Jazz legend Quincy Jones has died at the age of 91.
The cause of death for the musician and producer who worked with Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra and many other stars is unclear.
Jones' publicist, Arnold Robinson, reported that he "died peacefully" Sunday evening at his home in Bel Air.
"It is with full but broken hearts that we must share the news of the passing of our father and brother Quincy Jones tonight. And while this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life he lived and know there will never be another like him," the family said in a statement.
Jones is best known as the producer of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album.
During a career that spanned more than 75 years, he won 28 Grammy Awards and was named one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century by Time magazine.
In 1985, he produced and conducted the recording of the charity album We Are The World.
He also composed the soundtrack for more than 30 films, including Heat of the Night, The Color Purple and The Italian Job. | BGNES
