ReplyDeleteLiving Musical Legend.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite musicians. He is also one of the most successful and wealthy musicians thanks to (Tijuana Brass, hit records) and, more significantly, a shrewd entrepreneur who co-founded and built A&M Records, selling it for a huge sum, plus substantial income from music publishing, royalties, real estate, and ongoing artistic endeavors like painting and performing in jazz clubs (still), making him one of music's wealthiest figures. He is brilliant and smart.
Compassion, Creativity, Philanthropist.
