George Daly (music executive)
George Daly is a music executive, songwriter, musician, video and music producer, award-winning film director and technology inventor, who originally worked as an A&R (Artist & Repertoire) music executive. In that role he worked with and/or introduced many notable artists, with famed artists and groups as varied as Janis Joplin, The Tubes, The Cars, Tool, Huey Lewis, and Carlos Santana and others. Artists, to whose efforts Daly has contributed, have sold recorded music in vinyl, CD and digital form over 40 years, in excess of 300 million copies.
Moving from the Washington, DC area to San Francisco in the ‘60’s, Daly befriended Janis Joplin and, due to that link, was eventually hired by Columbia Records as San Francisco Head of A&R 〔 spanning the Clive Davis and Goddard Lieberson eras. Daly followed this up with being named head of A&R at Elektra/Asylum Records, followed by his direct hiring by legendary label chief Ahmet Ertegun at Atlantic Records (WMG), and Zoo Entertainment (Bertelsmann Music Group /BMG) where he was again named Vice President of A&R. He is the recipient of multiple Gold and Platinum awards.
As a significant executive in the music industry, Daly has discovered such original music talents as the seminal new-wave group The Cars (whom he signed to a long-term Elektra/Asylum deal on a paper napkin, after their live performance at Harvard University where his sister was attending) whose first album, The Cars, stayed on the charts for an astonishing 139 Weeks and sold over six million copies in the US,〔 the radical Bay Area surreal pop performers, The Tubes, who he brought to A&M Records, as well as contracting modern theatrical rockers, Green Jelly, who morphed into modern edge Multi-Platinum rockers, Tool and many others. In addition, in various roles Mr. Daly has also worked professionally with many of the classic music legends, such as Roy Buchanan and Nils Lofgren and including writing with Boz Scaggs his seminal ballad 'Slow Dancer', of the Scaggs album of the same name, considered by some to be Scaggs' greatest musical achievement, producing Huey Lewis as well as Carlos Santana by serving as the Executive Producer and Line Producer of the Carlos Santana interactive video life story DVD, working closely with Santana as well as Alice Coltrane for the include John Coltrane Material and the Jimi Hendrix family for the Hendrix material in the award-winning ''The River of Color and Sound''
== Early life - science and music ==
Born George William Daly, Jr., the second of six siblings, at the US Naval Medical Hospital at Annapolis, MD of Captain George William Daly, Sr., former Deputy Chief of Industrial Relations for the US Navy and Frances Helen Daly, a housewife and artistic mentor to the young George. He showed an aptitude in his early years for both science and invention as well as music, writing his first song in 4th grade and crafting early electric guitars and sound amplifier circuits. In the eighth grade he created a sound over light-wave link - his own invention for a school science fair. By his early teens he was playing guitar, bass and keyboards and writing songs resulting in the formation of several garage bands, culminating in the seminal DC garage band, (The Hangmen ), credited on record with the singles "What a Girl Can't Do", "Faces" and "Bad Goodbye" among others and all released on Nashville's Monument Records, of which "...Girl...", with its Everly Brothers' Wake Up Little Susie guitar riff and powerful drumming (written and recorded by Hangman Tom Guernsey with Joe Tripplet, also recording included Hangmen drummer Bob Berberich and other session musicians), plus the crowd-pleasing riot-causing Hangmen band's live performance, all pushed the band past the Beatles to the number one position in the DC and Baltimore region, while Daly's original song, Faces, is noted in the 21st century as a prototypical and classic YouTube garage punk rock anthem, still artistically powerful today.
