Music Mogul

Ahmet Ertegun died last Thursday at the age of 83. He was a pioneer in the music business - ran Atlantic Records for most of his life and made multi millions sellers of groups such as The Rolling Stones, and started Ruth Brown's career (she also died recently), plus Aretha Franklin,Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Led Zepplin and Ray Charles. One of the greatest Blues record producers, ever. Sadly, he died after being injured in a fall backstage at a Rolling Stones gig on October 29th).
