THE BARNETT BLUEPRINT

Look who made Page One of the L.A. Times Business section. But the Times copy editors should be mortified—they misspelled the CMG ruler's name as "Barrett" in the tease on the front page of the paper.

Here's what Sam Smith told reporter Randy Lewis about Capitol's top dogs on both sides of the pond:

"I based everything on passion. I did auditions for labels—they all came into a room and I sang two songs for them. Nick Raphael, the head of Capitol in the U.K., his passion for the songs I sang was second to none.

"And Steve Barnett in America—as soon as I met him it was a done deal. There was such a warmth, a passion and a respect for what I did... I had my first manager when I was 12 years old.… Steve Barnett and Nick Raphael have done everything they ever said they would do, and more."
