Quincy Delight Jones, a well-known US record and TV producer, has passed away at the age of 91 after a prolific career spanning over 70 years.
His publicist, Arnold Robinson, confirmed that Jones passed away on a Sunday night at his residence in Bel Air, Los Angeles, surrounded by loved ones.
“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing,” the family stated.
“And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him.”
Jones was a celebrated figure in the entertainment industry, having collaborated with legendary artists such as Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, and Will Smith.
He is most famous for producing Michael Jackson’s groundbreaking ‘Thriller’ album, which sold over 20 million copies in 1983 alone and remains one of the best-selling albums of all time.

Throughout his career, he accumulated an impressive 28 Grammy Awards out of 80 nominations and was lauded by Time magazine as one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th CENTURY.
