That's sad news. He really was one of the more important figures in the beginning of Rock'n'Roll

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

The Ertegun brothers were extremely important in bringing black music (both jazz and R&B) to the mass audience.  Ahmet was also important to rock.  He signed Led Zepplin after hearing their demo and convinced CSN to bring Neil Young into the band.  The brothers also helped bring soccer to North America co-founding the N.Y. Cosmos.
Ahmet was renowned for caring about the musicians he worked with as people first and he maintained many of the personal relationships he had with artists even after they left his label.  Frank Zappa named one of his sons (Ahmet -born 1974) for him.
