Remembering Atlantic founder
Singer Solomon Burke, keyboardist Keith Emerson and songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller are scheduled to speak tonight at a tribute to Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun at American Cinematheque’s Mods & Rockers Film Festival.
Ertegun, a native of Turkey, would have been 84 today. He died last December after suffering a head injury in October.
The 7:30 p.m. event at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood includes a screening of “Atlantic Records: The House That Ahmet Built,” a documentary that aired on PBS last May.
