Pop Music Legend Quincy Jones Dies At Age 91

NPR reports:

Quincy Jones, whose decorated music career ran from the early 1950s through the best-known works of Michael Jackson and beyond, died Sunday. He was 91.

His death was confirmed by his publicist in a statement to NPR that did not mention the cause of death. The statement said that Jones died peacefully at his home in Bel Air, California, surrounded by his family.

In the 1980s, Jones helped oversee some of music’s biggest and most widely loved moments: He produced or co-produced three of Michael Jackson’s best-selling albums, including 1982’s record-setting Thriller, and was heavily involved in crafting USA for Africa’s 1985 charity single “We Are the World.”
