QUINCY!

 


A legend a titan is gone and we won’t see his like again. 
There wasn’t a genre of music anywhere that this man didn’t touch!

Quincy Jones, the music producer and industry titan, has died aged 91. 
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.
“Everybody, no matter what vocation they’re looking at, should add music as an essential to their curriculum. Music can be a very important part of your soul and your growth as a human being. It’s so powerful.”
