Heaven Won but his music lives forever

Legendary music producer Quincy Jones dies at 91

The Sinatra song that says everything about Quincy Jones’s genius
“Fly Me to the Moon” didn’t fly until Q got his hands on it.

Music titan Quincy Jones, legendary producer of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller,' dies at 91

I can't find the link where I read this :( but, a simple time signature change - from 3/4 to 4/4,
changed "Fly Me to the Moon" from a waltz into a jazz standard.

He co-wrote "We Are The World", among his many other compositions, and was a fantastic arranger.
