Sandy Pearlman, producer, songwriter, manager (Blue Oyster Cult, The Clash, Black Sabbath), and Co-founder of emusic.com, as well as Schulich Distinguished Chair of Music at McGill University visited Recorded Music on Friday Feb 20th @ 4 pm. One of the founders of Rock criticism at Crawdaddy magazine, Sandy Pearlman was arguably the first person to use the word "heavy metal" in print, thereby putting a name to a burgeoning genre of music. He went on to produce many of the seminal heavy metal albums by Blue Oyster Cult, and produced The Clash's second album. He also produced recognized groups like The Dictators and Dream Syndicate and was manager of Black Sabbath. One of founders of emusic.com, Pearlman is currently the Schulich Distinguished Chair at the Schulich School of Music at McGill University in Montreal.
