Jazz legend, composer, and legendary music producer Quincy Jones has
died at age 91. Born in Chicago, raised in Seattle, expired in Bel
Air.

There's a long list of jazz song and film scores he penned, and long
list of notable records he produced, and there's "We Are The World".

A long and varied career with many famous connections is better

As a colleague once told me about an incoming manager,
"He does very well in a suck-up, kick-down culture."

From the headline, I thought you meant the later Star Trek troublemaker.

Or maybe James Bond's gadget supplier, but he went a while back.

Fred Quimby's passing was even further in the past.

I thought it had to do with the death of the Conspiracy group that believes
the new president will create an all cash only evonomy.
