“The Insider” caught up with Quincy Jones in Seattle, where a performing arts center has been named for him, and he ed on fellow music legend Natalie Cole, who was recently hospitalized due to a battle with the deadly liver condition Hepatitis C.   “We are very concerned about her,” Quincy tells "The Insider." “She’s not doing well right now,” he goes on to say. Quincy thinks he might be able to help her if he can get through to her: “We had a doctor we met at a benefit the other night that says he has the new technology that could save her with Hepatitis C, so we’re trying desperately to reach her to get in touch with her because she’s in the hospital as we speak, with the dialysis and everything.” Natalie was hospitalized in mid September and a close family source told "The Insider," "She's had a setback and has gone into the hospital." “She’s in New York now,” Quincy says. “We’re trying to reach her and we can’t get through.” Quincy tells “The Insider” that his relationship with Natalie goes all the way back to her childhood, when he worked with her father, Nat King Cole: “I worked with her father in 1960, [with] my band in Europe and Natalie was seven years old then and she went to school with my daughter. She was a sweetie back then.” “The Insider” talked to Quincy in Seattle on Friday, where his alma mater, Garfield High School, is dedicating the Quincy Jones Performing Arts Center to the music producer.
