Dick Rising was a real person, He was VP of Capital Records back in the 50 through the early 70s, he was in charge of sales & marketing .He was a great guy that really knew the music business. I met him in 1973 & went to work for him when I was 19 yeas old. He lived in an apartment complex that was right around the corner from Capital Records, it was in a pretty bad neighborhood so he had a special security door installed for protection. I saw him on a Friday afternoon we had lunch and finished the day . He was murdered that weekend by to low life addicts that lived t in the complex. He was a Great guy & I will always remember him with deep respect
