Definitely a wonderful life lived in music and other aspects of the arts. Thanks for contributing an enormous body of work. RIP Mr. 'Q' Jones.

I was always in sync with "Q" because we're the same age and from the same place.

But now he gets to rest in peace, while I continue to exist amidst turmoil.

And the beat goes on...

@aka Contrarian did you ever see Q perform live?

 

was his married to white women a source of controversy at the time? 
 

If it was it dies not seemed to have hurt his career — which was stellar 

 

RIP

Nope. The privilege of living in liberal California especially within the entertainment industry.

@TroyQuincy's personal life wasn't given a lot of publicity. He was a behind the scenes celebrity. What he produced superceded who he was. His affinity for white women was incidental.

No, I never saw him perform live. He didn't do a lot of touring. His forte was  actually arranging music for other muscians.

I love that show Parks and Recreation of which one of his daughters, Rashida, was on.

She is lovely. She is Quincy and Peggy Lipton's daughter:

Rashida Jones wrote a letter to The Source magazine when the late Tupac had negative things to say about her dad and their family. 

 

Tupac ended up dating  Kidada Jones who is also Quincy's daughter. Pac met the family and apologized to all of them. Before his murder, Pac and Q were cool.

Yes, I read about that recently. What a surprise.

 

But now, I have read some gossip about how Quincy Jones harmed Tevin Campbell. I have never heard about that until now and wonder if there is any truth

to it! I know that Jaguar Wright did say something about him and he did not like it, but it did turn out that she was right! He 'came out' and said 'I'm ready' so-to-speak.

But now, social media is point the finger at Quincy Jones as dominating him in his early success. I wonder.

I thought Q's secrets would go to the grave with him.

 

Keep in mind what I wrote about the entertainment industry in other threads.

 

Jaguar Wright isn't too far off the mark in spilling tea on the business.

 

I do wonderwhat Jaguar Wright is getting out of airing Black folks' dirty laundry though.

YouTube can be very lucrative if you can get people to watch a videos and as you become more popular that brings additional opportunities to make even more money.

What!? Really?

Well, I am shocked.

I think she has been hurt very badly.

Her son was murdered. She seems out of control, to me.

Jaguar Wright has been gossiping since shortly after her singing career stalled over a decade or longer.

 

Unfortunate that her son was murdered. Telling celebrity's business isn't going to bring him back.
