Sign in to disble this ad
NEW YORK - Legendary record producer Jerry Wexler, who helped shape R&B music with influential recordings of Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and other greats, and later made key recordings with the likes of Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson, has died, said his son, Paul. He was 91.

I remember a quote of his, "When I die I want my gravestone to read "MORE BASS"!

In his honor:



Job well done, sir! RIP

RIP, Jerry.

Here's a DVD worth buying or at least renting: Tom Dowd and the Language of Music. You'll see a lot of Jerry Wexler on it.
