Last Of The Record Men

In trying to find something new to add to the legacy of Ahmet Ertegun Dies at 83, my first reaction is that he was the last of the initial Rock era's record men. All the men who founded record companies that created Rock and Roll are now gone: Sam Phillips was the last before Ertegun. There are still old-fashioned record people alive: Jerry Wexler and Clive Davis. But they didn't form there own companies. Ertegun was the last.
