Jones has distinguished himself as a bandleader, a solo artist, a sideman, a songwriter, a producer, an arranger, a film composer, and a record label executive, and outside of music, he's also written books, produced major motion pictures, and helped create television series.
Jones' work for Barclay impressed the management at Mercury Records, a American label affiliated with the French imprint, and in 1961, he was named a vice president for Mercury, the first time an African-American had been hired as an upper-level executive by a major U.S. recording company.
Jones was also on hand for Thriller's follow-up, 1987's Bad, the celebrated USA for Africa session which produced the benefit single "We Are the World" (written by Jackson and Lionel Richie), and he produced a rare album in which Jackson narrated the story of the film E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial.

 Quincy Jones - Verve Records
Quincy Jones, whom many will remember hugging an armful of Grammys®; or jumping excitedly before an all-star chorus singing "We Are the World", grew up in a Chicago neighborhood so tough that he once saw a body with an ice pick through its neck while on his way to school.
Jones started reaching when his family moved to Seattle, where he picked up the trumpet and, at age thirteen, made friends with musicians such as Ray Charles, Clark Terry, and Count Basie, all of whom were astonished that this insatiable child was bugging them about the details of their arrangements.

 Quincy Jones
Nowadays, Quincy Jones is better known as an industry mogul and power broker than a producer/arranger/performer.
Jones got his start as a jazz arranger and trumpeter, working on such classics as The Genius Of Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra's version of "Fly Me To The Moon," in addition to albums as a leader.
Jones was trying to synthesize a whole century of American music on one disc, which is probably impossible anyway (see the School Daze soundtrack for more details), and give it a radio-friendly sheen besides.
