review 1: Ahmet was the center of so much culture. This guy was a Hugh Hefner style hero. First he made the kind of records I'd kill for with jazz/soul/blues greats, then he almost invented the rock'n roll lifestyle.There's a bit at the end about how he got the most out of life; that much is clear. Makes you want to make more happen for you, all while ignoring what your high school health teacher told you about taking risks...Also Edgar Bronfman (former CEO of Warner Music) makes an appearance at the end. He is the grandson of Samuel Bronfman who's story was in the last book I read on Prohibition. A look into the weasel class.
review 2: I really enjoyed reading this book. Ahmet Ertegun was all you ever thought he was and so much more. I knew he was a brilliant and b... morerash music mentor and legend, discovering/signing the likes of Ray Charles, Bobby Darin, Sonny and Cher, Eric Clapton, CSN&Y, and many others, but I didn't know all that much about his life and over-the-top personality. He was a cultured man with a love of the finer things in life, but was never happier than when he was listening to music, especially that of musicians he was sure would be the next great star. And he sure knew how to pick the next great star. If you have an interest in a behind-the-scenes look at the discovery and nurturing of some of the greatest talent that rock music has ever produced and of the man who took them under his wing and introduced them to the world, then read this book. Highly recommended. less
