Bruce Swedien, award-winning engineer for Michael Jackson's 'Thriller,' dies at 86
Recording engineer Bruce Swedien, whose Grammy-winning work in the studio with Quincy Jones on Michael Jackson's classic solo albums "Off the Wall," "Thriller" and "Bad" helped define the sound of pop music in the 1980s and beyond, has died. He was 86.
"He was without question the absolute best engineer in the business," wrote his longtime studio partner, Jones, adding that "for more than 70 years I wouldn't even think about going into a recording session unless I knew Bruce was behind the board."
