Quincy Jones was arguably the most versatile pop cultural figure of the 20th century, perhaps best known for producing the albums Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad for Michael Jackson in the 1980s, which made the singer the biggest pop star of all time. Jones also produced music for Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Donna Summer and many others.

 

Jones oversaw the all-star recording of the 1985 charity record We Are The World.

 

He also composed the soundtrack to the hit 1969 British film The Italian Job, starring Michael Caine.

 

His career, which spans more than 75 years, saw him achieve 28 Grammy award wins out of 80 nominations.

 

He was named one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century by Time magazine.
