One of the true greats, mostly unknown to the general public, but a giant to those of us who, like Ahmet, just loved the music...

Couple of side notes, the late Frank Zappa admired the man enough to name one of his sons Ahmet (not that the namesake always appreciated that in school), & Paul Schaffer, David Letterman's musical director, enjoyed having the band play the old blues classic, "I'm In Love Again", substituting the name "Ahmet Ertegun" as an inside joke...
