     *“Sir, what you want to do is back up and follow that car around the corner.” 

     According to the thin middle aged black woman  in  the orange traffic vest,  my name is not on her clipboard.  Thus, I cannot park in the main lot of Inglewood's Tabernacle at Faithful Central Bible Church this afternoon. In the music business, even in death, it's about that List.

       But I can dig it.  As it is, the Tabernacle has filled three formidble parking lots accommodating  the assorted  music executives, artists and producers  who have rolled upon the church in stretch Hummers, chauffeured limos and a fleet of high-end foreign cars and SUVs.       

     They've all come to pay their respects to Jheryl Busby.  

     The average person may not know his name, but if you listen to black pop, at some time or another you've heard a recording marketed, promoted, argued over or otherwise shepherded by Busby.  Performers, songwriters and  producers create music.  However, it is the music executive who turns recorded songs into  hits, often, by any means necessary.  Inside the once burgeoning business of black music, Busby was a star.
