    Atlantic records - The House That Ahmet Built

    Ahmet Ertegun was a legend. The record label he build was amazing. He clearly wrote songs and influenced his artists in the best possible way. They don't leave out the negetives either, pay-ola, drugs, extra marital sex etc. But the documentatry as awhole feels more like a Biography Channel effort than a full scale tribute. Not enough rare footage for me either.

    If you don't know, watch it, there's a lot of value here, if you do know, them still watch it but temper your expectations.

    Enjoy!
