This DVD and book cannot be overlooked, especially for any serious music collector. Just think of all the great music that you’ve heard and loved over the last fifty years. Most of it (or at least half) is probably covered in this DVD or book.

This 2007 DVD video release from Rhino/WEA is a glorious tribute to Ahmet Ertegun, who established and nurtured Atlantic Records into one of the biggest music labels today. The DVD features Bette Midler, Ruth Brown, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton and a cast of thousands.
