Legendary musician Quincy Jones has died. He was 91.

“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing,” the family said in a statement. “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.”

"He is truly one of a kind and we will miss him dearly; we take comfort and immense pride in knowing that the love and joy, that were the essence of his being, was shared with the world through all that he created. Through his music and his boundless love, Quincy Jones’ heart will beat for eternity.”

There you go. Right you are. My favorite Quincy Jones song is still the theme from “Sanford and Son”. One of my all time favorite TV sit coms.

I think he also was producer of most (if not all) of the Leslie Gore hits in the 60s.

As a jazz fan, I’ve always liked Quincy’s music, particularly the early ‘60s stuff. RIP.

One of my favorite shows.

A lot of well written episodes and good cue music.
