Barry wanted to get in on the "video album" concept that was just starting, and MCA was allied with Universal Pictures, so it looked like they would have expertise in both media. The concept did not quite take off, but now many years later it is a thing. > Back then Warner had always been known as the label that was interested > and promoted the artistic creativity of their artist. Warner would invest > in their artist, they would give them time to ramp up, so to speak. Absolutely. For their handling of a veteran artist, consider Neil Young, an outstanding example of an artist Warner stuck with through thick and thin. Barry and brothers never had that. Back to top
