Vivendi is paying Herb Alpert & Jerry Moss $211 million dollars. To date, that's $500 million dollars for A&M Records, $350 million for sale of Rondor Music and this $211 million just announced. That's just over $1 billion dollars to the creators of A&M Records and, as I recall, a sound that most record company execs told them don't bother to spend the money to press and distribute "The Lonely Bull". Thank goodness Jerry Moss knew talent when he heard it. Just spotted this article on the Reuters News website.
