You may have never heard of Brooklyn-born Seymour Stein but, as the founder and head of Syre Records in the 1970s to '80s, you certainly heard of many of the bands and singers he discovered and signed to his label -- the Ramones, Talking Heads, Madonna -- MADONNA!, Ice-T, the Cure, Depeche Mode, and many more.
Without him, the history of late 20th century popular music would be very, very different.
Stein has died at the age of 80, leaving behind an amazing legacy.
RIP
