GRAMMY GALLERY 4: THE FINAL CHAPTER?
More Hooks Than a Tackle Box
"I, too, am all about that bass," chuckles Sony Music capo Doug Morris during this cheery moment with Epic's L.A. Reid and Sylvia Rhone and breakout star/Grammy nominee Meghan Trainor. "Still," he added after a thoughtful pause, "trout cannot be underestimated."
Island + Castaway
If Island topper David Massey looks ambivalent in this photo, it certainly has nothing to do with the breakout success of artist Nick Jonas. But it may be related to the looming presence of HITS President of His Own Desk Todd Hensley, whose tales of cow-tipping in the heartland soon lost their charm.
A Prince and Some Kings
RCA CEO Peter Edge, Prexy/COO Tom Corson, EVP John Fleckenstein and EVP/Head of A&R Keith Naftaly get their pose on with artist Prince Royce just before refilling Nipper's dog dish with seared-ahi hors d'oeuvres.
Urban Music
Shortly after this priceless Grammy-weekend moment was captured, UMG chief Lucian Grainge discussed the most recent highlights of Uni Nashville with head Mike Dungan and artist Keith Urban and let out a "yee-haw" that was both hearty and statesmanlike.
For Those About to Rock
"Your Grammy-opening set has had a transformative effect upon us," confides Sony Corp. CEO Kazuo Hirai to the members of Columbia's AC/DC during this festive photo op with the band, Sony Music head Doug Morris, Sony International chief Edgar Berger and Columbia leader Rob Stringer. "My wife, Riko, would, with your permission, very much like to throw a TV set out of a hotel window."
Big ATM Machine
"Say, dear," says Big Machine Label Group honcho Scott Borchetta to Sandi Borchetta, "I just bought another Greek island with the app on my phone. Shall we gas up the plane?"
