Just about everyone in music worshipped the work of the late, great Quincy Jones, among them Frank Sinatra, who not only gave the fabled musician and producer the nickname “Q,” but also bequeathed him a ring bearing the Sinatra family crest when Sinatra died in 1998.

Asked by “Sunday Morning” in 2008 what it was like to work with the Chairman of the Board, Jones replied, “You know, he had no gray. He either loved you or rolled over you in a Mack truck in reverse. There was nothing in-between!”

Jones was behind the scores for some 30 motion pictures, along with theme songs for TV classics like “Ironside” and “Sanford and Son.”

died last Sunday after living life his way.

“I don’t waste any moment of life,” he said. “I like to do all. I like good food and wine and beautiful women and beautiful music, whatever’s there, I’m interested in it, you know?  You know, that’s what living’s about. You get all the rest you want when you’re gone.”

Quincy Jones was 91 years old.
