– “We have lost a pure, unadulterated genius. The music of the 20th century bears his mark,” writes playwright Lynn Nottage about X.

– “My hero. truly one of the greatest minds the music world has ever known. he was so kind to me, so wonderful, such an influence. his legacy and his music will live on forever. thanks for everything, Q. you were the guy,” Harry Connick Jr. on Instagram.
