He is best known as the producer of the album Thriller, by pop icon Michael Jackson, which sold 104 million copies worldwide, and as the co-writer (with Michael Jackson) and producer of the charity song “We Are the World”.

In 1968, Quincy Jones and his songwriting partner Bob Russell became the first African-Americans to be nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Original Song category. That same year, Quincy Jones became the first African-American to be nominated twice within the same year when he was nominated for Best Original Score for his work on the music of In Cold Blood. Quincy Jones was also the first (and so far, the only) African-American to be nominated as a producer in the category of Best Picture (in 1986, for The Color Purple).
