I don't know how many of you know about this guy, but he was the founder of Atlantic Records with his brother Nesuhi, and he founded and supported many of the best musicians in the 20th century. Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Cream...the list goes on and on. Always passionate about music, he had a lifelong love of jazz and became close friends with many of his artists. Wish there were more like him in the industry with his fire and dedication; it'd be such a better place today. RIP...
