Howie Goodman dies
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 27 August 2009
Prominent US music promotions man Howard ‘Howie’ Goodman died earlier this month after losing his battle with cancer, Billboard has confirmed. He as 59.
Goodman first started dabbling in the music industry while studying at the University Of Memphis in the early seventies, where he worked at two clubs. Using the connections he built there, he set himself up as an independent record promoter, subsequently launching his company Good Choice Promotion. He continued with his promotions work within the record industry at the same time as setting up a restaurant business.
Paying tribute to Goodman, Sony Music’s Senior VP of A&R told Billboard: “Howie Goodman promoted music with such great energy. When he got hold of a good song he never let go”.
