At 18, I lost my parents within a year of each other. With $4,000 to my name, depending on the beneficence of others, I got an NYU scholarship and thought maybe I\u2019d rise above my parents\u2019 working class through law. Those years a Brooklyn kid either had to be a lawyer or a doctor. Three years of law and luck got me into a law firm that represented Columbia Records. I became chief counsel and that\u2019s how I got into music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m now chief creative officer of Sony. All my Grammys are on their shelf. NYU just established a museum in my honor. Two floors. My whole life story. From signing Whitney to her passing. Our lives totally interacted. I not only signed her but brought her 18 songs for each album and we\u2019d narrow down. Our ears were in sync with each other. Now I\u2019m co-producing her biopic. Unknown British actress plays her.\u00a0Stanley Tucci\u00a0plays me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI only missed out on Meatloaf who seemed unlikely. Even other labels did not see him as an enduring artist. Also, but only in his early days, John Mellencamp.
