He says the singer's estate and Sony Music Entertainment improperly re-edited songs to deprive him of royalties and production fees. Mr Jones says they also broke an agreement giving him the right to remix master recordings for albums released after Jackson's death in 2009. He produced some of Jackson's top discs including Off the Wall and Thriller. The Jackson estate said that it was saddened by the lawsuit. "To the best of its knowledge, Mr Jones has been appropriately compensated over approximately 35 years for his work with Michael," a statement said. Quincy Jones's lawsuit is seeking at least $10m (£6m) from the singer's estate and Sony. How sad! I hope they settle amicably.
