Quincy Jones, music titan who worked with Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra, has died.

Jones, whose career spanned seven decades, is known for producing Jackson's historic Thriller album
.

Quincy Jones, the music producer and composer, has died at the age of 91.

Jones worked with Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and many other artists.

Among his best-known credits was as the producer of Jackson's historic Thriller album.

Jones oversaw the all-star recording of the 1985 charity record We Are The World.

He also composed the soundtrack to the hit 1969 British film The Italian Job, starring Michael Caine.


His publicist, Arnold Robinson, confirmed Jones died at his Los Angeles home on Sunday surrounded by his family.

In a statement, his family said: "Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones's ing.

"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."

His family added Jones was "truly one of a kind" who they would "miss 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," they added.

"Through his music and his boundless love, Quincy Jones's heart will beat for eternity."

His career, which spans more than 75 years, saw him achieve 28 Grammy award wins out of 80 nominations.

He was named one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century by Time magazine.

Lionel Richie, who co-wrote We Are The World and was among the charity single's featured singers, called Jones "the master

It is obvious to even the blind, opponents and ers of the drug baron that the criminal kingpin never graduated from CSU.

A CSU spokeswoman said the university can confirm the president graduated. However, it cannot authenticate the diploma because it is a ceremonial document that is not part of a student's official academic file."

Then why are you sweating? I'm also 100% sure you're the same paid hack using the other s. You've been the only person shouting all over Nairaland that the case would be HUNG. Now you've switched to your alternate monikers to continue the misinformation... But we won't let you

Shut up.

Once someone has a different ans obviously superior argument to yours, he's a paid hack.

Your excuse is NOT valid in the least. Let me give you a little breakdown tilted to your direction in fact.
Let say the chief engineer takes N200,000 per month (which should be definitely not up to), that's N3.6m in 18 months,
The site workers are 30 (which shouldn't be up to) & they take N100,000 per month, that would be N54m.
That work would be completed with even less the money I've stated.

Chief engineer on such a project would recieve 250k per month?

Are you being realistic or you want to pretend?

Not even a new entrant would receive 250k per month.

Average backward mentality. Looking down on people's jobs. To them, that is 'enjoyment'

The lady in that pic is a care worker not a cleaner. Irrespective, I have much more respect for her than a thieving PMB or BAT who frolics abroad on the livelihood of millions back home.

The lady who cleaned an apartment I lived in some years back drove a 2017 suv, went on holidays to nice locations at least 2x a year, had her mortgage well paid into and her kids going through UNI at no expense to her. She bothered not about expenses for her health needs which are freely served by the national service (where she was free to put in formal complaints as she saw fit). She had her pension pot accurals and worried not about her aged parents who were being housed and cared for by the government.
That is what I call enjoyment- a nation where most have a good life and a good chance at success.

Before you engage me further... understand that dignity in labour is my overriding principle.

Cleaning is a minimum wage job.

If the cleaner indeed drove an SUV, it wasn't from the income of that job.

Stop misleading people.

They even told the world how much of a failure Obi was about 10 years ago.

Suddenly, they say he is the best thing since sliced bread.

Speaking for the US, I don't know about European countries as serial/random killings are significantly less. For every solved murder, there are at least 5 unsolved ones. Watch America's most wanted and unsolved murder series, missing etc. Even with their advenced forensic technology, there are still countless unsolved cases of murder.

Nigerians are fond of berating their own.

Inferiority complex it must be.

An example is how they berate Uzoho, the goalkeeper.

Uzoho ed the MRI scan which is a highly accurate test for determining U17 players. He is lucky he was part of that screening process, if not people like you would have pushed a fake age agenda against him.

Nigerians are natural bad belle " village people".

Okay but please you guys should campaign with something different. He is not going to be the president of Lagos. He is going to be president of Nigeria. And by the way he didn't build Lagos. He should campaign with something different other than that. He should tell is his plan for Nigeria not from his ers what he might do but from him, on live television. So that we won't have a repeat of it wasn't that said this or that.


He would campaign on his delivery and past not on hopes and dreams but visions and antecedents.

That's what you campaign on.

Come on nah. It was due to the explosion of businesses and residential building that lead to population explosion along lekki-Epe Express way which then lead to pressure on the road where we have long traffic and the likes. Seeing the complain and suffering of the people he then decide to expand the road. He didn't do it before they complained. A Governor ought to be proactive before it becomes a problem but he didn't, until people complain before he reacted to their plight. Tinubu did it after Lagosain complain about the long traffic experience on the road. Without him or not that corridor of the island will explode due to it location. It has nothing to do with Tinubu. He wasn't innovative as you want us to believe even from the the write up you stated it yourself Lagosain complain first. And it was toward the end of his tenure that he concession that road, if he was so innovative and has a forsight as a leader he should have done it in his first tenure.

I am so dam sure Fashola would have fix it in his first tenure.

He didn't do it before they complained yet the problem predated him.

Come on now.

From this your write it show it wasnt Tinubu that open that axis. It was Jakande that open island down to Epe (although Epe has been open for a long time) Not his policies and what not. So cannot be a creator of a modern Lagos. He did his part and left. That he created Lagos to what it is today is total madness. He is in the same class as buhari. He can claim he is the brain behind Eko Atlantic and Lekki Trade Zone same as Buhari can claim that he built the Niger Second Bridge and Sign the reform electoral bill into law.

Guy rest

Nobody invented land.

I proved to you how Tinubu by his action of concessioning that road opened up a vista of business and explosion in real estate business on that axis.

Deny this as much as you like.

It is like somebody pointing to the BRT lane, then another saying it means nothing.

Innovation is what changes the world.
