As the head of Columbia Records, the founder of Arista Records, the chairman of RCA Music Group, and the COO of Sony Music Entertainment, he championed artists including, to name just a few:<\/p>\n
Whitney Houston<\/li>\nPatti Smith<\/li>\nBruce Springsteen<\/li>\nBarry Manilow<\/li>\nBarbra Streisand<\/li>\nKelly Clarkson<\/li>\nSimon and Garfunkel<\/li>\nBilly Joel<\/li>\nEarth Wind and Fire<\/li>\nAlicia Keys <\/li>\nNotorious B.I.G.<\/li>\nRod Stewart\nHe was not without controversy. Famously, he made the choice to hold his Grammy party knowing that Whitney Houston, one of his artists, had died that same night. He also clashed with Kelly Clarkson, who disagreed with his choices and the direction he wanted for her career.<\/p>\n
I need some more celebs to start spilling some dirt now that he has passed, honestly.<\/i><\/p>\n
