Michael Klenfner was a former Atlantic Records music executive who helped transform the Blues Brothers from a skit on "Saturday Night Live" into the successful band they became. He was 62 and died of congestive heart failure on July 14, 2009 in New York City.
In the 1970's, he helped comedians Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi transform their band act which eventually lead to a series of recording hits, as well as the successful "Blues Brothers" movie.
Over a 30 year span, he promoted the careers of hundreds of other musicians and was the producer of Cher's mega hit "Believe" in 1998.
