Quincy Jones’s heartbreaking final post revealed as touching message to his daughter

Quincy Jones posted a heartbreaking final message to his daughter Martina just hours before he passed away.

The music icon died on Sunday evening at the age of 91, his family announced in a statement on Monday.

Quincy’s last Instagram post was a sweet birthday tribute to his daughter Martina on her 58th birthday.

He wrote, “Happy Birthday to my Tina Beena @martinafotos1!! So proud to be your daddy! Big hug, I love you forever’ (sic).

Quincy was the proud father of seven children; Jolie, 69, Rachel, 59, Martina, 58, Quincy III, 55, Kidada, 50, Rashida, 48, and Kenya, 31.

The music titan was married three times and his seven children came from five different relationships.

Quincy spoke about fatherhood in 2018, saying he drew inspiration from his own father, Quincy Delight Jones, Sr.

On Father’s Day, he wrote on Facebook: ‘I am forever grateful to my father for working so hard to keep a roof over our heads in the 1930s, during the Great Depression…he never gave up on us.

“I’m telling you, it’s up to you to build the kind of relationship you want to have with your child, and it’s never too late to start.”

Quincy added, “Never underestimate your role in your child’s life. I learned that later in life, but I’m so glad I finally figured it out because being a father is without a doubt one of the greatest blessings.”

Quincy’s publicist Arnold Robinson said he died Sunday, surrounded by his family, at his home in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles.

The family said in a statement: ‘Tonight, it is with full but broken hearts that we share the news of the passing of our father and brother Quincy Jones.

“And while this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the amazing life he lived and know there will never be another like him.”

A large number of Quincy’s followers responded to the sweet birthday tribute to his daughter

Quincy rose to the top of show business when he became one of the first black executives to thrive in Hollywood and amass an extraordinary musical catalog.

He produced Michael Jackson‘s Thriller album and collaborated with artists such as Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles.

He toured with Count Basie and Lionel Hampton, arranged records for Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald and composed the soundtracks for Roots and In The Heat Of The Night.

Quincy organized then-President Bill Clinton’s first inauguration celebration and oversaw the all-star recording of We Are The World in 1985 to alleviate famine in Africa.

Quincy will perhaps be best remembered for his productions with Jackson, where his versatility and imagination showcased the singer’s talents as he transformed from child star to the ‘King of Pop’.

On classic songs like “Billie Jean” and “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough,” Jones and Jackson created a global soundscape from disco, funk, rock, pop, R&B and jazz and African chants.

For “Thriller,” some of the most memorable touches came from Jones, who recruited Eddie Van Halen for a guitar solo on the genre-melting “Beat It” and brought in Vincent Price for a creepy voiceover on the title track.

‘Thriller’ sold more than 20 million copies in 1983 alone and competed with the Eagles’ ‘Greatest Hits 1971-1975’ as the best-selling album of all time.

‘If an album doesn’t do well, everyone says, ‘It was the producer’s fault’; so if it goes well, it should be your ‘fault,’ too,” Jones said in a 2016 interview with the Library of Congress.

‘The numbers don’t just appear all at once. The producer must have the skills, experience and ability to see the vision through to completion.”

The list of awards and accolades spans 18 pages in his 2001 autobiography “Q,” including 27 Grammys at the time (now 28), an honorary Academy Award (now two) and an Emmy for “Roots.”

He also received the French Legion d’Honneur, the Rudolph Valentino Award from the Republic of Italy, and a Kennedy Center tribute for his contributions to American culture.

He was the subject of a 1990 documentary, “Listen Up: The Lives of Quincy Jones,” and a 2018 film by daughter Rashida Jones. His memoirs made him a bestselling author.
