Parks and recreation star Rashida paid tribute to her late father in an emotional Instagram post on Thursday, November 7.
“My father was nocturnal his entire adult life. He loved “jazz acids” right out of high school and never looked back. When I was little I would wake up in the middle of the night looking for him,” Rashida, 48, wrote alongside a photo of her father holding her as a baby. “He would undoubtedly be composing somewhere in the house (old school, with a pen and sheet music). He would never send me to bed again. He smiled and held me in his arms as he continued to work… There was no safer place in the world for me.”
Quincy Jones had the magical touch when it came to music production, so when he teamed up with Michael Jackson, they were destined for greatness.

She continued, “He was a giant. An icon. A culture changer. A genius. All accurate descriptions of my father, but his music (and ALL his work) was a conduit for his love. He WAS love. He made everyone he ever met feel loved and seen. That is his legacy. I was fortunate to experience this love up close.”
Rashida ended her note with a message to her late father. “I will miss his hugs and kisses and unconditional devotion and advice,” she wrote. “Dad, it is an honor to be your daughter. Your love lives forever.”
