$30 million does not seem like he was asking for much (after taxes would be $15 million). Then the legal fees. I have bought all three of the Quincy Jones executive produced MJ albums in addition to This Is It since MJ passed away. I've bought Thriller three times since MJ passed. Two CD's (one Deluxe and both Remastered) and a Vinyl LP. We can't have Quincy not getting paid. The man is 87 years young and together with Michael, changed the music industry forever. If Quincy Jones can't get paid what he feels he deserves then what are all the producer/songwriters out here going to expect?
