Howie Richmond

Music publisher -- via the New York Times. He helped make hits of many big-band tunes, "Music! Music!Music!," "The Thing," "Goodnight, Irene," and many others, representing artists such as Leadbelly, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Kurt Weill, Shel Silverstein, Bill Evans, the Who, Black Sabbath, and Pink Floyd. He also founded the Songwriters Hall of Fame. A beautifully written obit by one of the best in the biz, Margalit Fox.
