Phil O'Keefe Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Looks like Quincy Jones prevailed in his lawsuit against Michael Jackson's estate for money he was owed for production work on some of Michael's biggest records. While it wasn't the full $30 million he was suing for, it's far more than the few hundred thousand the estate was claiming he was owed. Congratulations Q - good for you! http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-quincy-jones-michael-jackson-dispute-20170726-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are they going to shell out big chunks or try to pay pennies on the dollar. They should pay the man while he is able to enjoy the fruits of his labor.

Members Anderton Posted July 28, 2017 Members Share Posted July 28, 2017 I had the good fortune of interviewing Quincy Jones around the time "The Color Purple" was released, and spent several hours chatting about music and such. Q is a super-nice person, a gentleman, extremely knowledgeable and kind. Michael Jackson was a monster talent, but he needed Quincy Jones and Bruce Swedien to get that talent across. I'm glad Q got some kind of resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No man (or woman) is an island - it nearly always takes a talented team to make a great record - even for mega-talented artists like Michael Jackson.
