
He definitely had appreciation of the level of greatness he was interacting with.
He should have been.
a 72-year career with 28 grammys, 80 grammy noms, 7 oscars, and an emmy. Quincy is industry royalty 🤴🏾
I so love that movie
Alice Walker is a literary gem. A treasure.
Combine her superb observation of human nature with the expertise of Quincy Jones, it has to be a masterpiece.
And just a few years later, Dave would unveil the famous, "Uma, Oprah." joke.
Have you kids met Keanu?
"That woman from Chicago". Lol.
EGOT and well-deserved, of course.
She wasn't known then I miss those days
Quincy and Michael created a thrilling album, but the 'Thriller' video is what people will remember most!
Also Beat it video
Also Billie Jean video
John Landes who made American werewolf in London directed thriller
Imagine a man saying he discovered Oprah and Whoopi (Movie career wise) and produced the best selling album with Michael Jackson, and started out with Ray Charles while casually saying he performed on the very first TV shows that aired in history.
Oh wow your movie certainly turned out nice what a nice piece of work Quincy as if you need another success Oh well yeah yeah you certainly did a good job that’s a nice piece of work
Please post the woman who peels hardboiled eggs next.
FEMALE, no woman.
@@irisbaez1972 What?
Martin Mull on earlier and Madeline Kahn on the next night? Just need Tim Curry, Michael McKean and Christopher Lloyd on the other 3 shows of the week! And Fear to perform. And the Go Go’s! And a whodunnit.
And a rerun of _The Six Million Dollar Man_ at 1 AM!
MJ WROTE 4 !!!!
Whew.... is it anyone else's first reaction to these videos to google the guest and make sure they're not dead?!
Yes! I do the same.
what a calm discussion. What a warm atmosphere...meanwhile on the other channels: The Fall Guy, Miami Vice, Knight Rider...AND the whole family is gathering around:)))
If you were to put in the actual trailer of the movie (instead of the actual clip shown) ...
#1 would a trailer still be copyrighted? A trailer itself is a commercial ...
#2 I wish there was some version of a clip of the film being talked about
#3 Ofcourse I can just look up the trailer on CZcams
#4 I will be pirating the color purple tonight 🤟😎
(#4 lol)
Trailers are still copyrighted material owned by the production company. Commercials are too. In order for Letterman (CZcams) to show that clip, they'd have to get permission from Amblin Entertainment. Some may say "well they showed it back in 1985, so they already got permission". No they got permission to play a clip on network TV in 1985 and for that time only, not indefinitely. So with that, they'd have to reacquire a license to present the movie clip on CZcams. "Fair Use" doesn't come in to play because Letterman (youtube) is making money off clicks (so it's a commercially produced video, not educational), to which they'd have to give portion or all of this particular video's income to Amblin Entertainment. Hence why the clip is not in the video.
Side note: "I don't own the rights to this video" or "no copyright infringement intended" notes that some people put on their CZcams videos NEVER protects them from copyright infringement. What ends up happening is YT puts ads on their videos and gives the money to whomever owns the copyright of the copyrighted material. And if the owner doesn't want it up there regardless of the income, YT automatically flags it and removes it. Garth Brooks is a good example of the latter. If you try to post a video with any of his songs in the video, YT will flag it and tell you to replace the song with one of their recommended songs or take down the video.
one other side note: copyright protection isn't always about greedy musicians and labels getting more money. A lot of it has to do with protecting how your work is being used. A fairly recent example: regardless if you love him or hate him, Trump was sued for copyright infringement by both Neil Young and Eddy Grant for using their songs during his 2020 run without getting permission from the labels and artists. He tried to claim Fair Use but it didn't apply.
@@goatcheese4me thanks for your thoughtful replies. I was aware of some of the things you mentioned, but not all... so thanks for sharing your knowledge.
as per copyright infringement and commercials... IMO it literally seems counter productive to prevent people from sharing them when they are specifically meant as an advertisement.
@@goatcheese4me oh also jsyk!
from my experience you can't even post a video to youtube with copyrighted material even if it does fall under fair use. years ago I made some YTP dragon ball videos... I thought if I don't monetize, etc I could make some videos as a passion project... after making some pretty popular videos my channel was deleted and I kind of gave up even though it was fun. I really do feel the content I made wasn't twisting the message or tone of the show in any way, just rearranging scenes etc. i would have been more than happy if the company let me keep the videos up and they could monetize it themselves... but they chose to shoot me down. I'll be honest... it sucked.
i admit I'm not the most creative... I kinda do rely on existing media to create what I enjoy most.
like...
when I was a kid, I used to draw the local baseball team symbol on everything. (Toronto Blue Jays) ... was I committing copyright infringement?
My ideal future would be one of certain copyright protections, of course! I argue the system is currently allowing copyrights to last far too long. like... the episodes I was using were from the 80s... so the company had 30 years...
@@christophermiller3031 Copyright protection, I believe, lasts 70 or (75?) years by default, so shows from the 80s won't be automatically converted to public domain for another 30-40 years. And bear in mind that authors/companies have the ability to reapply copyright to material, so it could go longer.
I don't know why YT rejects some work because what you did seems like it would fall under parody protection and would be free from copyright infringement, but I'd have to see the work. Also, I'm not a lawyer, but I routinely deal with licensing stuff doing video production, and I've had a lot of conversations with lawyers, so I'm just regurgitating what I've been told (hopefully correctly).
Please upload a clip of Barbara the lady who peels hard boiled eggs.
nevermind, just found it on the donz page czcams.com/video/Z-Ph4KUs8Do/video.html
