    At 73, I've listened to Atlantic artists for decades. What I didn't realize till now, the SOUND of Atlantic recordings was always consistent. And the arrangements were top notch. Vs other studios, I can now identify almost any record made at Atlantic.

    JERRY WEXLER and JOEL DORN are the guys that made this label so legendary for me. Countless funk, soul and jazz acts are put on wax on this giant of labels with the touch from these two gentlemen.
    To name a few...
    HERBIE MANN
    WILSON PICKETT
    PERCY SLEDGE
    ARETHA FRANKLIN
    SAM & DAVE
    RAY CHARLES
    YUSEF LATEEF
    JACK McDUFF
    LES McCANN
    JOE TEX
    KING CURTIS
    ROBERTA FLACK
    ...this list can go on and on literally, but one name needs to be mentioned alone. DONNY HATHAWAY, one of the most gifted music genius ever, and he recorded on the ATCO division of ATLANTIC.

    Seeing the number of great blues artists Atlantic label had at the end of the forties and fifties I think it is a pity that this documentary offers so little time to this period.Pop seems to be the name of the game but it was the blues artists like Ruth Brown,Prof Longhair,Joe Turner etc,etc who put the label on the map. Don't forget that!!

    I ll never forget the mist exciting winter sojourn in my life when Nesuhi Ertegun let me help out at Atlantic Records For six weeks early 1959 as part of my field period at Bard College . I would het coffee for
    Ahmet ,Nesuhi ?Miriam .Herb and of course tom Dowd .joe Turner .Ray Charles and my favorite non black singer Chris Connor ,we’re recorded fir their label
    I believe I heard Aretha at tge Vanguard who would explode in 1967 after her stint with Columbia Records .i felt her albums fir Battle ,hope that js the ckrrdct nsne,were more genuine ..her .dad often appeAred on these
    I had hope to neet ray Charkes but alas he had moved Ofcourse
    ,the. m J Q were around .george RUSSELL had recently composed a puec pice for .teddy Charles album.art Blakey ,Monk
    Joe Turner was big
    There were so many memories .i was constantly around but as sort of a helper .
    I wish I could have been really more valuable to .Tom.i have so many other memories but I have taken enough space

    Very interesting that there was only a blip about Ruth Brown and she's the one that put Atlantic on the map! I also always found it interesting that Atlantic was a huge powerhouse of a label with mega stars and mega hits from the get go but even today it is still scoffed as just an independent label. It was a major label! They continuously had their finger on the pulse of the music. Decca and Capitol didn't have a clue!

    The sad part of this story is that a lot of t he Black entertainers never got their due and a lot died broke. I enjoyed the music but it pissed me off that our eternal enemy is still doing the same thing today-same game new tactics-and our entertainers, athletes, actors and politicians make a lot of money and do nothi0ng for Blacks and die broke or with a Caucasian wife..
