Quincy Jones, a renowned American music producer, composer, and musician, passed away at his home in Los Angeles on Sunday night, according to his publicist Arnold Robinson. Jones was set to receive an honorary Academy Award later this month. His family released a statement expressing their sadness, describing him as their "father and brother." Quincy Jones is best known for producing the iconic album "Thriller," which was released in 1982 and included the hit song of the same name. The album, along with its predecessors "Off the Wall" and "Bad," showcased Jones' ability to blend classical music with pop, elevating the genre to new heights.

    Quincy Jones
    1. That's where I began to find peace. I was 11. I knew this was it for me. Forever.
    2. With the power of music, I reach the hearts and minds of millions of people.
    3. There are two kinds of people: those who have nurturing parents or caretakers, and those who don't. Nothing's in between.
    4. If an album doesn't do well, everyone says 'it was the producers fault'; so if it does well, it should be your 'fault,' too.
    5. My philosophy as a businessman has always come from the same roots as my personal credo: take talented people on their own terms and treat them fairly and with respect, no matter who they are or where they come from.
    6. All I know is that, on their own, human beings are not programmed to handle that much fame, that much adulation, that much success.
