What a long, remarkable and interesting life he led. So many different artists he got to work with, had a hand in so many iconic musical pieces and moments. RIP Mr Jones.

An icon. His greatest work IMO, is We Are The World. He managed so many egos and produced a powerful song that still gives you the feels today.

Great artist, producer, composer - as cool as they come

Best thing he ever had a hand in producing was Rashida Jones

The Netflix documentary on We Are the World is a great watch

And a few months ago Slate's Hit Parade podcast did an episode on Quincy Jones's career, I learned a lot of stuff that I didn't know, like the touches he put on the Thriller album
