According to the Associated Press, the Chicago native died at age 91. Arnold Robinson, his spokesperson, told the publication that on Sunday night (November 3), he moved into a higher platform in his Bel Air residence. Jones was &#8220;surrounded by his family,&#8221; who referred to his generous place in music history in a statement following his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We must break the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones&#8217; passing tonight with hearts full yet broken. We honor the wonderful life he led and realize that no one will ever be like him, even though this is an amazing loss for our family,&#8221; the family said. His career dates back to the 1950s, when he worked with musicians like Frank Sinatra and Leslie Gore and made an impression as a jazz conductor and arranger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/radiantmedia.io\/2023\/09\/28\/quincy-jones-recevies-recording-academy-and-us-state-departments-first-ever-peace-through-music-award\/\">Quincy Jones Recevies Recording Academy And US State Department\u2019s First-Ever Peace Through Music Award<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The family of the late Quincy Jones say they &quot;take comfort and immense pride in knowing that the love and joy, that were the essence of his being, was shared with the world through all that he created.&quot;<br><br>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NNEs6FXBw9\">https:\/\/t.co\/NNEs6FXBw9<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5tU58ZdytT\">pic.twitter.com\/5tU58ZdytT<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ABC News (@ABC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ABC\/status\/1853371924287504662?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 4, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quincy Jones also became the first African-American to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song in 1968 for the song &#8220;The Eyes Of Love&#8221; from Banning as a result of his foray into film, television, and other musical genres. Even if his ideas weren&#8217;t always realized, he also contributed to a number of other classic television programs and motion pictures, including an original theme for The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Even if the connection wasn&#8217;t always obvious, Jones is responsible for many of the most memorable musical moments of the modern period. He was simply that passionate and prolific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quincy Jones&#8217;s work with Michael Jackson is arguably his most famous and well-known musical contribution. He produced three of the King of Pop&#8217;s most influential albums: Bad (1987), Thriller (1982), and Off The Wall (1979). As of the time this article was written, Jones had won 28 Grammys, the third-most of all time, thanks to this and other masterpieces. His enchantment will endure forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
