 Quite the marketer. I know I have at least 1 hits album and a miracle brush.

He started the company in my hometown. His products were everywhere.

May he rest in peace.

Summer of '74 was the first brand new album I bought with my own money. I was nine. Still have it. :) I remember being bummed it wasn't by the original artists, but remakes by "The Sound Effects." I think I bought if for, "Sunshine on my Shoulder." Oy vey!

 A nice man. One of my friends did a lot of work with him when he first started his ad campaigns.

 I can recall owning one of his K-TEL Record Selectors. Too bad it didn't work as well as it did in the TV commercial.
