Ahmet Ertegun Recovering From Fall
Ahmet Ertegun, the founder of Atlantic Records, is recovering after hitting his head in a fall at a recent Rolling Stones concert.
Ertegun, an integral figure in the careers of artists including Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, was attending a Stones concert at the Beacon Theatre on Oct. 29 when he slipped and fell, according to a statement released by Atlantic Records.
He injured his head and was taken to a hospital, according to the statement, but he is improving. Atlantic Records denied reports that Ertegun had been in a coma.
Ertegun, 83, is considered one of the most important figures in modern pop music, helping to shape the sound of rock, pop and soul with his artists and his production work.

Alright! you can't keep the old man down. I heard anyway it was a drug induced coma for examination purposes so we can take it with a grain of salt. still the man did good things for rhythm & blues and I have nothing bad to say about him. plus I got to see Ray Charles from 5' behind a curtain on the stage at the Kennedy Center and all becuase of him and others backing our foundation |
