Yeah. A real Zelig of late 20th century music. He was everywhere.

And a woman-magnet of the first order. Mick Jagger could only hope to keep up.

Watch Rashida Jones' documentary on him if you haven't already.

i was definitely a fan of his music and then you learn of his personal life and he certainly lived a life.

i dont know how or why i picked it up but i have this album "The Original Jam Sessions 1969" and it's quincy and, unfortunately bill cosby, as it was meant as background music for cosby's first tv show, though cosby really isn't on it other than scattin' on 1 song. that said, it's an amazing jazz album and has possibly one of my favorite songs ever, groovy gravy.

Hadn't heard about this. He was brilliant.

RIP

RIP - music he put his stamp on has been a staple of the soundtrack of the different eras of my life. A true legend.
