The Globe reports Quincy Jones upcoming memoir Q due out in November reveals details of the music moguls work with Michael Jackson when they worked together on the 1983 Thriller album. Jones says, “He was so shy he’d sit down and sing behind the couch with his back to me, while I sat with my hands over my eyes with the lights off.”
Jones adds, “Michael lived in a fantasyland because that’s what worked for him. I don’t know how anybody could expect him to end up like Mr. Joe Next Door… he’s been in the public eye since he was 5 years old.”
