NOT TO BLOW THEIR OWN HORN, BUT...

This photo of Team A&M comes from the swinging '60s, at which time a bullfighting jam could top the charts and music-world excess meant four martinis at lunch instead of three. Shortly after this photo was taken in the executive office of the label's new HQ at Chaplin Studios, then-VP/Director of National Promotion Don Graham (who supplied us with this vintage tableau) slathered his entire body with whipped cream for no discernible reason. Seen wondering whose tie clip was the most rock & roll are (top, l-r) Graham, VP/Director of Publishing Chuck Kaye, Founders/Co-Owners Jerry Moss and Herb Albert (seated, l-r) VP/Director of National Sales Bob Fead, VP/Director of Accounting Jolene Madden, VP/Director of TJB Enterprises Gil Friesen and VP/Director of A&R Tommy LiPuma.
