Paul Wasserman, publicist for Who, Rolling Stones, dies
The Associated Press
Published: November 20, 2007

LOS ANGELES: Celebrity publicist Paul Wasserman, the music industry giant known as "Wasso" whose clients included the Rolling Stones, the Who, Linda Ronstadt, Bob Dylan and Neil Diamond, has died. He was 73.

Wasserman died Sunday of respiratory failure at Kindred Hospital, publicist and friend Joan Myers said.

During his four-decade career, Wasserman represented Lee Marvin, Dennis Hopper, Jack Lemmon, Jack Nicholson and George C. Scott. He also publicized such films as "Cat Ballou," "Easy Rider," "Annie Hall" and "Star Wars."

But he made his biggest mark as a music publicist. The Mamas and the Papas, James Taylor, Paul Simon and Tom Petty were represented by him.

"He was one of the first ones to sort of accept and represent the new school of rock 'n' roll, so he was able to use the so-called old-school tools that he had in representing this new breed of people," music producer Lou Adler told the Los Angeles Times.

...

In November 2000, Wasserman pleaded guilty to a felony grand theft count and he was sentenced to six months in jail, placed on five years' probation and ordered to pay nearly $87,000 (€58,843) in restitution.

A graveside service will be held Nov. 28 at Mount Sinai Memorial Park.
