Yeah, I heard an interview with Aretha Franklin this morning talking about him and how Mr. Ertegaun would tell her if she was smoking too much back in the day and pretty much gave her all kinds of coaching and feedback, she said she was a two pack a day smoker for a long time....anyhow RIP to him as he was one of the most influential masterminds in the music that is now legendary and continues! I wish there was another era like that to come around!
