LONG-FORM INTERVIEW, Daniel Wittmer | As the manager of many legendary musicians over the past fifty years, Raymond Gonzalez talks about his career and shares never-before-told stories from his extraordinary journey. Let’s be clear: he has nothing to promote or sell here—no album, no single, no concert, no kamagong wood ashtray brought back from a Tibetan market in the summer of 1994. In addition to his immense generosity and exemplary courage, he is an extraordinary producer. He managed Nina Simone for twenty years. Just writing that is worth its weight in peanuts, ladies and gentlemen. In the world of Music (don’t argue—in this case, the capital «M» is absolutely warranted), he is one of those rare figures working behind the scenes who have sometimes helped bring legendary celebrities into the world, make them known, ensure their existence, and help them “live or survive” in the worlds of jazz, blues, rhythm and blues, and rock ’n’ roll. Born on November 13, 1946, in New York, where he grew up and later studied law, he arrived in Europe in the early 1970s—first in Spain for a few months, then in Paris. It was from there that his destiny took a sensational turn.
