Quincy Jones, Jr was born in 1934 on the south side of Chicago and started playing music at an early age.
His parents later divorced after his mother was hospitalized for mental illness, and he moved to Washington State with his father and stepmother in 1943, eventually settling in Seattle.
The natural musician started playing the trumpet and arranging music in high school.
After earning scholarships to Seattle University and later to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, he left college for a real tutelage on the road with bandleader Lionel Hampton, where he continued to arrange music.
He later moved to New York where he worked with music greats Sarah Vaughn, Dinah Washington, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra and more.
That work landed him a job at Mercury Records, where he was promoted to vice president in 1961, making him the first African American to hold that position.
In 1980, he founded his own Qwest Records as a joint venture with Warner Bros. Records.
The tireless musician has been working in the movie business since 1965 and has several film projects in the works, including the new musical The Color Purple, starring The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey, Fantasia Barrino and Taraji P Henson. The film will premiere on Christmas Day.
