Quincy Jones Dies

Legendary music producer, Quincy Jones has died, he was 91. His career spanned decades, but he is perhaps best known for his collaborations with Michael Jackson on the Thriller album and with Jackson and various other artists on "We Are The World". 

Jones had Seattle ties.   The Quincy Jones Performing Art Center at Garfield High in Seattle, is named for him.

Apparently, my father had him as a mailman while he was a student at the U-Dub. 

His influence on popular music is broad and endless, you can find out more about his incredible career by clicking here.
