Quincy Jones, Michael's producer on his hit albums "Off The Wall," "Thriller" and "Bad," looked back at the focus Michael had when they met on the set of "The Wiz."

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- It's been 20 years since the Indigo Girls broke through to the mainstream with their seminal trademark Grammy-winning song, "Closer To Fine." Since then, the Georgia duo has produced 10 major label studio albums and toured the country multiple times for an entire generation of music lovers who have been drawn to their unique supplementary harmonies.

Like many major artists with their vast experience, now that they've finished their label contract, they've gone independent (again, in their case!) with their newly-formed IG Recordings. Their new double-disc album, "Poseidon and the Bitter Bug," came out last week, and they launch a tour this weekend, kicking things off at the Dinah Shore Weekend in Palm Springs.

I caught up with half of the duo, ethereal-vocalist Emily Saliers, to discuss the new album, the state of gay marriage rights, long-term relationships and... Katy Perry.
