Music legend Quincy Jones had a medical scare Thursday but is okay, his spokesman said.
The 82-year-old composer and record producer fell ill at his Bel Air house and was taken to a hospital, sources said.
"At 1:20 p.m. we received a call for unspecified medical aid," a Los Angeles fire department spokeswoman said when asked about activity at Jones' address. She said an ambulance transported one patient.
"Quincy is fine. He had some shortness of breath and in an abundance of caution he went in for observation. He is fine though," Jones' spokesman Arnold Robinson said in a statement to the Daily News.
Celebrity website TMZ.com first reported the emergency and said Jones was suffering from severe chest pains.
With 27 Grammy Awards under his belt, Jones has worked with Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Sarah Vaughan, Duke Ellington, Dean Martin, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder during his storied career.
He co-produced Michael Jackson's 1979 album "Off The Wall" along with "Thriller" in 1982 and "Bad" in 1987.
He now is suing the King of Pop's estate claiming he's owed millions in back royalties.
