'Joe believed in supporting artists for the long haul, allowing us to stretch and grow.'

," I remember he said to me then. "We do that so that we can develop artists like yourself."

In a business that became more preoccupied with short-term profits, Joe believed in supporting artists for the long haul, allowing us to stretch and grow. Joe was such a warm and engaging guy. And he was the same Joe Smith the whole time. That's why he was so beloved by artists especially. He would have been completely supportive if I had gone and made an album on the back of a flatbed truck withDanny Goldbergwere shopping for a new label deal after I left Warner Bros.

By that time, Joe had moved over to Capitol-EMI [from Elektra/Asylum]. He was a natural fit there. Fifteen years after he first signed me to Warner Bros., he gave me a second shot. He said to [my managers]: "Listen, we're not going to spend a lot of money. She can do what she wants. We expect modest sales, but I would be happy to have Bonnie.

and I gave impassioned talks about him and then there was a wonderful lunch at the Wilshire Country Club with his family and decades' worth of people who knew him in the record business. People paid tribute to him for hours. He was a dear friend as well as one of the most sincere, warmhearted and loyal people any of us in the business will be blessed to know.
