Phil Ramone, the instinctive music producer whose mixing mastery for Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Paul Simon and Billy Joel helped fashion some of the most sumptuous and top-selling albums of his era, has died. He was 72.
The 14-time Grammy winner and 33-time
nominee once dubbed “The Pope of Pop” was hospitalized in late February (2013) with
an aortic aneurysm died Saturday morning March 30, 2013.
A native of South Africa who at age 10
performed as a violinist for Queen Elizabeth II, Ramone spent years
working as a songwriter, engineer and acoustics expert in New York
before charting a path that would make him a trusted studio partner in
the eyes (and ears) of the industry’s biggest stars. MORE HERE
