The news of all-time great music producer Quincy Jones' passing hit the world this past Sunday, and with it came reminders that he spilled some of the most iconic celebrity tea ever to be spilled.
Jones, who died at age 91, produced records for artists like Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, and Lesley Gore, including songs like "Billie Jean," "Thriller," "Come Fly With Me," "We Are the World," and "It's My Party." He also wrote "Soul Bossa Nova," which later became the theme song for the Austin Powers movies.
In his career, he won 28 Grammy awards, a Primetime Emmy, a Tony, and was nominated for seven competitive Academy Awards.
But for many, one of his lasting impacts will always be his incredible interviews, where he often spilled celebrity tea no one else was willing to talk about.
One particular interview with Vulture has been coming up a lot, and not just because he called the Beatles "the worst musicians in the world" and "no-playing motherf*ckers."
In that interview, he was also asked about dancing, and when the cha-cha was brought up, he dropped a major bomb.
"Brando used to go cha-cha dancing with us," Jones said, referring to famous, two-time Oscar-winning actor Marlon Brando. "He could dance his ass off. He was the most charming motherf*cker you ever met. He'd f*ck anything. Anything! He'd f*ck a mailbox. James Baldwin. Richard Pryor. Marvin Gaye."
When the reporter asked how he knew Brando (who married and divorced multiple women during his lifetime) slept with those men, Jones simply frowned and said, "Come on, man. He did not give a f*ck! You like Brazilian music?"
While Baldwin was publicly out, Brando, Pryor, and Gaye did not come out or address their sexualities during their lifetimes and were all dead at the time of Jones' interview with Vulture.
Elsewhere in the interview, Jones also revealed that one thing he wished he didn't know was "who killed Kennedy."
"[Chicago mobster Sam] Giancana," Jones said. "The connection was there between Sinatra and the Mafia and Kennedy. Joe Kennedy – he was a bad man – he came to Frank to have him talk to Giancana about getting votes."
RIP to a true legend.
