DO-GOODERS ERIC BENET AND MANUELA TESTOLINI HONOR QUINCY JONES AT ‘IN A PERFECT WORLD’ EVENT

Quincy has indeed given much to the music industry. He has been the driving force behind many famous recording artists’ songs including that of Michael Jackson’s hit record, ‘Bad.’ Quincy delved into his list of favorite artists who he’s worked with over the years during a recent interview.

“It’s just a little list,” Jones explained. “Oscar Peterson, Charlie Mingus, Roland Kirk, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Kenny Clark, Lionel Hampton, Duke Ellington, Tony Bennett, Diana Ross, Lena Horne, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Gene Krupa, Louis Jordan, Dinah Washington, Andy Williams, Billy Eckstine, Charles Aznavour, Aretha Franklin … It’s ridiculous.”
