“We Owned The 80s”-Quincy Jones

Today, the Los Angeles Times has published a truly great piece written by the virtuoso composer and producer Quincy Jones. In the piece Jones recollects the period of time that he worked with he King Of Pop, the history they made and the legacy left behind. It was really a great read.

Michael Jackson was a different kind of entertainer. A man-child in many ways, he was beyond professional and dedicated. Evoking Fred Astaire, Sammy Davis Jr. and James Brown all at once, he’d work for hours, perfecting every kick, gesture and movement so that they came together precisely the way they were intended to. Together we shared the ’80s, achieving heights that I can humbly say may never be reached again and reshaped the music business forever.
