Will Smith Delivers Touching Tribute to Quincy Jones: He Was “Mentor, A Father, & A Friend”

Will Smith is the latest major name to pay tribute to the late Quincy Jones, who died November 3 at age 91.

The Hollywood titan received his big break on TV when the music maestro tapped him to star in ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,’ which he also executive produced.

A close bond was formed and it’s one that Smith emotionally salutes in his touching address.

Full story below…

Moments ago, Smith shared the following statement:

“Quincy Jones is the true definition of a Mentor, a Father and a Friend. He pointed me toward the greatest parts of myself. He defended me. He nurtured me. He encouraged me. He inspired me. He checked me when he needed to. He let me use his wings until mine were strong enough to fly.”

Beautifully written.
