John's memories

 

The things that I always remember about Jimmy Ienner, what stands out the most, are his huge smile and his huge talent.  Of all the great records made through the years, the ones that stick in my mind are The Rasberries album and the Eric Carmen album, which is one of my favorite albums of all time.   One of the songs on that album, "All By Myself," is one of my top five favorite singles of all time.   To listen to any of the great records that Jimmy has made, they all have a unique sound and a unique approach towards production.   It's what makes great record producers.  Besides the admiration I have for his talent, I am proud to call him my friend.  Something I will cherish forever.
