The rock music industry recently lost one of its greats...and a name that I'd guess most had never heard.
Dee Anthony was the manager for Peter Frampton, DEVO, Traffic, ELP, J. Geils Band, Ten Years After, Jethro Tull and Joe Cocker, to name just a few. Probably the most amazing turn-around he orchestrated was that of Frampton who, after leaving Humble Pie, had popped out four commercially unimpressive albums and was only attracting a couple hundred people to his gigs (where this photo was taken).
Within a year of that shot, he was playing stadiums in support of the amazing "Frampton Comes Alive."
Dee's 3 core Management Rules always cracked me up (but are so true):
1. Get the Money
2. Don't forget to get the Money
3. Always Remember: Don't forget to get the Money
RIP, Dee...you hipped us all to some incredible talent over the years.
Thanks to the Rock n Roll Fantasy Camp's David Fishof for the catch.
