Take a moment to get comfortable and kick-start ye olde memory machine. Once it is up and running, scroll through it and find anyone in living memory who has been more influential in music than Quincy Delight Jones Jr.
His CV includes: Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Lesley Gore, and Michael Jackson, discovering Oprah, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and starting Vibe Magazine. If you are of a certain age and music was playing in the background then there is a strong chance that you were conceived to a song that Quincy Jones had a hand in.
In a career spanning six decades the octogenarian has recorded over 2,900 songs and 300 albums, been nominated for 79 Grammys and won 27 of them. He is one of only 18 people in history to have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and a Tony and produced the bestselling album (until August this year) and single of all time.
Watching the new Netflix documentary Quincy, you get the sense that the only things Quincy Jones was ever bad at was marriage and being attracted to black women.
The point of all these stats and the documentary, which was directed by his daughter Rashida Jones, is seemingly to leave people in awe at the scale of Quincy's life. All those stories about how hard your grandfather worked his knuckles to the bone on a stolen farm are meant to pale in comparison to the endless toil of a man around whom music orbited for decades.
To be honest though, that is all just a bit of projection. The real sense you get from the film once you lift your slack jaw up off the floor is one of concern and love.
Kicking off in the modern day the documentary starts with an awe-struck Dr Dre interviewing Jones about the struggles he had to go through growing up, and down the rabbit hole it goes.
