From Sinatra to Jackson: Quincy Jones leaves behind seven decade musical legacy | DW News

Legendary US music producer Quincy Jones passed away Sunday night at the age of 91, his publicist announced.

Jones won the third most Grammy awards of all time. He also produced Michael Jackson’s 1982 album Thriller, which went on to become the best-selling album ever.

Born in 1933 in Chicago, Jones started out making his own music, backing the likes of Billie Holiday and later fronting his own band. It was then that he met Ray Charles, who would become a lifelong friend and collaborator.

Jones later became one of first Black executives to thrive in the entertainment industry and amassed a music catalogue that included Michael Jackson’s "Thriller" album, work from jazz legends like Duke Ellington, as well as crooners like Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett.

His own music was also frequently sampled by rappers such as Tupac Shakur and Kanye West. He also wrote film and television scores, including "The Color Purple" and "Sanford and Son."
