Music producer Richard Perry, known for hitmaking-song prowess, dead at age 82
Briefly

"He maximized his time here, Kastner told The Associated Press. He was generous, fun, sweet and made the world a better place. The world is a little less sweeter without him here. But it's a little bit sweeter in heaven."
"Perry started out as a drummer, oboist and doo-wop singer before turning that experience into producing cultural touchstones ranging from You're So Vain, with Carly Simon, to Tiptoe Through the Tulips with Tiny Tim, to To All the Girls I've Loved Before."
"In demand and renowned among musicians, Perry hobnobbed with the likes of Paul and Linda McCartney, Mick and Bianca Jagger, Paul Simon, and Tina Turner, among many others."
"Streisand credited her longtime friend and collaborator with having a knack for matching the right song to the right artist, in her 2023 memoir, My Name is Barbra."
