who loved the artists

and the music
even more than the business,
120
00:05:35,939 --> 00:05:37,576
and the artists themselves...
Oh, my God.
121
00:05:37,611 --> 00:05:39,743
They sure loved him... [chuckle]
and trusted him,
122

Larry was a music fan
124

long before he ever became
an executive.
125
00:05:44,717 --> 00:05:45,947

with the bands.
127
00:05:47,786 --> 00:05:49,181
He was also my cousin,
128
00:05:49,216 --> 00:05:53,086
and all great business
is family.

it's not sex, drugs, and rock
and roll, because it was.

It's just, it was sex before
it was deadly, you know?

00:06:49,474 --> 00:06:51,485
And finding out who wasn't
doing drugs would be

00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,620

for you to tell.

but how it happened,

Now, you may have heard of this

as something called payola,
but to us...

Frankie Crocker was
one of the most influential DJs

in the business,
which is saying a lot,
892

The thing no one ever really got
about payola
899
00:38:48,391 --> 00:38:49,863
is that we never paid anyone
900
00:38:49,898 --> 00:38:52,767

they didn't wanna play.

00:38:52,802 --> 00:38:53,834

What do you think?
905

Probably, it originally comes
from Brooklyn.

that are born in Brooklyn seem
to be able to bounce back,

if you come from there.

2888

[Neil] I came out to California
2889
02:14:00,966 --> 02:14:03,637
after having a company
called Buddah Records
2890
02:14:03,672 --> 02:14:05,408
in New York City,
2891
02:14:05,443 --> 02:14:07,971
which was very successful,
and I went into partnership
2892
02:14:08,006 --> 02:14:10,314
with Warners Brothers Records.
2893
02:14:10,349 --> 02:14:11,909
Inside of eight months,
2894
02:14:11,944 --> 02:14:14,582
the partnership
had just about dissolved,
2895
02:14:14,617 --> 02:14:17,717
and I lost the quickest
three million dollars

for anybody else.

-[both laugh]
2902

I don't think if I had it,
I could have taken the risk.
2903
02:14:32,272 --> 02:14:35,636
You know,
it was a kind of situation
2904
02:14:35,671 --> 02:14:39,607
where I just kept going and
really didn't stop to think
2905

to pay it back.

And fortunately, success
was around the corner,
2907
02:14:44,878 --> 02:14:47,681
and I was able to pay it back
and come from behind.
2908
02:14:47,716 --> 02:14:49,452

first of all,
2909

was exciting,

and from there,
everything went downhill.
2918
02:15:10,574 --> 02:15:11,837
About eight months later,
2919
02:15:11,872 --> 02:15:16,138
I realized that um,
it wasn't going to happen.
2920
02:15:16,173 --> 02:15:17,513
I had just finished
2921
02:15:17,548 --> 02:15:20,483
probably the most expensive
album ever done
2922
02:15:20,518 --> 02:15:22,353

-and we opened...

didn't you?
2927
02:15:31,496 --> 02:15:33,056
[host] Yeah.
2928
02:15:33,091 --> 02:15:35,828
We over-advertised,
and we over-promoted.
2929
02:15:35,863 --> 02:15:39,568
And we did everything
you could possibly do wrong.
2930
02:15:39,603 --> 02:15:41,669
And I went to Acapulco,
2931
02:15:41,704 --> 02:15:43,638
and while I was there,
scuba diving,
2932
02:15:43,673 --> 02:15:47,477
I thought that, "You owe
three million dollars.
2933
02:15:47,512 --> 02:15:49,248
You don't have any money
left in the bank."
2934

-[host] Yeah.
-"You might have payroll

for about two
or three weeks left."
2936
02:15:53,947 --> 02:15:56,882
And I was down there,
and I took the mouthpiece out
2937
02:15:56,917 --> 02:15:58,917
and said, "It could be over."
2938
02:15:58,952 --> 02:16:01,183
I mean, that could be it.
You don't have to come back

You don't have to come back

2941
02:16:05,464 --> 02:16:08,894
And, um... the last record
I released at Buddah Records
2942
02:16:08,929 --> 02:16:11,402
was a thing
by Gladys Knight and the Pips,
2943
02:16:11,437 --> 02:16:13,195
that when LA seemed
too much for the man,
2944
02:16:13,230 --> 02:16:14,735
he couldn't make it,
so he's leaving

the life he's come to know.
2946
02:16:15,969 --> 02:16:18,101
He's leaving on a midnight
train to Georgia.
2947
02:16:18,136 --> 02:16:20,774
And I just realized
that wasn't me.
2948
02:16:20,809 --> 02:16:24,041
I had to win, or I had to fail.
2949
02:16:24,076 --> 02:16:25,515
I couldn't cop out,
2950
02:16:25,550 --> 02:16:27,880
and I put
the mouthpiece back in.
2951
02:16:27,915 --> 02:16:30,685
I swam and found Joyce.
2952
02:16:30,720 --> 02:16:33,116
I said, "Come on back.
We're going upstairs.
2953
02:16:33,151 --> 02:16:34,920
We're gonna go back,
and we're gonna do it.
2954
02:16:34,955 --> 02:16:36,724
We're going to win,
or we're gonna fail."
2955
02:16:36,759 --> 02:16:38,792
And in the back of my head,
I always had the thought
2956
02:16:38,827 --> 02:16:40,926
that I can always go
back to Brooklyn and open
2957
02:16:40,961 --> 02:16:42,466
-a candy store.
-[man] Yeah,
2958
02:16:42,501 --> 02:16:44,633
except there are a lot of those
there, aren't there?
2959
02:16:44,668 --> 02:16:47,097
Yeah, but you know,
growing up there, I mean,
2960
02:16:47,132 --> 02:16:49,803
that was always
a kind of comforting thing
2961
02:16:49,838 --> 02:16:51,409
that I could always go
back to that,
2962
02:16:51,444 --> 02:16:52,839
and that was a great life.
2963
02:16:56,273 --> 02:16:57,316
Hi.
2964
02:16:57,351 --> 02:16:58,944
[woman]
What does a tiger say?
2965
02:17:01,146 --> 02:17:04,554
[Neil] That was the Bogarts,
the fabulous Bogarts!
2966
02:17:04,589 --> 02:17:06,248
Well, I want to thank you all.
2967
02:17:06,283 --> 02:17:10,219
Jill, Timothy, Bradley,
come on. Come on.
2968
02:17:10,254 --> 02:17:12,122
Say goodbye to the audience.
2969
02:17:12,157 --> 02:17:13,464
We'll see you again!
2970
02:17:13,499 --> 02:17:15,598
-Bye!
-Bye, everybody!
2971
02:17:15,633 --> 02:17:17,259
-[kids] Bye!
-Bye!
2972
02:17:17,294 --> 02:17:19,899
Do you have one more word you'd
like to say to everybody?
2973
02:17:19,934 --> 02:17:22,803
[Bradley] Goodbye. Cheerio.
2974
02:17:22,838 --> 02:17:24,002
What was that?
2975
02:17:24,037 --> 02:17:25,476
[speaks indistinctly]
2976
02:17:25,511 --> 02:17:28,446
...from the fabulous Bogarts!
2977
02:17:28,481 --> 02:17:29,909
See you next week!
2978
02:17:29,944 --> 02:17:30,910
[kid]
Yeah!
2979
02:17:30,945 --> 02:17:35,948
