The score for THE COLOR PURPLE reflects the beauty of Qu incy Jones ' personal comm itment to both the f ilm and his own art istry. To successfully accomplish his assignment Qu incy spent numer ous days an the set of the film, in da il ies, and several weekends w ith me in the ed iting room attemp ting to discover wha t secrets lay at the heart of THE COLOR PURPLE and search ing for the inspi ration tha t wou ld provide us both w ith the musica l vo ices of Celie, Mr., Ne ttie, Shug, Sofia , Harpo, Old M r., Squeak, Grady, M iss M ill ie and that old dilapidated ma ilbox wh ich became the eleven th characte r in THE COLOR PURPLE. Even that begged fo r a theme. Qu incy did us a ll proud. He and a gifted armada of musicians, arranger/conducto rs, vocal ists and technicians went to work in a fever pitch and one day return ed w ith over 100 minutes of source music, songs and score . The resul ts for me were tear inspi ri ng. It is music so lucid that one not only hears it, but sees it too . Quincy Jones has added another milestone to a career already unpara lle led in today's reco rd ing industry. He has again g iven us all someth ing to sing about.
