Former publisher Michael Sigman remembers tough love, Zen calm and a nice assist with forming the paper's “no-hitting" policy. Without Pete Kameron, LA Weekly probably wouldn't exist. And instead of spending 19 years at the paper, I might not have lasted three months.
Over the course of a colorful 65-year career, Pete was involved in nearly every aspect of the entertainment business, including personal management (Modern Jazz Quartet with partner Monte Kay), film production and score supervision (the early James Bond films), music publishing, record company administration (co-founder of The Who's label, Track Records) and concert production. He worked closely with countless major artists, including The Weavers, whom he managed during the HUAC era, Kay Ballard, the Sweethearts of Rhythm, and Terence Stamp. Just last year he could be found with his old friend Donovan re-mastering “Catch the Wind" and “Sunshine Superman."
