Quincy Jones entered the digital world Tuesday (July 31st) with the debut episode of his new video podcast series. The 26-episode series will give viewers unprecedented access and a behind-the-scenes look at the world of the multiple Grammy winner and entrepreneur.

The debut podcast episode finds Jones in the studio producing Canadian superstar Celine Dion's version of "I Knew I Loved You," being recorded for the tribute album We All Love Ennio Morricone and slated for inclusion on Dion's upcoming Greatest Hits album. The song was originally Morricone's instrumental theme of the 1984 film Once Upon a Time in America, starring Robert DeNiro. Quincy asked his friends, lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman, to pen lyrics for the song for Celine. The video podcast allows viewers to experience the recording and production process with Quincy and Celine and hear Quincy sharing candid and personal thoughts on the project.

The rest of the podcast series will include footage of Jones at work in the studio with some of today's biggest stars and at exclusive events around the globe. Upcoming video podcast episodes will feature Jones's involvement in film, popular culture, politics and events on the national and international stage, according to a press release.

Quincy's video podcasts will be available on quincyjones.com, MySpace and Wizzard Media Channel on iTunes, and other leading podcast directories including Yahoo!, VH1, Syndic8, and Podcast Pickle.
