This man was the guiding figure behind many of the legends of music.

Certainly, a genius in the field of music.

Very sad news indeed.

None could hold candle to the extraordinary talent of that man. His name sits behind so, so many great artists. A music producing legend.

Vale QJ.

Yes he was a genius.
RIP Quincy

I was on Facebook and saw an interesting story about the making of Thriller. Apparently, they had over 150 different mixes and were listening to the latest one in the studio. Quincy walked in and asked what they were doing. They explained that they were listening to the 150th mix of the song. Quincy listened and then said.... play mix number two. They did, and he said, "That's the one" and so the mix we all know and have heard is mix #2.

I guess the lesson we can learn from that is don't overthink yourself into a mediocre, soul-less mix while searching for perfection.

Only met him once at an industry event ten years ago. “Genius” is a word too often used but he was the real deal. RIP.

RIP. Was driving around today and caught most of this 2001 interview with The Man. He was something else...
