Another Legend has passed away. The Dude will now lead the Heavenly Chior. 🎶 🙏
What were some of your Quincy Jones favorites?

Named after the legendary Quincy Jones, a man who was not only a monumental influence in my life but someone I called family. His gift to the world was beyond music; it was love, joy, and a spirit that brought people together & timeless memories that will forever live on. My parents knew what they were doing naming me after you. A name that carries the legacy of a king who blessed millions with his magic — Quincy, you were truly one of a kind. Rest in heaven Godfather. I love you. 💜

Today would have been John Lennon's 84th birthday...In December 1965, I was in Muskogee, Oklahoma having just purchased The Beatles latest album 'Rubber Soul'. Staring at the cover, you couldn't help but notice the change from the first black and white picture sleeve for 'I Want To Hold Your Hand'. Even that couldn't prepare me for what was in the grooves of the disc inside. A revolutionary shift from their earlier recordings. this record contains my all-time favorite John Lennon song 'In My Life'...
Written when John was just 24, it took me until I was in my 60's to fully understand the depth of the lyrics. John considered the song his "first major piece of work"...
more than 'Imagine', and more than any other Beatles or solo Lennon song, this one still speaks to me louder than any other...
I have no idea how John could have written such a song at such an early age, but I'm grateful he did...
Happy birthday John!
