The Dude [LP]
  • Nominated for 12 Grammy Awards, including a win for Jones for Producer of the Year, Quincy's 1981 album The Dude was simply one of the tightest realizations of his talents: orchestration, arranging, sequencing, his ear for anticipating new sounds, and ability to assemble a knock-out team of musicians, writers and engineers

Was Jones’s diagnosis the same as Steve Jobs’s or Aretha Franklin’s?

No. The Los Angeles Times later corrected its comparison: Steve Jobs and Aretha Franklin had pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, a different and rarer type. Their diagnoses should not be presented as the same cancer reported in Jones’s case. Los Angeles Times correction, November 18, 2024
