Alas, my blog is now looking like the obits section of a local paper. I have already mentioned the recent deaths of William Styron and Robert Altman.
But, it would be hard for me to overlook Ahmet Ertegun. The prominent Turkish-American was the founder of Atlantic Records and help bring acts like Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones into our pop culture. He died at age 83 this week. Another Turkish-American record producer Arif Mardin died earlier this year.
There is a tribute page to his memory at the Atlantic Records web site.
