Audiophiles should appreciate the sound quality that went into so many of his productions. 

@onhwy61 - many of us also were fans of Peggy Lipton through her role as Norma Jennings on 3 seasons of 'Twin Peaks'; brilliant actress. 

I shall miss Quincy Jones.... 

Jones called himself the Ghetto Gump. Read the GQ interview I linked above and see how he connects himself from Hitler to Michael Jackson. An incredible life story and more impressive than the fictional Forrest Gump.

It seems to me he did not know Jackson was doing what he was doing. At least based on his comment on Jackson in the GQ article. I had a family member in the court room in Santa Maria, CA for Jackson's last trial and this person gave me some interesting observations about Jackson. Which I will not repeat here. 

 

Regarding Peggy Lipton, you are correct.  I should have read the date on her obit.

There is an excellent documentary of his life on Netflix called "Quincy." Well worth watching.

She died in 2019.

Coincidentally, Peggy Lipton's death was revealed the same day.

Coincidentally, Peggy Lipton's death was revealed the same day.  They are Rashida's parents.  She is best remember for her role in  "The Mod Squad".

Musically Jones was at different time everywhere, but I particularly like his film scores.  He was most prolific from 1966 thru 1972.  More than 30 film credits plus TV scores.  Unbelievable!

In my opinion, everything Quincy touched was executed with excellence! Those shoes will be VERY difficult to fill. RIP Brother!

RIP. 

Condolences to his family, specially the actress Rashida Jones, one of my favorites.

Wow. Talk about a musical icon.... Quincy did it all. God Bless him and his family.

He collaborated with the likes of Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackon and countless others. Never mind his own body of work. I'm off to play two favorites: Smackwater Jack and Mellow Madness. Thank you, Quincy Jones, for all of the great music.
