Richard Perry, a Grammy-winning record producer known for his work with iconic musicians like Carly Simon, Rod Stewart, Ringo Starr, and the Beatles, has passed away at 82. Perry, who died on Tuesday after suffering cardiac arrest, was celebrated for his ability to connect artists with the perfect songs, helping to revitalize careers and shape musical soundscapes.
Richard Perry, a hitmaking record producer who worked with Carly Simon, Rod Stewart, Ringo Starr and the Beatles , has died aged 82. Perry, a recipient of a Grammys Trustee Award in 2015, died on Tuesday at a Los Angeles hospital after suffering cardiac arrest, friend Daphna Kastner said. 'He maximised his time here,' said Ms Kastner, who called him a 'father friend' and said he was godfather to her son. 'He was generous, fun, sweet and made the world a better place.
'Richard had a knack for matching the right song to the right artist,' Streisand wrote in her 2023 memoir, My Name is Barbra. Starr's album Ringo, released in 1973, would prove the drummer was a commercial force in his own right. The album featured work from the other three Beatles as well as contributions from Harry Nilsson, Billy Preston, Steve Cropper, Martha Reeves and all five members of The Band. It reached No. 2 on Billboard and sold more than 1m copies.
