So very sad to read of Quincy's death. He was one of the greatest ever music producers. Many artists owe much of their best work to him. His music helped to keep me sane in the disco days.

RIP Q. An incredible musical legacy.

I shall listen to my copies of 'Sinatra At The Sands' & 'The Dude' in tribute tonight.

Just came across this article: Quincy Jones: His brilliance explained in 10 songs https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gz3w38dn9o

Good reading especially if you don't know much about the man.

Not sure if this is true or not, but made me smile.

Rest In Peace Quincy Jones.

One of the best things he ever did was to recruit Rod Temperton as a songwriter and the magic ensued with wonderful albums from the likes of Michael Jackson, George Benson and The Brothers Johnson.

Music back then was fun, kids these days miss out on fun.

For me, his lasting memory will be his soundtrack to 'In the heat of the night' - one of my favourite films and Ray Charles perfect to set the mood.

John Lennon apparently said he wasn’t even the best drummer in the Beatles.

In 1969 Quincy wrote two film soundtracks, one being The Italian Job, and recorded the fabulous Walking in Space album, which includes this track which I love and feels very appropriate right now...

I just had to post this. Quincy's arrangement of this song is simply stunning. Ol' Blue Eyes ain't bad either.

An urban myth. It was actually said by Jasper Carrott in the early 80s on his Carrott's Lib TV show.

Good info.

Also, Quincy Jones' comment on McCartney's bass playing being poor contrasts with everything else I've read.

Now it seems I've learnt something. Turns out it wasn't Jasper Carrott who originated the joke although he may later have stolen it. Apparently it was from an episode of Radio 4's 'Radio Active' series in 1981.

Its true the Beatles were not the best musicians

Bernard Purdie was the drummer for loads of their records
