Quincy’s Grammys Tribute Also Honored Michael
At last night’s Grammy Awards, the music industry paid tribute to the legendary Quincy Jones, who passed away in November at the age of 91.
Will Smith, who collaborated with Quincy on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” in the 1990s, hosted this heartfelt segment of the ceremony. Among the standout performances, Stevie Wonder delivered a rendition of “We Are the World”, the 1985 charity anthem co-written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, with Herbie Hancock accompanying him on piano.
For the grand finale, Janelle Monáe electrified the stage with a high-energy performance of “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”, donning Michael’s signature sparkly socks, black pants, and loafers. The set even featured a moonwalk, a fitting homage to Michael while honoring Quincy’s profound legacy. The moment echoed the Grammys’ 2010 tribute to Michael, which honored his passing 15 years ago with a tribute for him.
