RIP

 

[PANARIN BREAD FAN]

years ago he did an interview where he disclosed some secrets most of the public would not have been aware of. marlon brando and richard pryor were lovers. brando always had hardons he would probably f*** a mailbox. and the beatles were not "players."

example: ringo starr's drum part for a song he was producing on had to be played on record by a session guy. ringo kept to play a part for say about an hour. he leaves the studio and comes back to hear a take that the session guy laid down q asked what ringo thought, ringo liked. q:"yeah. well that was someone else playing motherfker."

q must have had thousands of stories. i gotta look and see if he ever came out with a tell all audiobook.

Legendary music producer who I mainly remember from his appearances on Fresh Prince, Austin Powers and Wu Tangs Triumph video. Also, the father of the funny and beautiful Rashida Jones.

RIP

Wow.... arranging music for Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, composing film and TV scores – that's an amazing career right there. But Q evolved into perhaps the best-known R&B producer ever from the 1980s onwards. The man worked with the best artists of the last century. RIP....

One of the all time GOATS - RIP Q

RIP to an absolute legend.

Read a lot more about him recently after watching Arrested Development and their running gag on him. What a life he lived, hard to think of many more people who had a deeper impact on music in the last 60 years.

 

[Ol' Jase]

“Peerless” is a highly accurate descriptor of Jones.

RIP to a true legend.

That interview where had that tidbit about a drummer replacing Ringo Starr was hilarious.
