You are aware of course that Warner Bros. Records EXISTS because Jack Warner wanted Tab Hunter to remain an exclusive Warner Bros. contract artist and forbade Dot from releasing any further of his singles, then he created the label with Tab as the first artist?
Tab passed away on the 8th from an unexpected illness. He was with his partner for 35 years and was nearing his 87th birthday. A truly talented artist all around and not even having a publicist throwing his name under a bus to protect Rock Hudson could tarnish his reputation, even if there was no such term as 'gay' then and homosexual sounded really wicked in a Southern accent.
