Quincy Jones "Too Busy" for Michael Jackson

Email this article Print this article Send us a tip

Producer won't collaborate with MJ again: "We already did that."

Quincy Jones, VIBE founder and legendary producer, has told the NME he won't work on Michael Jackson's new album, or reunite with him. "Man please, I've got enough to do. We already did that. I have talked to him about working with him again but I've got too much to do. I've got 900 products, I'm 74 years old. Give me a break." A few of Q's 900 projects include: collaborating with directors Steven Spielberg and Ang Lee to make music for the Beijing Olympics; and collaborating with director Brett Ratner on a 3D film about Brazil.

Wow... Q Made Michael people not the other way around... Q worked with Ella, Sinatra, Basie, Sarah Vaughn... and uh... Ray Charles before Michael was even born... And We Are the World, the best selling single of all time - uh guess who wrote it... Yeah, Q... The man is busy and if Q hadn't made time for Michael, y'all wouldn't feel so sorry for Mr. Michael, because Q's work would've still lived on... He's a legend and is most of the reason that Michael became a legend.

Mr. Quincy Jones, you are DEAD wrong for that. Mr. Michael Jackson helped you become the man you are today. Do you know the definitions of the words "compassion" and "empathy"? I think I'll cancel my subscription to this magazine ...

I think thats messed up!! You should never forget where you come from. Micheal helped to make Quincy the legendary producer he is!! "Off the wall" and "Thriller" help to put Quincy on the map as far as a Mainstream Pop music producer, and made him millions in the process.
Don't forget where you came from Q!!

Sounds like Q is a busy man and Mike needs to get it together. Now he wants to go back because he saw that his past attempts have failed. Well I see one man is going on while the other wants to go back.
