For any manager to have 3 major hit groups in a row is a feat rarely matched by very few. tom watkins was a big brash man and larger than life when it came to honest opinions about the money and success he had , as well as the power he gave to others while they were under his strong armed wing. the music industry will always need someone like him every 5 years at least to liven the world up.he had the midas touch to package and push power pop to great effect .rest in peace.
