Co-Arrange and oversee the project. Do your research. Q had a team of cats he worked with on the regular since the late 70s.
I don't need to "do...research" when I lived through this man's work.
But, since some people still don't get it:

...and all he did was co-arrange and oversee "the" project? My eyes of watching this cat on TV and reading him in magazines for decades as well as sources all over the internet say different...thanks for playin, though.
