| ...see link at bottom There once was a record business, you know. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,299271,00.html Steve Popovich, who’s been in a long legal battle with his former employer, Sony/Columbia, over Meat Loaf — which he originally cooked — was there when things were hopping. He sent me an e-mail the other day after Bruce Springsteen’s triumphant performance on the "Today" show. “The first albums on Columbia worked by my staff and I are still killer over 30 years later," he writes. "Steve Van Zandt produced 'Southside' and I signed them at epic. ... the E Street band were on my first single on Cleveland International by Ronnie Spector, 'Say Goodbye to Hollywood.' … "E Street members played on 'Bat Out of Hell' and albums by Jim Steinman, Ellen Foley, Ian Hunter’s classic 'You’re Never Alone' and Iron City Houserockers. ... ’77 to ‘80 they were sort of my house band. ... "I’m proud of the fact that from ‘74 to ‘77 my staff and I signed Michael and the Jacksons, Joe Tex, Southside, Boston, Jaco Pastorius, Cheap Trick, Engelbert, Tom Jones, Wild Cherry, all of whom continue to generate millions. ... "At 26 I was the first VP at Columbia during the Clive years: Earth, Wind and Fire, Chicago, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Dylan, Boz Scaggs, Johnny Cash, etc. We were the music people!!!!!” You can read all about Steve’s amusing adventures in the vinyl trade on his blog at www.oneamericanagainstsonymusic.com | |
