My favorite Quincy Jones tune is ‘Let The Good Times Roll’ and one I love to play at parties. The foot print he left is gigantic on the musical world. From starting in the 50’s in the jazz area to producing the world-wide mega hit ‘We Are The World’, his legacy will live on forever. RIP Quincy Jones. Thanks for your talent.

Quincy Jones, who died Sunday at age 91, spent his formative musical years in Seattle, and always expressed a warm and lasting loyalty to the city.

Tonight, back in 1983 as part of the ‘Motown 25’ show, Michael Jackson debuted his version of a dance move called “the backslide“. We know it as the moonwalk.  Relive it here -

The London-born singer sounds great on her third studio LP. But is that enough in the age of the celebrity meta-narrative?

Just in time for Sunday. It has a little Billy Joel influence on track 3, too.

Usher says his latest album, 'Coming Home,' is about his journey from 'being a married man to a single man': 'I wanted to once again be fearless and go into a space that felt new.'
