Mogul Music Producer, Phil Ramone rushed to the hospital...

Seventy-two year old music producer, Phil Ramone is currently in intensive care, after suffering an aneurysm. He is given credit for recording the famous, "Happy Birthday" by a tipsy Marilyn Monroe to none other than our president of the time, John F. Kennedy. Some of the many talented artists Mr. Ramone has worked with include: Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, James Taylor, John Lennon, and Bob Dylan. He has also worked with Madonna, Bono, Stevie Wonder, and Elton John, and the list goes on and on. We'll keep him in our thoughts and prayers, and wish him only a quick recovery, for without Phil Ramone, music as we know it, quite possibly, wouldn't sound the same!
