This week saw the loss of the legendary Quincy Jones, one of the most influential musicians and producers in music history, who passed away at 91. Recognised for revolutionising music through his boundary-breaking work with some of the biggest names in the industry such as Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, and Ray Charles, paving the way for future musicians and super-producers, and his lasting impact across jazz and popular music, in film and TV, and pioneering production techniques, his visionary influence across a career that spanned over 70 years has reshaped music for decades to come. To celebrate his legacy, we go Back To Back through his life and work.
