Music producer Richard Perry, known for his collaborations with some of the biggest stars of the 1970s and 1980s, has passed away. TMZ confirmed the news with Perry's personal assistant of nearly three decades, Ben, who revealed that Richard died around 1:30 AM this morning. Ben shared that Richard had been battling Parkinson's disease and, during their last visit a month ago, he was unable to verbally communicate. Despite this, Ben said Richard was in good spirits.
Perry entered the music industry after graduating college in 1964, moving from Michigan to Los Angeles where he produced the first couple albums for avant-rock cult legend Captain Beefheart.
