Posted May 25, 200718 yr Quincy Jones snubs chance to team up with Michael Jackson Veteran producer says he's 'too busy' to work with his old friend NME.com 2 hours ago Veteran producer Quincy Jones has snubbed the chance to work with Michael Jackson again. The legend, who produced Jacko's 1982 album 'Thriller', still the best-selling LP of all time, said he had been in contact with the singer. He told NME.COM: "Man please, I've got enough to do. We already did that. I have talked to him about working with him again but I've got too much to do. I've got 900 products, I'm 74 years old. Give me a break." Jones, who picked up The Special International Award at the Ivor Novello Awards, also praised Amy Winehouse and her producer Mark Ronson. He added: "Mark Ronson is almost my son-in-law. He's a great producer and I'm a big fan of Amy's music." As previously reported on NME.COM, Jackson had been rumoured to be working on tracks in Ireland with Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am. The singer hasn't released a studio album since 2001's 'Invincible', but a new song recently surfaced on the web featuring Fugees member Pras. If I remember correctly didn't Michael ditch Quincy for his Dangerous album, in which case I'm not surprised by Quincy's comments. What do you think?
May 25, 200718 yr If this Quincy Jones doesn't want to work with Michael, he will be the one to lose, not Michael -_-
May 25, 200718 yr It's a shame for Michael really as Quincy Jones could have helped make his comeback more credible to the rest of the music industry.
May 25, 200718 yr Michael Jackson is Michael Jackson :wub: i'm sure that he'll do his best, even without the help of this man
May 27, 200718 yr michaels better on his own, besides the album was finished a few weeks ago and is now being mixed and mastered.
May 27, 200718 yr Well i just hope that everything works out becuse they will be something else saying it was all a rumour like evrything else has. ^_^
May 28, 200718 yr Hmm, if they could re-create 'Thriller' then I would welcome it, but at 74 I can't imagine QJ being at his best, same goes for Michael. But I hope I am wrong. :D
