Music legend Quincy Jones is no longer with us.

AP:

The multi-talented music titan whose vast legacy ranged from producing Michael Jackson’s historic “Thriller” album to writing prize-winning film and television scores and collaborating with Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and hundreds of other recording artists, has died at 91.

Jones’ publicist, Arnold Robinson, says he died Sunday night at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles, surrounded by his family. Jones was to have received an honorary Academy Award later this month.

 

Jones, an accomplished musician in his own right, produced some of the most successful pop albums of all time, including Michael Jackson’s Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad.

He rubbed shoulders with the titans of music, including Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, and of course Michael Jackson (with whom he famously feuded), just to name a few.

The man had an interesting perspective on creative work and success.

RIP to a legend.
