A significant musical management name has passed ... rip Bob...

He made stars out of a lot of people, Cream at the top of my list. I recall reading that he built grueling tour schedules for all his acts, and that's probably a factor in why a lot of them are legendary. I think the Bee Gees were also in his stable. Wasn't he also married to Yvonne Elliman?

Then theres this... :sad:

Since when is girls in bondage and Steven Tyler (of the fanous "Future Villian Band" :) ) giving a cracker version of a Beatles classic a bad
sin thing?

Herr Stigwood might have erred some of the time but he at least left a stamp on popular music and helped generate substantial parts of it. We have yet to wait whether Spotify will do the same.

So you found a sweet spot. However...

:mrgreen: I agree that having the Bee Gees do Sgt. Pepper was ill-advised (to put it mildly)! Bad career move for them too. And that is coming from me where I like all eras of the Bee Gees and consider Stayin' Alive and Nights on Broadway blue-eyed soul classics.
I regret never seeing them live. I saw Robin once (about a year or two before he passed away), but of course he had his limits when it came to performing the Barry falsetto material.
I really dug Maurice's bass playing. That was laid-back, yet had a funky snap.

Helped to drive the last nail in the coffin of Frampton's success (at that point) as well.

Yup, he was spoon-feeding his worst haters with that step. That and the cover of I'm in You (as well as the song itself). I actually regard the guy as an allround consumate musician and a very pleasant (in the positive sense of the word) guitarist. Humble Pie suffered a loss when he left them. Clempson is a great guitarist but he was more workman-like than Frampton.
