Back when my band was making the showcase rounds in NYC in the late 80s, he came out to check out the band a couple of times.
He was such a nice man. He took us aside at one of the showcases and told us not to lose patience if we didn't get a deal right away. And he was right - we stuck it out, and two years later we finally signed our deal with Warner.
He wrote modern American music history almost single-handedly. Given the marketing majors and corporate greedheads who have infested the music industry nowadays, it's safe to say there will never be another like him.
I'm so sad to hear about the passing of this great man. RIP, Mr. Ertegun.
