Quincy Jones has passed away

Coincidentally, Peggy Lipton's death was revealed the same day.  They are Rashida's parents.  She is best remember for her role in  "The Mod Squad".

Musically Jones was at different time everywhere, but I particularly like his film scores.  He was most prolific from 1966 thru 1972.  More than 30 film credits plus TV scores.  Unbelievable!

She died in 2019.

Coincidentally, Peggy Lipton's death was revealed the same day.

There is an excellent documentary of his life on Netflix called "Quincy." Well worth watching.

Regarding Peggy Lipton, you are correct.  I should have read the date on her obit.

Jones called himself the Ghetto Gump. Read the GQ interview I linked above and see how he connects himself from Hitler to Michael Jackson. An incredible life story and more impressive than the fictional Forrest Gump.

It seems to me he did not know Jackson was doing what he was doing. At least based on his comment on Jackson in the GQ article. I had a family member in the court room in Santa Maria, CA for Jackson's last trial and this person gave me some interesting observations about Jackson. Which I will not repeat here.
