Quincy Jones's heartbreaking final post revealed as touching message to his daughter


The music icon posted a heartbreaking final message to his daughter Martina just hours before he passed away.

On such classic tracks as 'Billie Jean' and 'Don't Stop `Til You Get Enough,' Jones and Jackson fashioned a global soundscape out of disco, funk, rock, pop, R&B and jazz and African chants. For 'Thriller,' some of the most memorable touches originated with Jones, who recruited Eddie Van Halen for a guitar solo on the genre-fusing 'Beat It' and brought in Vincent Price for a ghoulish voiceover on the title track. He also received France's Legion d'Honneur, the Rudolph Valentino Award from the Republic of Italy and a Kennedy Center tribute for his contributions to American culture.
