“Jones was arguably the most versatile pop cultural figure of the 20th century, perhaps best known for producing the albums Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad for Michael Jackson in the 1980s, which made the singer the biggest pop star of all time. Jones also produced music for Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Donna Summer and many others.”

R.I.P. Quincy Jones, and thanks for the music

Watching a report on his passing this morning on television, I never realised he done so much,.

He will be missed.

What an icon.

Thriller. Bad. Off the Wall. Sanford & Son. Ironside. The Color Purple. "It's My Party." Austin Powers. He even gave Ennio Morricone his long-overdue Oscar for The Hateful Eight. Had his wife not known Vincent Price, "Thriller" would have been far different.

Lest we forget that QJ composed The Streetbeater, otherwise known as the theme song for Sanford & Son.  8)

I enjoyed Sanford And Son.

Legendary music producer and composer Quincy Jones died from pancreatic cancer, confirms a death certificate from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health that was obtained Wednesday by multiple media outlets.

The document also noted Jones, who was 91 years old, had lived with cancer for years when he died Nov. 3. While he has already been laid to rest by those closest to him, a larger memorial is being planned in his honor, The Associated Press reported.
