Michael owes a lot to Quincy. Without him, the collaboration with Van Halen would not have happened, without him there would be no Human Nature or Man in the Mirror.

He owes a hell of a lot to Q , Michael’s legendary solo career would not have been as spectacular as it was without him.

The partnership was iconic, just like The Beatles and George Martin , Quincy /Bruce MJ

I know some fans don’t like him for the way he acted in his later years but there’s no denying the impact Quincy had on Michael.

"I cried tears of sadness, love and much respect when I woke to the news of Quincy Jones this morning.

He has been an incredible inspiration to myself, my husband and so many other aspiring musicians all over the world and will continue to spread joy through the beautiful music he’s given us.

We were lucky enough to have met him once in New York City and share some time together. He was so charming and had us in fits of laughter. I’m so glad we got to tell him how much he meant to us. Always a legend.

RIP Quincy." ❤️

"He asked, where are you from? Philly I replied, his eyes twinkled and he talked about the Uptown Theater. I was so thrilled to meet Mr. American Music himself. I literally kneeled because he was a King. Thank you Mr. Quincy Jones for giving us all the sound."

I know some MJ fans have had their issues with Q in more recent years (Myself included) but there's no denying that the man was an incredible talent and a genius.

Q was the one who recommended Rod Temperton to Michael which led to classics like Rock With You, Thriller and the beautiful Lady In My Life.

RIP, Quincy.too

Myself included too. But there is no denying in that era they rode each other to glory.
RIP Qunicy
 
In a heartfelt post to Instagram, Paul McCartney remembered Jones as a “great man,” while praising his incredible career.
“He was supremely talented, and I felt privileged to have known him for many years,” the Beatle wrote. “Quincy or ‘Quince’ or ‘Q’, as he was known, always had a twinkle in his eye and had a very positive, loving spirit which infected everyone who knew him. His work with Michael Jackson is, of course, legendary and he had so many other strings to his musical bow.”
“My main recollections of him were always the private moments that we shared,” McCartney continued, “and I will never stop thanking Nancy for always arranging to visit him when we were in Los Angeles. These visits were fun and inspiring.”

Rest in Peace, Quincy Jones
November 04, 2024
The world mourns the loss and celebrates the life of Quincy Jones. Quincy was a legendary talent whose contributions to music spanned generations and genres. What Michael and he achieved over a decade-long partnership is unmatched, producing “Off the Wall,” “Bad,” and, of course, “Thriller” that remains the biggest selling album of all time. In addition, Michael, Lionel Richie and Quincy collaborated with multiple superstars to produce the charity single, “We Are The World” that raised more than $60 million to fight famine in Africa. But it was Quincy’s role as a father that was the most important to him. Condolences to all of his children. Rest in Peace, Q. You will be missed.

Ok and??? He was an old man , many elderly people lose their marbles in their later years , the mind isn’t as sharp as it used to be.

So what’s your point again? What have you achieved compared to this legend?

"Quincy was an ever-present force in our lives—in good times and bad—constant and loving.

He was our "brother from another mother," he'd say. We were blessed to know him.

Personally, I think it's way too soon for all of that. Plus, there's his will and who he named as beneficiaries and what arrangements are in place for his estate, who runs it etc. All the legal stuff will take ages to sort out. Discussions about demos etc, I can't see any of that happening for months, maybe longer. I'm just guessing, though. I'm not a lawyer. But this stuff doesn't usually get sorted quickly.

Plus, he just died two days ago. The poor guy hasn't even been buried yet.

Quick Facts About Quincy Jones: Cause Of Death, Net Worth, And How Much His Children May Inherit

Quincy Jones, the legendary music producer and Grammy-winner, passed away at 91, leaving behind an impressive legacy and a substantial fortune for his family.
www.ibtimes.co.uk www.ibtimes.co.uk

"Quincy Jones, the legendary record producer and 28-time Grammy winner, passed away at the age of 91 on November 3, 2024, at his Bel Air home in Los Angeles, surrounded by family. His illustrious career spanned over six decades, during which he collaborated with iconic artists such as Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, and Ray Charles.

While his cause of death hasn't been disclosed, it's been reported that throughout his life, Jones faced significant health challenges. In 1974, he suffered two back-to-back brain aneurysms, leading to multiple surgeries and a strict warning from doctors to stop playing the trumpet to prevent further complications. As shared by TODAY, Jones described the aneurysm experience as feeling like "a shotgun was fired inside of my head." Defying the odds, he survived and continued his impactful work, producing some of the greatest music of the 20th century.

In 2015, Jones experienced another health scare, slipping into a diabetic coma due to Type 2 diabetes. This episode led him to make drastic lifestyle changes, including quitting alcohol and adopting a healthier diet. His recovery was a testament to his resilience and commitment to health. According to the BBC, Jones embraced these changes, which allowed him to continue his work with renewed energy.

At the time of his death, Quincy Jones had an estimated net worth of $500 million. According to The Independent, his substantial wealth stemmed from a variety of revenue streams:

1. Music Production: Jones produced Michael Jackson's landmark albums Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad, with Thriller alone selling over 70 million copies worldwide.

2. Film and Television: He composed scores for films like The Italian Job and co-produced The Color Purple. Jones also served as an executive producer for The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, launching the career of Will Smith.

3. Entrepreneurial Ventures: In partnership with Warner Bros Records, Jones founded the music label Qwest Records in 1980. Ten years later, he established Quincy Jones Entertainment with Time Warner, which ventured into a wide range of programming and publishing endeavors. Through his broadcast company, Qwest Broadcasting, Jones acquired TV stations in Atlanta and New Orleans for $167 million, making it the largest minority-owned broadcasting company in the U.S. at the time.

Jones was married three times and had seven children: Jolie Jones Levine with his first wife, Jeri Caldwell; Rachel Jones with dancer Carol Reynolds; Martina Jones and Quincy Jones III with his second wife, Ulla Andersson; Kidada Jones and Rashida Jones with his third wife, Peggy Lipton; and Kenya Jones with actress Nastassja Kinski. As highlighted by MSN, his substantial estate is expected to provide for his children, although specific details of his will have not been released yet."
