...everyone has believed in Davis' ears. He launched Arista only after being canned by Columbia Records in 1973. By the 1980s, the former lawyer was tasting major success with a diverse group of performers, including Barry Manilow and the Grateful Dead. BMG purchased Arista in 1979, but Davis still operates virtually independently, unusual in an era when big corporations rule music.

"This man was the difference in both of those cases, your honor," said McGuire. "This man has given a lot. I don't know if he'll be credited for it. He should be given credit." For Bebber, a reduction from 171 1/2 years to 12 was more than enough "credit" for a man who pleaded guilty...
