Lenny Waronker
Lenny Waronker is former A&R man and president of the Reprise and Warner Bros. labels and longtime protégé of Warner Bros. head Mo Ostin. Among his signings over his thirty-plus years with the label include Randy Newman, The Doobie Brothers, Curtis Mayfield, Rod Stewart, Neil Young, and Nelly Furtado, among many others. Under his guidance, Reprise and Warner Bros. became known as labels where artists came before money, and Waronker himself earned a reputation as the rare label head who genuinely cared about the music the artists on his label made. Since leaving Warner Bros. in the late 1990s, Waronker has again teamed with Ostin to helm the SKG/Dreamworks label. |
