Quincy Jones passed away at 91
Musical titan Quincy Jones, the composer and producer who added his tasteful polish to recordings by everyone from Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson, has died, according to his representatives. He was 91.
Jones died Sunday night at his home in Bel Air, California, surrounded by his children, siblings and other family members, his publicist told CNN in a statement. “Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing,” the Jones family said in the 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. He is truly one of a kind and we will miss him dearly; we take comfort and immense pride in knowing that the love and joy, that were the essence of his being, was shared with the world through all that he created. Through his music and his boundless love, Quincy Jones’ heart will beat for eternity.” Source With Frank Sinatra on a soundstage, 1964  RIP |

It’s always sad to see the day when a true great passes away. And it’s at that point you realise how great these people have been in our lifetime.

I got to interview Quincy in 2010, as he was an AP Ambassador and they produced a couple of QJ watches.
Such a fascinating life he had. Excuse the issue with the pics, but scroll down if you feel like getting to know more about this legend.

There is a pretty good documentary on Netflix called Quincy that's worth a look.

Ninety-one is a good, long life.
We should all do as well. RIP Mr. Jones.
