RIP Bruce, a one of a kind talent

As I understood it, Bruce did 91 music mixes of Billie Jean,

So sad. Bruce was a genius and a terrific guy from what I hear. He will be greatly missed.

It always made me wonder if Qs senility had kicked in extra early when he said he wanted to lop off the intro. Thats what makes the whole track, you fool.

Back to Bruce, he had the best set of ears a producer could ask for as the engineer is the one who makes sure it knocks and very few people can come close to what he did.
