RIP Quincy Jones

[HomerJS]

His contribution to music is immeasurable. Not only was he loaded with talent the musicians he worked with were the same.

Quincy Jones, music titan who worked with artists from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson, dies at 91

Jones rose from music school dropout to the very heights of show business, becoming one of the first Black executives to thrive in Hollywood.

He will be missed. I grew up with his work in my head.

It's sad that they seem to only mention "We are the world". He was so much more than that song. Born in Chicago, lived in Bremerton, WA for 4 years, then moved to Seattle and graduated from Garfield High School. Came back several times to visit his old HS.
