The legendary music producer, best known for his work on Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” album, Quincy Jones passed away at the age of 91 on Sunday, surrounded by his family, his publicist Arnold Robinson announced.

His loved ones said in a statement: “Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing.”

A celebrated career spanning over 70 years, Jones won 28 Grammy Awards out of 80 nominations.

In addition to “Thriller,” he produced hits like “Off the Wall” and “Bad” for Michael Jackson, as well as records for Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles.

Jones co-wrote and produced the charity single “We Are The World” and scored numerous films. Born in Chicago, he began his music career at just 14, playing with Ray Charles and backing Billie Holiday.

Throughout his life, he survived a brain aneurysm and narrowly avoided being killed by Charles Manson’s cult.

Jones was married three times and had multiple children, leaving a lasting legacy in the music industry.
