I am somehow missing this piece of The Stevie Puzzle...
Modern Records no longer exists, right? What exactly happened?

I believe it was sold to Atlantic records around 1985. Thus Stevie's contract, a huge asset of MR, went to Atlantic.

So that would have been Paul Fishkin selling it? Were there other artists on Modern other than those Stevie brought in?

Didn't The Jacksons later become involved with Modern?

i thought Sandy Stewart was on there as well but she's not on there list. I've never heard of the other artists.

Natalie Cole used to be a Modern artist, too.

Doesn't Danny Goldberg say in the foreword of Stevie's box set booklet that he was a partner in Modern as well?
