From the Publisher:
The definitive biography of the king of the rock 'n' roll business, Ahmet Ertegun, the founder of Atlantic Records. |
Annotation:
Ahmet Ertegun, the son of a Turkish ambassador to the U.S., died at the age of 83 in 2006 (significantly, he tripped and injured himself backstage at a Rolling Stones concert), leaving a rich musical legacy and a larger-than-life mythos that Robert Greenfield's biography does little to taint. Ertegun is famous for having founded (with Herb Abramson) Atlantic Records in 1947, discovering and promoting some of the world's most important rock, soul, jazz, and pop musicians, including Ray Charles, the above-mentioned Stones, Cream, and Aretha Franklin. Greenfield's book focuses mainly on the shrewd Ertegun's business dealings, providing old-school entrepreneurial inspiration, while also detailing his uncanny knack for discovering the greats.
