Ahmet Ertegun

To the Ertegun Family, My heartfelt prayers continue to go out for all the families and friends of such an acclaimed and loved person. May the God of all comfort be with you as we await the promises of Isa 65:19 for everyone - "No more will there be heard in her the sound of weeping or a cry of distress.

Thank you for being a rock for musicians of all genres to have a successful career. We have music to make us smile, warm our thoughts, and hold us close. Thank you for sharing your dream of music and making it a reality. May your family find comfort in the promises of Jehovah who comforts us all.

To the family of Ahmet Ertegun, my deepest sympathies. May you find comfort in the promise found at Revelatin 21:4.

you gave us so many years of great music, you will truly be missed. R.I.P.

I NEVER NEW HOW GREAT A MAN HE WAS. IT WAS WHEN I WAS READING THE ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE THAT I CAUGHT ON. REST IN PEACE MR. ERTEGUN.

Ahmet never knew me, but his love of Black American music influenced my life as a musician. For that I am very grateful. I just wish I could have told him.

Ahmet Ertegun's passing brings me great sorrow.
He was a true original. Ahmet Ertegun was the last of the great record men. He wasn't a lawyer, he was a music fan. He loved the music he put out on his Atlantic & Atco labels.
If R&B was your bag, Ahmet brought you the cream of the crop with Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Ray Charles, The Drifters and dozens more. If Rock was your thing, he gave us Buffalo Springfield, Iron Butterfly, Yes, Foreigner, Led Zeppelin, Phil Collins and many more.
There are two things certain: Ahmet Ertegun was one in a million, and there will never be another record man like him again.
Rest In Peace Dear Ahmet. You were and always will be loved, admired and respected.

I knew Ahmet for many years and somehow believed he'd live forever. His work will. If he invites me to his upcoming party, this time I won't RSVP.

And now Ahmet, eternal peace.

Thank you for you dedication to recording the finest famous and lesser-known musicians and so many of my favorite recordings. Your legacy brings joy and inspiration to my life every day. You will be missed but not forgotten!

I am so glad that Ahmet Ertegun blessed the music industry with his presence. He truly had a remarkable gift in finding true talent. I only became familiar with his name when I watched the movie Ray, but I've known his work for many years. God bless his soul, and may the family have peace and comfort in this time of sorrow.

Just want to thank your for allowing us to have the opportunity to hear Areatha and other artist. Without the record companies and their support, where would we be.
I still have some of my 45's at home now. I will cherish those days for sure.
Job well done now rest in peace

Thanks for the music!

I know of Ahmet due to his contribution to the career of Bobby Darin, my very favorite singer. Ahmet was a great visionary and will be missed.

May the family find peace in knowing the world is a much better place and blessed by having Mr. Ertegun share his knowledge of music with so many. A part of him will be here forever. God Bless.

THE MUSIC WORLD HAS LOST A GIANT.
MUSIC LOVERS HAVE LOST A VERY GOOD FRIEND.
THE UP AND COMING MUSICIAN HAS LOST A MENTOR.
THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD MUSIC, MR. ERTEGUN, AND MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.

Thank you for all the years of wonderful music. Rest in peace.
