Following Quincy Jones' recent passing at age 91, Hollywood’s biggest names are honoring his contributions to music and beyond. Will Smith, Victoria Monét, LL Cool J, Reverend Al Sharpton, Colman Domingo, and Sheryl Lee Ralph, just to name a few, shared tributes commemorating Jones' lasting influence. 

Known for producing Michael Jackson's best-selling albums like Thriller and Off the Wall and organizing the “We Are the World” recording, Jones played a major role in shaping popular music and bringing artists together for social causes.

Jones, who began as a trumpet player in Chicago, went on to work with legends like Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra before securing his place in music history as a transformative producer. With a career spanning over six decades, he left a mark not only in the music industry but also in film and activism. 

Those paying tribute have highlighted how his work brought people together, bridging genres and inspiring generations. See below.

As the world continues to mourn the loss of Jones, we’re reminded of just how deeply his legacy runs through generations. His music reached beyond the charts and into everyday moments. If you attended a predominantly Black school in the early ‘90s, there’s a good chance you sang "Tomorrow" at graduation, one of many timeless songs that defined his influence. Rest in peace to a true legend whose impact will echo in music, culture, and memory for years to come.
