Queen Latifah gave a salute to movie music icon Quincy Jones, who died at 91 from pancreatic cancer last November.But there were even more queens involved before Latifah perfromed a rousing rendition of “Ease on Down the Road” from “The Wiz,” which Jones brought from the stage to the screen in 1978.Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey — who both got big breakthroughs in 1985’s “The Color Purple” thanks to Jones — were reunited to honor their mentor.“Quincy was love lived out loud in human form,” said Winfrey. “And he poured that love into others and into his work.”“So tonight we honor the true American legend whose music and movies continue to inspire us all,” added Goldberg.Latifah and Jones go back to when the rapper-singer and Oscar-nominated actress appeared on his 1995 album “Q’s Jook Joint.” And Latifah played the Wiz herself in “The Wiz Live!” on NBC in 2015.As well as being a legendary producer of everyone from Frank Sinatra and Lesley Gore to Michael Jackson and Donna Summer, Jones was a giant in the film world, scoring such classic movies as “The Pawnbroker” (1965), “In the Heat of the Night”(1967), “In Cold Blood” (1967), “The Italian Job” (1969) and “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice” (1969).
