| Ian Levine |
| From England, Ian Levine has conquered the world. I am one of his biggest fans. A thrill of mine was when in 1991 I met him at the Music Conference in New York. I was in awe. Not all share my views, Despite his incredible success he has been plagued with bad word of mouth from many who have crossed his path. The genius who brought Motown, or rather it's artists, back to life in the 1990's also has been an actor on BBC's "Dr. Who." He's a writer, arranger, producer, mogul, actor and a brilliant man. I've been wise to him since the early days when he came to Chicago and discovered Evelyn Thomas, L.J. Reynolds and Barbara Pennington in one fell swoop. He, along with Rick Gianatos, are two of my role models and inspirations. Oddly enough the two have worked together many times. My hat is off to you Mr. Levine...I thank you for all you have done for disco through the years...... |
