Where to start … that was some career
And he even got to climb in to bed with Natassja Kinski at the end of another hectic day producing classic records…
Well, consider me amazed. I had no idea. Phew, rock’n’roll, eh? What a life!
Looking at my collection, Thriller and Bad may be my only QJ-produced albums, but the first one alone would probably earn him a place in the production hall of fame.
RIP.
He was extremely successful with the ladies
The only exception being his mum who kept on telling him to stop this music nonsense and get a proper job
No wonder all these other men saw him as a father figure and role model……..
An interesting and eventful life, to be sure.

There was a photo popped up on my FB feed early last week showing Quincy as one of the four trumpet players in somebody’s big band of the ’50s. Possibly Dizzy Gillespie’s, I cannot remember. Two of the others were Art Farmer and Clifford Brown.
He produced two great albums of Frank Sinatra’s with Count Basie. “It Might As Well Be Swing” and “Sinatra Live At The Sands”. And all of Lesley Gore’s four hit singles in the ’60s.
