From sweeping a grimy New York studio to presiding over an interactive, innovative exhibit gracing the LA County Museum of Art (LACMA), it's been a journey for music industry legend Jimmy Iovine.
The New Yorker's hardworking longshoreman father once boasted to friends that his son had "magic ears. He can hear what you're thinking." It turned out to be true – Iovine engineered some of the catchiest, most iconic albums of the 1970s and early '80s, before putting those magic ears to work coaxing out the talent that defined a generation of music.
After his early days in those grimy studios, Iovine scored the break to end all breaks, engineering records for a roster of artists that sounds like a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination list: Lennon. Springsteen. Patti Smith. Tom Petty.
