Asher was responsible for the fact that a year later Taylor was able to sign up with Warner Bros, and launch Sweet Baby James. Since James' return to the U.S. in December 1968, for another sojourn in a mental hospital (this time Austen Riggs in Stockbridge, Mass.), Asher, as friend and manager, has proved himself to be a sound guide, with shrewd bargaining abilities and an instinctive feel for the fast-shifting tastes of the pop-music world...
