Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Deaths: Chicago Record Promoter-- Carla

SEYMOUR CY" GOLD (1929-2013), 83.    Fixture in Chicago music business in 60s and 70s.  In early 60s had a chance meeting with one of his idols growing up, Judy Garland, and decided to get into the record business (partly so he could meet people).

A year later, connected with Paul Glass, founder of Chicago-based Allstate Record Distributing Company which handled independent labels like Roulette, Atlantic, Chess, Checker and Motown.  Even though I never heard of him, I sure knew those record companies.


CARLA LEONARDO, 63: On-air radio personality in Chicago, most recently with WDRV who championed local bands.  I heard her many times.
