[@lisabradford4045]

I do remember Jheryl Busby being very low key during his time in the music industry, but it is still strange that he is not mentioned more. The Clarence Avant documentary was very good. I saw that one about a year ago. His wife was murdered during a home invasion a couple of months ago. Very tragic. I do remember Shakir Stewart passing right before Busby, that was an interesting November indeed. I read somewhere that Shakir was very close friends with Kim Porter and the whole suicide thing was very suspicious, as with Chris Lighty. Looking forward to more videos in this series.

Jheryl Busby was, if not overall, the most amazing Music Executive I've ever seen. Don't get me wrong, much due respect to the great Mr. Berry Gordy, ( MoTown), Mr. Clarence Avant, The late Mr. Andre Harrell (UpTown), Mr. Clive Davis, (CBS/ Arista), The late Mr. Dick Griffey( Solar), just to mention a few, but Mr Busby expanded his Music horizons to the fullest, and who knows where else he was about to elevate to music wise. Music Execx like him, only come around once in a blue moon.

[@dsu9659]

Berry provided the platform and paid for it. It two totally different lanes. Busby was the best in his Era. He should have been made head of MCA, instead of being head of Motown. That was ( and still is ) the nature of the business of music. You think Michael Jackson died of drugs, or was it he owned 50% of the largest music publishing company in the business, and refuse to sell.

Great man, responsible for so much success for lots of people. How dare Boyz to Men question Babyface”s ability to produce and write hits. His track record speaks fr itself. He wrote hits for people who were considered no longer hot or with the times. What he did for The Whispers with Rock Steady, he wrote that in less than 24 hours and they came back the next day to record it. They were shocked and impressed at how quick he was. They should be glad jeryl made them do that song, it’s one of their record breakers. He had a good ear. I admire folks who aren’t singers but recognize good talent. That’s just plain smart because you also have to have a ear for what’s popping in the industry to know what will sell. Smart and talented man, very missed….
