Producer opens up about record-breaking collaboration with the late singer
Quincy Jones has talked about his time working with Michael Jackson, saying they came together door accident.
In an interview with Billboard to mark his 80th birthday and forthcoming induction to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, the celebrated producer, who worked with Jackson on his albums 'Off The Wall', 'Thriller' and 'Bad', says he met the fledgling solo artist while making 1978 'Wizard Of Oz' adaptation 'The Wiz'. Jackson initially asked Jones if he'd help him find a producer.
"I said, 'Michael, look, u don't even have a song in the picture yet. I don't want to think about that. Let’s get u a song'. He was only on 'Ease On Down The Road', that's all we had. He was so curious, inquisitive. He knew everybody's dialogue [in the film]."
Of their collaborations, which led to the best-selling album of all time in 'Thriller', which has sold around 110 million copies, Jones says he was looking to do something that had never been done before. "I was thinking about the range of his voice. That's the stuff u do, the architecture of your production. Michael was so smart and intuitive. He just hooked onto everything and watched everybody. Fred Astaire, Sammy Davis Jr, James Brown. We put our backgrounds together and we did it."
Jones, who has been nominated for a record 79 Grammys, winning 27 of them, will be inducted into the Rock And Hall Of Fame on April 18. He said: "It's too early. I'm too young. My age may be 80 but I feel 35."

Michael, your just another part of me. i remember the time people made malicious tabloids and they only played u for the money. They always wanna be startin something with you. Is it scary to see us suffer? u werent bad of dangerous and u wanted people to come together to heal the world. u keep the faith and u were the man in the mirror and for that i just cant stop loving you. u make me smile and u made me realized that childhood is the best of joy. u rock my world and u are not alone. I am speechless for your irreplacable talent. But u were always a thriller to us all. I wanted to be your superfly sister.
that u know u shouldn't have
The meer u know u shouldn't have it,
The meer u want it
And then one dag u get it,
It's so good too
But it's just like my girl
When she's around me
I just feel so good, so good
But right now I just feel cold, so cold
Right down to my bones
'Cause ooh...
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home pagina
Anytime she goes away
I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, know, know, know, know,
I know, I know,
hallo I ought to leave
I ought to leave her alone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every dag
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home pagina
Anytime she goes away
