Seymour Stein, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member who was the co-founder of Sire Records, the former vice president at Warner Bros. Records and who began his storied career in the music industry at Billboard, has died.
The Hollywood ReporterIn a statement, his daughter said, “I grew up surrounded by music. I didn’t have the most conventional upbringing, but I wouldn’t change my life and my relationship with my dad for anything, and he was a loving and caring grandfather who took pleasure in every moment with his three granddaughters. He gave me the ultimate soundtrack, as well as his wicked sense of humor.
Stein co-founded Sire with Richard Gottehrer in 1967 as an independent record label, but joined forces with Warner nine years later, in 1976. Stein oncethe first artist he signed was “Steven Tallarico, who later became Steve Tyler from Aerosmith. He was in a group called Chain Reaction” at the time. Of first bringing Madonna to Sire, Stein said, “I signed her because I believed in Mark Kamins, who I thought was the greatest DJ, and he wanted to be a producer. So I gave him some money to bring me an artist and the third or fourth thing he brought me was Madonna. And yes, I was very involved in the beginning. Then I realized, ‘This woman is smarter than all of us. Just get out of her way.'”
