Ertegun

How tragic, that a guy who had countless contributions to artists who all placed in hall of fame since the beginning of the 90s, crashed his head to concrete during a Rolling Stones concert in 2006 and died after a painful year in hospital . I wish there could be more attention from all around the world to his ceremony in Uskudar, Istanbul. I was there, since a friend of mine, who is a bright hot prospect musician, with his unique style was dealing about making an album with Ahmet Ertegun. Thats how I lernt about him, and soon we heard that he is dead. Besides the unluck of my friend, I was so sad about his death too. He played a big role on very important musicians and bands ' carreer, such as Ray Charles, B.B. King, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, but he was still working on finding new young musicians. It is a duty to respect and admire him, he never chase to earn a lot of money, because he cared about music, his spreading of wisdom brought us very important consequences. If he was alive, maybe I even would have chance to meet him, he would change my life too :P I don't consider myself a highly intellegent musician, but he was like a magician, so who knows what would happen :) I am proud that he is Turkish.
