As the HITS 36th Anniversary special coalesces, like some vast, unbidden fungus, we're enjoying a ramble through our abundant photo archives. This amazing pic from early in the brilliant career of current Epic Chairman/CEO Sylvia Rhone (then head of EEG) finds her flanked by some of the most influential execs in music-biz history, and also Bob Morgado. In addition to displaying some of the great players of the preceding era, it's an object lesson in what "the room" looked like just a while ago. One thing that hasn't changed, much to everyone's regret: We're still here. Seen just before reviewing some quarterly projections on cassette sales that they received by fax are (l-r) Dave Mount, Mo Ostin, Morgado, Henry Droz, Doug Morris, Ahmet Ertegun, Rhone, Mel Lewinter and Bob Krasnow.
