Never heard of him until yesterday.
I read he did make quite a name for himself in the music industry. He wrote a lot of hits for the Everly Bros. (ao Bowling Green)
I found this on Facebook:
Terry Slater (born in London, England) is an English former musician and music manager.
As young he played as a concert musician for bands like Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Little Richard and the Everly Brothers and others. After many years as a concert musician, he began in 1972 and working in the music industry commercial side, including a career in EMI in England, where he eventually finished as director in 1979. He worked with bands and artists such as Queen, Kate Bush, Sex Pistols and Duran Duran. He stopped for a while and worked independently in search of talented bands.
§Slater and a-ha [edit | edit source]
Slater was the one who "discovered" the Norwegian pop band a-ha, and is often called "the fourth member of a-ha." With his long experience in the music industry, he became the band's first manager, and played a vital role in the history of a-ha. Along with John Ratcliff, he founded the company TJ Management to take care of a-ha.
Cooperation ended after the album Memorial Beach from 1993. At Minor Earth Major Sky from 2000, the band's first album after a seven-year break, it was Brian Lane and his Bandana Management which accounted for Management.
