Quincy Jones: Michael Jackson “Had It All”

michael jackson dies quincy jones thriller Quincy Jones: Michael Jackson Had It All

Legendary producer Quincy Jones, who produced Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” album, was said to have had a close bond with the singer who died yesterday at the age of 50. Jones had this to say about his friend:

“I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don’t have the words.

Divinity brought our souls together on The Wiz and allowed us to do what we were able to throughout the 80’s.

To this day, the music we created together on “Off The Wall,” “Thriller” and “Bad” is played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all…talent, grace, professionalism and dedication.

He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever.

I’ve lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him.”

I think everyone is feeling the loss of Michael Jackson. Even my daughters, who were not particularly big fans of his, were shaken when they heard the news of his death. His influence was multi-generational. He will be missed.
