Quincy Jones produced some of the greatest pop music of the last 50 years, but he also created some of television and film’s most recognizable themes.

The Austin Powers movies would've never taken off the way they did had it not been for the late Quincy Jones' musical contributions.

Jones saw a superstar quality in Jackson and became his producer and mentor, first on 1979's Off the Wall, which was a major hit, and then 1982's Thriller, which reached new heights of commercial and critical success, and made Jackson the undisputed King of Pop.
