Legendary producer Quincy Jones is in court now in a Los Angeles court fight over royalties. Jones is claiming that Michael Jackson Estate didn’t completely pay him $30 million for producing services of the 2009 documentary of THIS IS IT.
McKool said the film made use of Jackson’s original recordings, but that Jones was not given an adequate share of the licensing fee. McKool said the film grossed more than $500 million, of which the estate took $90 million, but that Jones was paid only $455,000.
