There is no denying the genius artistry of Michael Jackson and the genius production skills of Quincy Jones. Besides my aunt Carolyn, Quincy was one of the main reasons I wanted to become a musician. Michael and Janet heavily influenced me as a performer and writer like they have influenced so many artists. Later in meeting and visiting my father James Jones, I realized that he played piano and keyboard too. Some in the industry call me Sweet James Jones because of my crazy talented father. Long story that will be in my upcoming book. It's always great to see the next generation honoring family and good music. I'm looking forward to seeing Jaafar play in the movie Michael. It's a trip down memory lane. ❤️
