“Tonight, it is with full but broken hearts that we share the news of the passing of our father and brother Quincy Jones,” Robinson said in a statement.

“And while this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the amazing life he lived and know there will never be another like him.”

She also made the 2018 Netflix documentary ‘Quincy’ about her father, which won the Grammy Award for best music film.

Quincy previously addressed fatherhood in a Facebook post in 2018.

“Never underestimate your role in your child’s life… I learned that later in life, but I’m so glad I finally figured it out because being a father is hands down one of the greatest blessings!!” he wrote at the time.

“I am forever grateful to my father for working so hard to keep a roof over our heads in the 1930s, during the Great Depression,” he continued. “I’m telling you, it’s up to you to create the kind of relationship you want to have with your child, and it’s never too late to start!”

Quincy worked with Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson and Ray Charles, among others. His illustrious career included 28 Grammys, two honorary Academy Awards and an Emmy Award.
