Music Legend Quincy Jones Is A Fan Of Gurrumul

Music industry legend Quincy Jones has praised Australian indigenous artist Gurrumul.

The veteran music producer and executive, who is credited as one of the driving forces behind Michael Jackson's success during the '70s and '80s particularly through his work on the classic Thriller album, took to his Twitter and official Facebook page to express his love for the acclaimed musician.

Jones tweeted a short vine telling his near 500K followers to check out Gurrumul while's he's performing around the US soon, and he posted a longer piece on his Facebook, calling the Australian "a friend who I think will blow your mind" and "his voice paints a story that you won't want to miss."

Gurrumul thanked Jones for his support not long after the Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame member made the posts about him.

Gurrumul begins his US tour at the end of next month.
