The record producer and jazz musician worked with Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson.
Sir Elton John has remembered record producer Quincy Jones as someone who had a more “incredible” career in music than anyone else.
Tributes have come flooding in for Jones, including from British star Sir Michael Caine, US actors Colman Domingo, Will Smith and Whoopi Goldberg and jazz pop singer Jamie Cullum. Domingo, who was in the recent version of the film, said in a post to his social media that he was “so thrilled to meet Mr American Music”, and added that he “kneeled because he was a King”.
Cullum, 45, who met Jones several times during the Montreux Jazz Festival, told BBC News that describing Jones as a legend or titan was “one of the cases where it’s entirely justified”. British actor Sir Michael said in a post to X, formerly Twitter: “My Celestial twin Quincy was a titan in the musical world. He was a wonderful and unique human being, lucky to have known him.”
He started arranging and recording for artists including Ray Charles and Dinah Washington by the mid-1950s.
