He produced the CEO’s ode to my local SoCal home with a couple of nice cameos at the beginning.

I spent some time reading Quincey's bio and was just blown away by how many artists he worked with and all the music he helped create.  I knew he was influential but the sheer magnitude of his contributions was breath taking.

 

He played trumpet with an orchestra that backed up Elvis Presley on this tv appearances.

He produced Lesley Gore's hit It's My Party.

His work with Frank Sinatra was enormous and other jazz artists like Ella Fitzgerald and George Benson.

Thriller is in a category by itself of course.

I had an album of his Sounds and Stuff like that...had a collaboration with Ashford/Simpson and Chaka Khan that was so good.

Fun bossa nova song he wrote in the 60's was used as the theme for Austin Powers movie.

 

I could just go on and on, I am really saddened by this loss.  He was a genius and I am grateful for all the fabulous music I enjoyed thanks to him.

 

RIP

Ironically, Rashida Jones played his girlfriend in I, Love You Man.  What's that band that showed up for a cameo?   jk

What a career, what a life! 

Surprisingly he also composed this very British piece...

Many other good scores like Cactus Flower, Dollars and BCT&A.  

 

He even signed New Order and Joy Division to his Qwest label for distribution in the states.  Mad respect for that as a proud 80s new waver.
