RIP Quincy Jones

I really had no idea Quincy Jones was that old.

And, Michael Jackson looked so good in that. He really did wreck himself.

 

RIP Q

 

Was he still married to Peggy Lipton? The obit doesn't say.

 

They divorced in 1990, per Wikipedia, and Lipton died five years ago anyway.

 

Had no idea she was dead. She kind of disappeared after "Mod Squad."

 

There was a really good Netflix documentary about "We are the World" that came out about a year ago. Jones was fantastic.

 

There was a Netflix doc on his life and career that was great too. He wrote a pretty entertaining memoir a few years back too.

Yeah that was the one his daughter directed I believe. It was excellent.

I love the part when he's approached about producting the TV special for the opening of the African-American National Museum at the Smithsonian and he starts running off names of people who have to be at this event and casually says, "and of course we need the President [Obama] and First Lady there as well".
