Such as Emmys, Tonys, and Oscars, Jones’ legacy honors a man who was a pioneer who broke down boundaries by being the first Black person to be nominated for an Oscar for best score.
His family recalls him as “truly one of a kind” and guarantees that “through his music and his boundless love,
Quincy Jones’ heart will beat for eternity.” He is survived by three ex-wives and seven children, including music producer Quincy Jones III and actress Rashida Jones.
From fans to colleagues, tributes have flowed in from all facets of the arts. Jeremy O’Harris, a playwright, commented on Jones’ “limitless” contributions to American culture on social media.
O’Harris wrote: “What was he incapable of? Quincy Jones taught us that there is no limit to the size of a black boy’s dreams since he was born at a time.
