SEEING AROUND CORNERS: Sisario buttonholed a number of industry players for comments. “To have a kingpin around subscription, and someone who really understands content within Apple, we feel very positive about that,” said Lucian Grainge, while Iovine’s former boss Doug Morris said of him, “He can see around corners. It was Jimmy who really believed that rap was going to go mainstream, and it did exactly what he thought.” Jon Landau, who worked with Iovine on several Bruce Springsteen albums and has remained close to him over the years, offered, “Jimmy figured out that whatever format of music comes along, people are going to need ways to listen to it. He bet into a business in which how the music sells and how much record companies collect is irrelevant.” (5/29a)
