@lekojazz Quincy Jones: “Vegas in ‘64 was so racist, Belafonte was working in the big room for $17,000 a week, they were not allowed in the casino. They had to eat in the kitchen, sing, and go to a black hotel across town. So Frank said ‘we’re not gonna have more of that.’ So, we came in, we had 18 goombahs put with each one of us. And he stopped the racism in one year, for Basie, Sammy, myself and Basie’s band. He stopped it, man. Cold!”
