Jones' influence spanned decades and genres, and in a heartfelt statement, his family reflected on his remarkable life: “Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must bear the news of the passing of our father and brother Quincy Jones.”

“While this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life he lived knowing there will never be another like him.”

Jones turned 91 in March and shared his thoughts on turning another year older on his Facebook page.

“This life that I am allowed to lead is not something I take for granted. As a little black boy growing up on the south side of Chicago, living to 91 wasn't even a dream because it never seemed possible.” But as I stand before you today, I am grateful to every person who gave me a shoulder lent me something to stand on… From Count Basie to Nadia Boulanger to Joseph Powe and all the people who told me I was worth another day,” he wrote.

“To everyone out there, never underestimate the positive impact you can have on a child’s life because it can just be the difference between turning 19 and turning 91. Thank you everyone for the lovely birthday wishes and I pray that I can continue to pass on what the greats have given me!! Keep it up…You know it’s me!”
