Veteran producer Quincy Jones has snubbed the chance to work with Michael Jackson again.

The legend, who produced Jacko's 1982 album Thriller, still the best-selling LP of all time, said he had been in contact with the singer.

He told NME.com: "Man please, I've got enough to do. We already did that. I have talked to him about working with him again but I've got too much to do. I've got 900 products, I'm 74 years old. Give me a break."

Jones, who picked up the Special International Award at the Ivor Novello Awards, also praised Amy Winehouse and her producer Mark Ronson.

He added: "Mark Ronson is almost my son-in-law. He's a great producer and I'm a big fan of Amy's music."

As previously reported on NME.com, Jackson had been rumored to be working on tracks in Ireland with Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.I.Am.

The singer hasn't released a studio album since 2001's Invincible, but a new song recently surfaced on the Web featuring Fugees member Pras.

That doesn`t sound like something that the Q man would say about working with MJ. I`m sure Quincy would love to work with Mike again. You know how the media tends to twist words around.

You never know these days, a shame whether it's true or not
They made history and were always good working together

I've heard they suffered a fallout after the release of "Bad" because Michael was emerging as his own writer and producer and I guess he wanted an edgier sound than what he had gotten with Quincy. I wonder how Michael will do with Will.I.Am...

That's a good point, but I think it's true for some reason. Quincy has been onto a certain vibe these past couple years trying to keep up with these younger artists (50 cent) who are not even worth a fraction of the time. Amy Winehouse looks and sounds like a crackhead for goodness sake but thats just my opinion anywhoo
