Quincy Jones To Pay Tribute To MJ

by Dean

Rapper Wyclef will take part in Quincy Jones' an all-star tribute to Michael Jackson this October on the island of Bermuda.

Wyclef will join artists Patti Austin, James Ingram, Erykah Badu, John Legend, Michael McDonald, Kenny Rogers and Naturally Seven during the "Quincy Jones and Friends" festival from October 29-31.

On the final night, there will be a featured performance and dedication to Michael Jackson's "Thriller," which Jones produced.

During the weekend, Jones will receive the African Diaspora Heritage Trail Award for changing the way music and philanthropy interact, due to his "We are The World" track, which is the best-selling single of all-time.

The effort raised over $63 million dollars for Ethiopia.
