I'm joined for this episode by Tony King to discuss his brilliant memoir 'The Tastemaker'.
Tony joined Decca Records at 16, and as London started to swing, was one of it's most vital promotion men.
Tony got to know The Beatles during the mid 60's, and by the start of the 70s was employed by Apple, and worked on promoting both John and Ringo's solo albums.
His friendship with Elton John led him to introduce him to John Lennon - and Tony was directly involved in John's famous Thanksgiving appearance with Elton at Madison Square Garden in 1974.
