Throughout his distinguished seven decade career, Jones shaped the sound and direction of contemporary music, amassing a staggering 28 Grammys and 80 nominations for his groundbreaking, innovative work. Jones is best known for his production work alongside Michael Jackson, which began in 1979 with the iconic singer’s 9x-Platinum solo album, Off the Wall, as well as his 1982 masterpiece, Thriller, the best-selling album of all time. Jones was also the producer on the iconic 1985 benefit single, “We Are The World,” and worked with music legends Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, and Aretha Franklin, among many others. “Although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him,” the Jones family wrote in a statement. “He is truly one of a kind and we will miss him dearly. Through his music and his boundless love, Quincy Jones’ heart will beat for eternity.” (Variety)
