And, on this night, she had her dark tresses styled in a shoulder-length bob, complete with major volume and curls.

Tuesday's tribute concert comes just four days after the Netflix documentary 'Quincy' premiered. 

Quincy's daughter/actress, Rashida Jones, worked with filmmaker Alan Hicks on the project, which has been described as 'an intimate look into the life of the iconic music producer, trumpeter, songwriter, conductor, composer and music arranger.'

The IMDb synopsis added: 'A unique force in music and popular culture for 70 years, Jones has transcended racial and cultural boundaries; his story is inextricably woven into the fabric of America.' 

Rashida, 42, and Hicks had the monumental task of sifting through 800 hours of new video they shot and 2,000 hours of archival footage. 

The music legend came to prominence in the 1950s as a jazz arranger and conductor, before moving on to popular music and film scores.

Along the way he won 27 Grammys and produced albums for late musical icons such as Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, and Aretha Franklin. 

Quincy Jones turned 85 back on March 14.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
