Benson's Gimme the Night sounded just as 'sonic' as Thriller, if not more so. I noticed this when it was a hit on the radio, just coming across my relatively cheap car speakers which were nothing special, long before decades before I ever knew Quincy was involved in it. Then once I found out, it was like 'no wonder George's record sounded like it did way back in 1981.'

I find it difficult and strange that none of his children have any musical talent. Quincy Jones is a man who in 1971 was music conductor and supervisor of the academy awards orchestra, which was a symphony orchestra. Quincy has written music and worked with some of the best artists in modern history. His son is a hip hop rapper influencd guy. His daughter is an actress in a trivial tv show. I don't get it. You would at least his son could play a musical instrument well.
