Quincy Jones, who passed away at 91 years of age on November 3, should certainly be celebrated for his work with Michael Jackson, and the dozens of good causes he became involved with during his long and successful life.
But Jones's work - and his most keen of musical ears - also touched just about every great name in 20th-century recording history. He worked with an incredible list of American artists, from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson, Ray Charles to Will Smith, and as well as producing landmark albums – including the world's most successful LP in Jackson's Thriller – also had an equally successful career in film and television.
