I heard interview with him on NPR, Fresh Air show the other day, certainly brought us a lot of good music. One interesting aside, his mother good friends with Ian Flemming (James Bond originator and author), he stated Pussy Galore character based on his mother.

Some artists aren't that fond of him. Reggae great Lee 'Scratch' Perry sings about 'Chris Blackwell from Black Black Hell'. But there are not too many record execs who are universally loved by all....
