Colman Domingo, Michael Caine and Victoria Monét were among prominent Hollywood figures to pay tribute to Quincy Jones following news of his death early Monday.

Jones died Sunday evening at his home in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, surrounded by his family.

A giant in the music industry, Jones’ phenomenal career spanned more than 60 years. He produced Michael Jackson’s best-selling albums Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad; handled the historic recording sessions for the 1985 charity single “We Are the World,” the best-selling single of all time; and produced Lesley Gore’s 1963 hit “It’s My Party.”

Jones received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award from the Motion Picture Academy in 1995, an honorary Oscar in 2024 and the Grammy Legend Award in 1991, and has collected 28 Grammys from the top 80 nominations of all time.

Oscar-winning actor Michael Caine, Jones’ longtime friend and “celestial twin,” tweeted: “My heavenly twin Quincy was a titan in the musical world. He was a wonderful and unique person who was fortunate to have known him.”

Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Victoria Monét tweeted: “💔💔💔💔💔 to one of my biggest inspirations! Quincy, I love you so much!!! Your legacy will live on forever 😢 Heaven sure got an upgrade with you.”

Actor Colman Domingo tweeted: “He asked: where are you from? Philly I replied, his eyes sparkled and he talked about the Uptown Theater. I was so excited to see Mr. American Music itself. I literally knelt because he was a king. Thank you Mr. Quincy Jones for providing all the audio.”

English musician Billy Bragg tweeted: “Quincy Jones has produced so much great music during his long career, but I never knew he was responsible for the soundtrack to The Italian Job! Here’s a great example of his genius production and arrangement. Goodbye, sir.”

Playwright and actor Jeremy O. Harris tweeted: “What couldn’t he do? Quincy Jones, literally born when the limits of how big a black boy could dream were unfathomably high, taught us that the limit does not exist. His contributions to American culture were limitless. First black person nominated for an Oscar for best score. First black person later nominated twice in the same year. The producer of undisputedly the greatest albums of the 20th century. An EGOT. Father of some incredibly talented children and godfather to musicians all over the world. RIP QUINCY. This is killing me. I wish I could have told him how much he meant to me when I read about him as a teenager in Virginia. When I was in Tokyo, I heard stories from people like Makoto Ozone, a Japanese jazz musician, about his mentorship. He was the model for experiencing art.”

Jazz critic and music historian Ted Goia tweeted: “RIP Quincy Jones, who leaves us at the age of 91. No musician of his generation moved so effortlessly and brilliantly between styles and settings – collaborating with everyone from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson to Miles Davis. What a remarkable career!”

South African singer and songwriter Lady Zamar tweeted: “Quincy Jones is one of the most prolific musos of our time, a pioneer and scholar. he produced my favorite album of all time, thriller: such an amazing oeuvre… a man we can now celebrate in these sad times.’

Broadcaster Skip Bayless tweeted: “RIP Quincy Jones, a star-making genius.”

Dolemite is my name screenwriter Larry Karaszewski tweeted: “RIP Quincy Jones. The GOAT – So many great soundtracks, albums and songs. My son’s middle name is Quincy – he was born the night Q produced the Oscars.”

Actor Colin Salmon tweeted: “Quincy Jones was a real musical Don, by Ray Charles, Sinatra, Michael Jackson; more recently championing Jacob Collier and beyond. As a child, his biggest influence for me was the soundtrack to The Italian Job. Yes, the Self Preservation Society was written by him. Thank you Maestro, you changed the world. TEAR”

Hootie and Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker tweeted: “We have lost one of the all-time greats. The world will miss Quincy Jones. Rest my friend.”

Journalist Roland Martin tweeted: “Peace and love to one of the greatest ever. Quincy Jones is now an ancestor.”

Legendary French singer Line Renaud tweeted: “Quincy, my dear Quincy, you too have joined the stars and this morning my heart is heavy. With you life was swinging, it was jazzing, you were joy and rhythm, you were a genius!

Ghanaian-American singer Amaarae tweeted: “I thought Quincy Jones would live forever 💔. What an incredible loss. RIP to the best who ever did it! 🕊️”
