Quincy Jones has lost his mind
While I have much respect for his body of work, what's up with this? You look at any listing of who played on Beatles' records, and if it wasn't an orchestra instrument, John-Paul-George-Ringo played the vast majority of the instruments. And you don't gig for years in clubs and not become a d**n good player. Not to mention it's hard to write songs without a good understanding of music. Funny that he will criticize the Beatles when most of his famous acts didn't play an instrument at all.
It's hard to dispute his personal recollections, but I just listened to the Donna Summer song and don't get the plagiarism at all.
