Charles Koppelman Dies: Hit-Making Record Executive And Martha Stewart Living Chairman Was 82
26.11.2022 - 03:51 / deadline.com
Charles Koppelman, whose publishing and talent development vision made him one of the recording industry’s top executives, has died at 82.
No cause was given by his son, Brian, showrunner of Billions, and daughter Jenny Koppelman Hutt. “He spent his last days surrounded by those he loved the most,” his son wrote on social media.

He saw the potential of owning songwriter rights and formed his own company with CBS executive Martin Bandier and Bandier’s father in law, NY real estate king Samuel LeFrak. The company managed song catalogs for Barbra Streisnd, Dolly Parton, Diana Ross and Cher, among others.

That deal made SBK the largest independent music publisher in the world, boasting a roster that included Michael Bolton and New Kids on the Block, among others.
They sold SBK to EMI Music in 1989 for $300 million. That deal allowed the formation of SBK Records, where Koppelman served as Chairman and CEO. The label was an instant hit, with Technotronic’s “Pump Up The Jam” becoming its first platinum seller, followed by major albums from Wilson Phillips and Vanilla Ice.
In 1991, Koppelman and Bandier sold their share of SBK Records to EMI Music. But Koppelman
