Even as a student at Scotch Plains High School in New Jersey, Universal Music Group executive and digital music veteran Jay Frank — who died Sunday at the age of 47 after a battle with cancer — was…
— was destined for a career in the music business.
Dan Catullo, concert promoter, creator and director of “Landmarks Live in Concert” and founder of City Drive Studios, grew up with Frank — in fact, they raised money for a sign, which still stands in front of the school, that reads “Home of The Raiders — Student Council, 1986.” Catullo remembers his friend below, as told to Michele Amabile Angermiller.
He used to make custom mixtapes for people, and we would sell them. I would buy these cases of cassettes, and he was so particular about the audio quality — he would yell at me if I bought lesser-quality tapes: “What are you doing? Get the Maxell XL II-S 90 tapes, they’re better!” He’d fill out the labels on the cases, and his handwriting was meticulous. Sometimes we would have a waiting list a couple of weeks long.
