Michael called me in London when they sold the concerts out. I was there and he wanted to come over and bring the kids. And I had a dinner that night and I said I\u2019d see him in Los Angeles. I never talked to him again. It tore my heart out. I was his age when I produced him. I still cannot believe to this day that he\u2019s not here, my little brother.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I know there are tons of songs from the Bad, Thriller, and Off the Wall sessions that were cut because they weren\u2019t as good as the rest. Do you plan on ever releasing those?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. That\u2019s the reason we took them out in the first place. At the end of a record, I\u2019d take the four that I thought were the weakest out of the other ones and try to find the four that are stronger than anything else on the album. And it always works for me. We went through 800 songs to do Thriller. That\u2019s a lot of songs, man.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/music-mix.ew.com\/2010\/11\/02\/quincy-jones-qa\/\">MusicMix<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Music Mix caught up with Quincy Jones to chat about why his unreleased Michael Jackson songs will stay that way&#8230; It looks like Sony will be putting out a Michael Jackson album of unreleased songs soon\u2026 Michael and I did our thing.
