Tonight, we reflect on the life of music legend Quincy Jones, who recently passed away at 91. Known for producing Michael Jackson’s Thriller and creating music for icons like Frank Sinatra and Aretha Franklin, Jones had a vast influence on the industry. With 28 Grammys and a wealth of remarkable life stories, his legacy serves as a reminder of music's incredible power to inspire. So, tonight, we ask you: What music did you listen to when you were young? And what's a song, album or artist that has changed your life, or affected you deeply?
