Who knew Bill Clinton was a major fan of Quincy Jones and his stellar resume of work that includes producing some of the most revered music the world has ever heard…

Because of that very reason, in addition to Jones’ humanitarian efforts,  Bill Clinton honored Jones with the Clinton Global Citizen Award.

Speaking of Jones, Clinton says “Quincy is a legend of our time. It is rare that an individual commits as much to philanthropic causes as he does to his own career. Quincy’s many musical talents, coupled with his entrepreneurial spirit, have led him to make a lasting change in the lives of thousands of people throughout the world. His determination, creativity and strong leadership serve as an inspiration to all of us, and I am proud that he will join us at the CGI Annual Meeting to accept this award.”
