Posted on urbannetwork.com. Passings: Record Exec Dick Scott--
Longtime record executive Richard "Dick" Scott passed away Tuesday, August 29, 2006 after a long illness in Los Angeles. Most of you would have crossed paths with Dick in his more than 50 years in the entertainment industry. He was an extraordinary manager to many stars over the years and was responsible for the success of acts such as New Kids On The Block, Boys II Men and many others.
In addition, he was a trailblazer, launching some of the early corporate/brand marketing deals in this industry. He also co-produced a theatrical play on the lives of The Hutchinson Sunbeams, later renaming themselves The Emotions. The play, "Bigger Than Bubblegum" became a hit touring musical.
