I remember being a kid and seeing the vid for Number One Spot, it was obvious the connection to Austin powers but to dedicate the opening to Quincy for the sample and giving him a part in the music vid was so real

Also loved that years later Quincy returned the favor to Luda in his own music video/song, was dope as hell

Quincy was the last living piece of the Thriller squad. Michael gone, Rod Temperton gone, Bruce Swedien gone, now Quincy smh.
this is like one of my favorite interludes ever, so much that whenever Out of Time starts playing on shuffle or a playlist i'll go out of my way to listen to this first
its just such an emotional track too even though its spoken word, there's just such a somber clarity to him a***yzing the pain he's undergone throughout childhood and his adult life that you can tell he only gained from just decades of life experience
This week finna be wild as f***
literally started the first hour of the week in tragedy
Pharaoh-tier legacy this man left behind - legendary always, long after all the rest of us are mere dust in the wind.
RIP GOAT.
F***.
Glad he lived a full life. 91 isn't such a bad age to go.
I wish his family and friends all the comfort at such a difficult time.
Reminder that Quincy Jones is the reason why black music was able to THRIVE during the 60s and 70s! No Ray Charles (as we know him), No MJ or Prince (as we know them) and thats just the surface
