HOMB2: HE'S DeMANN

"Freddy, this is all wonderful and everything," says Madonna to Freddy DeMann in this classic shot hailing platinum-plus sales with Candlebox and team at Maverick HQ. "But how much longer will men be wearing shorts in photo ops? I need you to at least ballpark it." Meanwhile, Guy O looked into the future and was like, holy shit. Abbey Konowitch, for his part, wondered why everything seemed so dark, but figured it was probably just a '90s thing.

This photo is brought to you by The History of the Music Biz 2, our forthcoming follow-up set of profiles of industry greats, gathered by the brilliant Michael Sigman and coming your way soon. Freddy's in it. Who else is covered, you ask? Well, Tony Bennett, Fred Foster, Russ Solomon, Alan & Marilyn Bergman and plenty more besides. Ad space is limited; reserve yours now.

Seen from l-r: Guy O, Candlebox's Peter and Kevin, Madonna, DeMann, Candlebox's Bardi, Lionel Conway, Candlebox's Scott and Abbey.
