RIP Quincy Jones

A titan, indeed. Also produced Off The Wall

RIP

 

If he's not a titan in the music industry, show us a better example.

Twenty-seven Grammys. Seventy-nine nominations. Just phenomenal. Bridged from Sinatra to rap.

Incredible. RIP, good sir and Thank You.

 

The music of all our lives, especially we olds. RIP to a man to whom no obit can do real justice.

 

Michael is right.

Not a day of my long life has passed without hearing music Quincy Jones made - or made better.

A giant.

To his rest.

 

Had no idea that he composed the theme to “Sanford and Son”.

 

His first big hit was Lesley Gore’s It’s My Party; from there to Thriller? Oh yeah pulling off We Are World. Greatness. Thanks for the the joy you brought me.

 

Off the Wall is significantly better than Thriller.

What happened to Michael Jackson is one of the great losses of my generation. It’s up there with Bo, Bias and Whitney.

 

Sinatra loved Q. And vice-versa.

This was a pretty good episode of Hit Parade about him.

Quincy's and Michael's best musical moment.

 

Effortless.

I tried to describe to my daughter how he was so effortlessly great.

Putting guitar solos in his songs is like putting ketchup on steak.

The 80s sullied so many musicians.
