Quincy Delight Jones Jr. (born March 14, 1933) is an American music impresario, musical arranger, record producer, and film composer.

During 50 years in the entertainment industry Jones’ work has earned him more than 70 Grammy Award nominations, more than 25 Grammy Awards, and a Grammy Legends Award in 1991. He is best known as the producer of two of the top-selling records of all time: the album Thriller, by pop icon Michael Jackson, and the charity song “We Are the World”. Also known for work with Frank Sinatra.

In 1968, Jones along with his songwriting partner Bob Russell became the first African-Americans nominated for an Academy Award in the “Best Original Song” category. That same year, he became the first African-American nominated twice in the same year when he was nominated for Best Original Score (for In Cold Blood). Jones is also the first (and so far, only) African-American to be nominated as a producer in the category of Best Picture (in 1986, for The Color Purple). He is also the first African-American to win the Academy’s Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, in 1995. He is tied with sound designer Willie D. Burton as the most Oscar-nominated African-American with seven nominations each.

Today is the 64th Anniversary of Minnie Riperton's birth. Personally, I celebrate her artistry and humanity. I am glad that you passed our way and left us awesome music. Now, you are with our Heavenly Father singing praises to Him. You are truly missed, Minnie. Love Lives Forever. Brian

I wish I had a millionth of a per cent of this guy's application and talent. I could say the same of that whole team of his that went on that amazing run of soul/funk albums in the late '70s and early '80s.
