Posted May 31, 2007 12:17 PM

As many of you know, Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun passed away in December of last year. Ertegun made a monumental impact on the history of music, whether he was helping distribute R&B to a wider audience, writing songs for Ray Charles, or signing some band called Led Zeppelin. He was also one of the founders of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, in which he was enshrined in 1997. He touched the lives of many people, including the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger, who recently spoke at length about Ahmet at a tribute dinner.
