Quincy Jones paid tribute to the late Aretha Franklin in a brief statement on Thursday following Franklin’s death at age 76. Rolling Stone reports that Jones said, “From the time that Dinah Washington first told me that Aretha was the ‘next one’ when she was 12 years old until the present day, Aretha Franklin set the bar upon which every female singer has and will be measured". Jones and Franklin began working together in 1973 on Franklin's 'Hey Now Hey' album.
