It was 8 years ago that I posted on this website about my favorite musician alive, Herb Alpert, in celebration of his 80th birthday. That post included a 1500-word blurb about his amazing career. Here's a link to that post. Since then, I've expanded that biography to about 13,000 words. I STILL regard him as my favorite musician alive. And I'm sure - based on the extensive research I did for my book - that he wouldn't have been nearly as successful without the help of the other co-founder of A&M, Jerry Moss.
I'll just link to this post, which I'm guessing was meant to be a response to mine.
