You know
Read that whole interview. Quincy always has this weird way of talking about Michael. I can't explain it, but there's some longstanding resentment there.

You can tell he didn't want to say too much after the last interview. :huhldup:
I’m sure the resentment came from MJ wanting to venture out and MJ telling Quincy he’s not down with the :dame::dame:. Quincy probably had a crush on him. In some videos Quincy gets too close and MJ looks uncomfortable :mjlol::dame: The minute this man said he looked into “Michael's "big, beautiful, brown eyes" and just had to work with him, I knew what was up with this dude. Take that statement and put it together with the Tevin Campbell rumors and what Pac said about him, and it all makes sense.:dame:

Frank Sinatra also refused to play at places that didn't allow Sammy Davis Jr.

So :hula:


In 1981, Sinatra performed in Sun City, South Africa, at a time when he believed that Bophuthatswana was an independent country; the apartheid regime had nominally declared it independent, which was not recognized by any country other than South Africa. He was heavily criticized for performing there, and the official from the National Congress of South Africa was quoted in saying "He is trying to pretend that he's going to a separate state, which it is not. We don't recognize Bophuthatswana as a separate state of South Africa, and our policy is the same as if he agreed to perform in South Africa. He is saying that black people of South Africa should be living on 13% of the land."



In the 1980 presidential election, Sinatra supported Ronald Reagan and donated $4 million to Reagan's campaign.[25] He sponsored the initial fundraising campaign in the northeast, raising over $250,000 in Boston.[26] Sinatra referred to Reagan as "the proper man to be the President of the United States ... it's so screwed up now, we need someone to straighten it out."


One night in 1959 Brat Packer par excellence Sammy Davis Jr. made the mistake of appearing on a late night Chicago based talk radio program called The Chez Show, hosted by a treacherous gossip named Jack Eigen. Aware of his own dicey reputation, Eigen began the conversation “all sweetness and light,” in Kaplan’s words. “The strategy worked,” the author continues, and it “didn’t take long for the subject of Frank Sinatra to come up.” Eigen hinted that Davis’ friend could be a “difficult person,” upon which his guest began to dig his grave.

“I love Frank,” Davis began:

” . . . and he was the kindest man in the world to me when I lost my eye in an auto accident and wanted to kill myself. But there are many things he does that there are no excuses for. Talent is not an excuse for bad manners . . . it does not give you a right to step on people and treat them rotten. This is what he does occasionally.”

Sinatra received the news of this candor with a host of racial epithets, followed by Davis’ excommunication. He quickly lost his role in The Chairman’s next movie Never So Few. “For the next few months Sammy was on his knees begging for Frank’s forgiveness,” Peter Lawford later recalled, “but Frank wouldn’t speak to him.” Eventually repatriation was negotiated, and Davis received a spot in Ocean’s 11 – as a sanitation worker

-Supported Ronald Reagan

-Performed in South Africa

-Threw racial epithets at Sammy Davis Jr. just because he was honest about Frank being an a$$hole . Also, Sammy had to beg for Frank's forgiveness for months.


Yet, Quincy Davis had no problem with Frank Sinatra. Never once called that fukker a racist.
