Where would music be if Diana Ross didn’t advocate for Michael Jackson to be in The Wiz with her. Quincy Jones & Michael met on set where Michael asked him to produce his adult solo album. We got 9x platinum Off The Wall, 34x platinum Thriller, & 14x platinum Bad from this union.

For decades, Quincy Jones was music. From producing Thriller, to composing the score for The Color Purple, to working with Frank Sinatra to Ray Charles, it seemed like every big record – and every big film – had Quincy’s name on it.

His music appealed to listeners of every race and every age. And by building a career that took him from the streets of Chicago to the heights of Hollywood, Quincy paved the way for generations of Black executives to leave their mark on the entertainment business.

Michelle and I send our thoughts to Quincy’s friends, family, and everyone who has lived their lives to his songs.

Rest In Peace, Quincy Jones. A towering force in music, Quincy redefined what was possible in sound, and his influence has touched every corner of the industry. Though Prince and Quincy came from different worlds and styles, they shared a relentless drive to break boundaries and reach new creative heights.

Following Prince’s passing in 2016, Quincy expressed great admiration for his artistry, describing him as "a true, real giant."

The Prince Estate sends our condolences to Quincy’s family and all who are deeply affected by this loss. 💜
