“We take comfort and immense pride in knowing that the love and joy, that were the essence of his being, was shared with the world through all that he created,”
According to the subsequent statement. “Through his music and his boundless love, Quincy Jones’s heart will beat for eternity.”
Jones had a remarkable career in music, as shown by the fact that he garnered a staggering 28 Grammy Awards out of a total of 80 nominations.
Although he was credited with a great number of spectacular accomplishments, the music legend’s most notable accomplishment was perhaps his work as a producer on Michael Jackson’s legendary album Thriller.
In addition to that, he was responsible for the composition of the score for the iconic film The Italian Job, which was released in 1969, and he also oversaw the album ‘We Are the World’, which was released in 1985.
With the album selling a staggering 20 million copies in 1983 alone, Thriller was without a doubt the source of Jones’s greatest financial success during his career.
