Richard Perry , a record producer known for many successes, including Carly Simon’s 'You’re So Vain' and Rod Stewart’s 'The Great American Songbook' series, has died. He was 82 years old. According to the Associated Press, Perry died at a Los Angeles hospital after suffering cardiac arrest, his friend Daphna Kastner said.
