(Europa Press). The composer and music producer Quincy Jones (Chicago, 1933), creative behind hits such as ‘Thriller’ by Michael Jackson, died Sunday at age 91, at his home in Bel Air, California, his representative told CNN. “Tonight, it is with a full but broken heart that we must share the news of the passing of our father and brother Quincy Jones. And while this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life he lived and know there will never be another like him. He is truly one of a kind and we will miss him deeply; we take great comfort and pride in knowing that the love and joy, which were the essence of his being, were shared with the world through all that he created. Through his music and boundless love, Quincy Jones’ heart will beat for eternity,” the family said in a statement. Music producer Quincy Jones was the architect of landmark works in Michael Jackson’s career such as ‘Off the Wall’ (1979), ‘Thriller’ (1982) and ‘Bad’ (1987). He is one of the most famous and successful producers of all time, thanks to his work with, among many others, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles.
