Remembering #QuincyJones
Apart from his legendary music collaborations with many icons including Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson, Mr Jones was also prolific with music in films.

Here's one that many might not know was all Quincy.

#TheItalianJob (1969) : Mini Cooper Mk 1
BMC, owners of the Mini, refused to donate any cars for this movie but the chief of Fiat offered their cars in place but it was decided as a British film the mini needed to be the car star. Fiat's boss still donated scores of cars for filming, as well as the factory grounds, and even though the authorities refused to close the roads, the Italian Mafia stepped in and shut whole sections of Turin down for filming, so the traffic jams in this movie are real, as are people's actions during it.
32 Mini Coopers were used for production, one of them bearing two steering wheels. The actor performed on the dummy wheel while a stunt driver, unseen to the camera, was the one to actually drive the car.
