Promoting Pink Floyd, Springsteen and the Stones: Paul Rappaport Remembers

Подробнее о видео

Over decades in rock promotion, Paul Rappaport was both a champion and a confidant to artists, witnessing their rise, fall, and occasional reanimation. In this conversation, Rap, spills about hustling airplay for a then-unknown Springsteen, navigating Pink Floyd’s civil war, and watching Keith Richards defy the laws of human endurance. His book, Gliders Over Hollywood, is a love letter to an era where music was king, excess was currency, and the business was equal parts genius and madness. If rock and roll was a circus, Rappaport wasn’t just selling records, he was in the ring with the lions.
