Another history maker at the awards this year was veteran record producer Quincy Jones. The 85 year old legend took home 28th Grammy as his documentary “Quincy” won for best music film. In his seven decade long career, Jones has won Grammys in more than 10 categories. “Quincy” is his first in the best music film category.
