    Richard Perry, record producer behind “You’re So Vain” and other hits, dies at 82

    Thursday, December 26, 2024

    Richard Perry, a hitmaking record producer with a flair for both standards and contemporary sounds whose many successes included Carly Simon's "You're So Vain," Rod Stewart's "The Great American Songbook" series and a Ringo Starr album featuring all four Beatles, died Tuesday. He was 82.

    Perry's life was a story, in part, of famous friends and the right places. He was backstage for 1950s performances by Little Richard and Chuck Berry, sat in the third row at the 1967... Read More
