Quincy Jones remembers Michael Jackson
Legendary composer, conducter, producer and trumpeteer Quincy Jones has issed a statement regarding the sudden death of Michael Jackson. Jones worked with Jackson on The Wiz, Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad.
“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.”
To all the brothers and sisters in entertainment of Michael Jackson my heartfelt sympathy, Michael lives on in my heart as the greatest entertainer ever!
God Bless you Michael you brought me joy, love and hope when I needed it most.
You are a huge part of my childhood.
Love.
