As the entertainment industry continues to reel after the news of Quincy Jones‘ death, many of his fans – including celebrity admirers – took to the Web to offer tributes and reflect on their favorite memories of the late musical genius.

Just like superstars Beyonce, Will Smith, Bruno Mars, Oprah Winfrey, and many others, Celine Dion, U2‘s Bono, Barbra Streisand, Dr. Dre, Jamie Foxx, Elton John, Paul McCartney, and even political figures like President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Barack Obama, and former First Lady Michelle Obama joined the chorus.

Look inside to see how they remembered Quincy.

 “For all of us who value what Quincy Jones contributed to art, society and the human race, he was the World, we are his children. Never to be forgotten for his inimitable talent and legendary contribution to music and culture, and the goal of healing the world, Q was also a profoundly wonderful mentor, a doer and a uniter. Most of all, he was our friend. All of us who were lucky enough to be in his circle were given nicknames by Q. Mine was ‘Carl,’ because in 1980 when we met, my answering machine had a voice message where you heard me doing a terrible impression of Carl Sagan. He never called me by my first name again. He was deeply committed to family. Everyone close to him felt special and blessed just to listen and learn and laugh. Just yesterday, like he had for the past 33 years, he sent flowers to my wife Kate for her birthday. We will miss him, but there is so much of him surrounding us to keep him close,” said Steven Spielberg.
