By the time of his death on Nov 3 at 91 at his home in Los Angeles, #QuincyJones had become a renaissance impresario of #music, #film & #TV, catapulting the careers of Oprah Winfrey & Will Smith & smashing barriers for other #AfricanAmericans.

Jones’s 6-decade career was nothing short of Zelig-like. He brimmed w/anecdotes about his encounters w/figures from Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl to Sinatra to the rap star Tupac Shakur, who was engaged to one of Jones’s daughters before his murder.
