"We put the artist first " . Jerry Moss describes how the small independent record label, A&M, that he started with trumpeter Herb Alpert in the early 60s , managed to sign up top artists like Cat Stevens, Joe Cocker, Peter Frampton, Carol King, the Carpenters among many..
Singer Rita Coolidge is in this video too walking round the former A&M lot - describing the special quality of the A&M ethos.
I interviewed Jerry Moss in 2016 . The interview is taken from filming outtakes for the documentary JOE COCKER: MAD DOG WITH SOUL.
The interview with Rita Coolidge was conducted at the Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles - formerly the recording studios of A&M Records.
