Quincy Jones, a monumental figure in the music industry known for his work with legends like Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra, has passed away at the age of 91. Jones, whose remarkable career included producing Jackson’s iconic "Thriller" album, crafting award-winning film and TV scores, and collaborating with artists like Ray Charles, left an indelible mark on the music world.
According to his publicist Arnold Robinson, Jones died peacefully at his home in Bel Air, Los Angeles, surrounded by family on Sunday night.
"Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing," his family said in a statement. "And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him."
Jones' journey was one of resilience and triumph. From a challenging upbringing on Chicago’s South Side, he climbed to the pinnacle of the music and entertainment industries, becoming one of the first Black executives to succeed in Hollywood. His extensive musical catalog features some of the most cherished moments in American rhythm and melody.
For decades, Jones’ influence was nearly universal; his name could be found on records owned by countless fans, and his impact stretched across the entertainment industry, resonating with leaders and artists worldwide.
