Quincy Jones Paid Generation-Spanning, Genre-Crossing Tribute With All-Star Grammys Performance
The legendary Quincy Jones received an all-star Grammy tribute performance led by Will Smith, Herbie Hancock, Janelle Monáe and more.
The performance was introduced by Will Smith, who acknowledged his career would not be what it is without the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air executive producer and composer (later calling him “a mentor, friend, father figure”). Monáe paid homage to Jones’ incredible run of collaboration with Michael Jackson with a performance of their first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 together, “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough,” complete with an “I (Heart) QJ” t-shirt that she unveiled while dancing on the tables in the Crypto.com Arena crowd.
