In the book the Atlantic Years, which I can`t find my copy of to check this memory, Jerry is quoted as referring to Led Zep as the "droogs " or "drones" or something, either way he was not impressed.
After a minor paddy on the subject with Ahmet he travelled to re-find a singer he had heard years earlier to record what he would consider "real music".
This was Aretha Franklin.
You have to simply take your hat off to any company with such diverse and all time successful acts. |

I think MORE BASS is more appropriate, funnier and says it all. |

Paul Wexler said a private service will take place in the coming weeks in Sarasota, and his tombstone will read: "He changed the world."
"I don't think I'm overreaching," he said. |

Jerry created the word "oversouling" which I always described as "over singing" and memorably said the two words he wanted on his tombstone were "more bass". |

Great person? Probably not, considering how he completely did over Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton over re Stax. |
