Black Hollywood Came Out To Honor Quincy Jones

By Joi-Marie McKenzie · Updated December 6, 2020

It was a star-studded night in Tinsel Town as Black Hollywood came out to honor Quincy Jones earlier this week. The music icon, who is celebrating his 85th birthday this year, is the subject of a new BET special we can’t wait to watch. It’s called Q85: A Musical Celebration For Quincy Jones, which honored the life and legacy of the Grammy Award-winning producer.

Singers, including John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Charlie Wilson, Cynthia Erivo, Ledisi, Fantasia, and Yolanda Adams all graced the stage. And it looks like his daughter, actress Rashida Jones, also joined him at the celebration. Although it was taped Tuesday night inside Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theatre LA Live, fans can see all of the fun when BET airs Q85. The air date has yet to be announced.

Ne-Yo said that “enough is enough” when he took to his Instagram to say that he, too, would #MuteRKelly: “There is NO excuse. Music is important. It really is. But it’s not more important than protecting our children, protecting our little girls. PERIOD.”
