“Thank you Dear Friend, For sharing you, your gifts, your light and your life with all of us.

Rest Well,” Gladys Knight posted on Threads.

Additionally, singer-songwriter Carole King wrote, “Rest in peace and power.” Several major names in the world of music, media and entertainment have posted tributes to the late Jones.

News anchor Katie Couric called him “one of the greats” and posted a photo of the two of them together, while actor and rapper Ice-T called Quincy a “genius” and a “KING.”

“Point blank, Quincy was the MAN. I won my 1st Grammy with Quincy and I live with his Wisdom daily,” Ice-T continued.

Actor and singer Leslie Uggams offered her “deepest condolences” to the late Jones’ family and friends and added, “May he rest in heavenly peace.” “His works made up the soundtrack of our lives for decades,” Uggams wrote.

Award-winning playwright Jeremy O.

Harris was equally effusive in his praise. “What couldn’t he do?” he posted on X. Harris then outlined some of Jones’ biggest accomplishments, from being the first Black person to earn an Oscar nomination for Best Score to winning the coveted awards combination known as an EGOT and releasing some of the most memorable albums of the 20th century.

“Quincy Jones, literally born when the limits on how big a black boy could dream were unfathomably high, taught us that the limit does not exist. His contributions to American culture were limitless.”

Actor, playwright and director Colman Domingo thanked Jones for “giving us all the sound.” Founder of The Sharpe Alliance Kathi Sharpe-Ross also posted about the loss, writing “He touched my life in so many ways, Concerts, collaborations, the Forward of my book.”

And later Monday morning, Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg said Jones will “never to be forgotten for his inimitable talent and legendary contribution to music and culture.”

“For all of us who value what Quincy Jones contributed to art, society and the human race, he was the World … we are his children. Never to be forgotten for his inimitable talent and legendary contribution to music and culture, and the goal of healing the world, Q was also a profoundly wonderful mentor, a doer and a uniter,” Spielberg said. “Most of all, he was our friend. All of us who were lucky enough to be in his circle were given nicknames by Q. Mine was “Carl,” because in when we met, my answering machine had a voice message where you heard me doing a terrible impression of Carl Sagan. He never called me by my first name again. He was deeply committed to family. Everyone close to him felt special and blessed just to listen and learn and laugh. Just yesterday, like he had for the past 33 years, he sent flowers to my wife Kate for her birthday. We will miss him, but there is so much of him surrounding us to keep him close.”

Jones died on Sunday night at his home in Bel Air.

“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing.

And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him,” a statement from the family read.
