Colman Domingo, Michael Caine and Victoria Monét were among the prominent Hollywood personalities who paid tribute to Quincy Jones after news of his death broke early Monday.

Jones died Sunday evening at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles surrounded by his family.

A giant of the music industry, Jones' phenomenal career spanned more than 60 years. He produced Michael Jackson's bestselling albums Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad; led the historic recording sessions for the 1985 charity single “We Are the World,” the best-selling single of all time; and produced Lesley Gore's 1963 chart-topper “It's My Party.”

Jones received the Motion Picture Academy's Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 1995, an honorary Oscar in 2024 and the Grammy Legend Award in 1991, and has received 28 Grammys out of the top 80 nominations of all time.

Oscar-winning actor Michael Caine, Jones' longtime friend and “heavenly twin,” tweeted: “My heavenly twin Quincy was a titan in the music world. He was a wonderful and unique person, I was lucky to have known him.”

Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Victoria Monét tweeted: “💔💔💔💔💔 to one of my biggest inspirations! Quincy, I love you so much!!! Your legacy will live on forever and ever 😢 Heaven definitely got an upgrade with you.”

Actor Colman Domingo tweeted: “He asked: Where are you from? Philly, I replied, his eyes twinkling and he was talking about the Uptown Theater. I was so excited to meet Mr. American Music in person. I literally knelt because he was a king. Thank you, Mr. Quincy Jones, for setting the tone for us.”

English musician Billy Bragg tweeted: “Quincy Jones has produced so much great music throughout his long career, but I never knew he was responsible for the soundtrack to The Italian Job! Here is a great example of his genius production and arrangement. See you then, sir.”

Playwright and actor Jeremy O. Harris tweeted: “What couldn’t he do? Quincy Jones was literally born when the limits of how big a black boy could dream were unimaginably high and taught us that there are no limits. His contributions to American culture were limitless. First black person to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Score. The first black person was later nominated twice in the same year. The producer of arguably the greatest albums of the 20th century. An EGO. Father to some incredibly talented children and godfather to musicians around the world. RIP QUINCY. This is killing me. I wish I could have told him how much he meant to me when I read about him as a teenager in Virginia. When I was in Tokyo, I heard stories from people like Makoto Ozone, a Japanese jazz musician, about his mentorship. He was the model for how to live art.”

Jazz critic and music historian Ted Goia tweeted: “RIP Quincy Jones leaving us at age 91. No musician of his generation moved between styles and settings so effortlessly and brilliantly – he worked with everyone from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson to Miles Davis. What a remarkable career!”

South African singer and songwriter Lady Zamar tweeted: “Quincy Jones is one of the most prolific musicians of our time, a trailblazer and a scholar. He produced my favorite album of all time, Thriller: such an amazing body of work… a man we can now celebrate at this sad time.”

Broadcaster Skip Bayless tweeted: “RIP Quincy Jones, star-making genius.”

Dolemite is my name Screenwriter Larry Karaszewski tweeted: “RIP Quincy Jones. The GOAT – So many great soundtracks, albums and songs. My son’s middle name is Quincy – he was born the night Q brought out the Oscars.”

Actor Colin Salmon tweeted: “Quincy Jones was a true musical Don, from Ray Charles, Sinatra, Michael Jackson; More recently he has championed Jacob Collier and beyond. As a child, his biggest influence for me was the soundtrack to “The Italian Job.” Yes, the Self Preservation Society was written by him. Thank you Maestro, you changed the world. REST IN PEACE”

Hootie and the Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker tweeted: “We lost one of the greats. The world will miss Quincy Jones. Rest my friend.”

Journalist Roland Martin tweeted: “Peace and love to one of the greatest of all time. Quincy Jones is now an ancestor.”

Legendary French singer Line Renaud tweeted: “Quincy, my dear Quincy, you too have joined the stars and this morning my heart is heavy. With you, life swung, it moaned, you were joy and rhythm, you were a genius!”

Ghanaian-American singer Amaarae tweeted: “I thought Quincy Jones would live forever 💔. What an incredible loss. RIP to the best thing ever! 🕊️”
