Thriller was one of the ones where the artist got annoyed by home much credit the producer got. See also Let's Dance and several Beatles moments.
Look at just SOME of the other people he worked with are Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Dizzy Gillespie, Little Richard, Donna Summer and Ella Fitzgerald. That is a life well lived right there!

His résumé reads like a guess who's coming to dinner wish list. He'll have no problem resting in peace. Sleep well.

such a wide range of music
From his own songs to Thriller
and of course the Soundtrack to The Italian Job. He came up with the lyrics to Get A Blooming Move on and was a lifelong fan of Cockney Rhyming Slang thereafter
Born within a few hours of Michael Caine, and again lifelong friends after they met in 1969
RIP The Quince

Unquestionably one of the most important composers/producers of all time ...
RIP Mr. Jones and thank you for the countless memories ...

Still think his remix of Blue Monday in 1988 was one of the best ever done - great loss but my Lord what a tremendous influence of popular musical culture.

In 2018, Jones made no secret of his opinion on Trump, who has recently been mocked for his campaign stunts as the US presidential election nears an end. The Republican and his rival Kamala Harris are just days away from finding out who’ll be the next US president, with election day taking place on Tuesday (5 November).
In an eyebrow-raising interview, Jones, who was 84 at the time, said of Trump: “I used to hang out with him. He’s a crazy motherf***er. Limited mentally – a megalomaniac, narcissistic. I can’t stand him.”
He continued to Vulture: “A symphony conductor knows more about how to lead than most businesspeople – more than Trump does. He doesn’t know s***. Someone who knows about real leadership wouldn’t have as many people against him as he does. He’s a f***ing idiot.
Elsewhere in the interview, Jones said: “I used to date Ivanka, you know.”
Jones’s claim about Trump’s daughter made headlines at the time, with the record producer and composer claiming he went on a dinner date with her in 2006 when he was 72 and Ivanka was 25.
According to Jones, it was designer Tommy Hilfiger who informed him that Ivanka allegedly wanted to have dinner. He added: “I said, ‘No problem.’ She’s a fine motherf***er. She had the most beautiful legs I ever saw in my life. Wrong father, though.”
