There may be not be many people capable of bringing Mick Jagger, current squeeze L'Wren Scott, ex-love Jerry Hall and Jagger juniors to the same event.
But the late Ahmet Ertegun is evidently one of them.
The hugely influential founder of Atlantic Records, the independent label which brought the likes of Ray Charles, The Drifters and Led Zeppelin to the music-loving public, died aged 83 last December.

Jagger, who is to play the O2 Arena - the former Millennium Dome - in London this summer as part of the Rolling Stones latest tour, has spoken often of his love of the rhythm and blues popularised by Ertegun and his brother Nesuhi which inspired his own career.
By sad coincidence, it was a fall at a Stones concert in New York last October for the 60th birthday of former American president Bill Clinton that led to Ertegun's death. He slipped and hit his head.
Initially stable, his condition later took a turn for the worse. He died in hospital on 14 December.
Jagger's extra-marital flings put paid to his long-term relationship with Hall seven years ago but any tensions between them now seem over.
He has been dating Scott, a celebrity stylist who was previously a model, for most of the time since then.
Ahmet Ertegun was born in Turkey but moved to America when his father was appointed ambassador to the US. With Nesuhi, he founded Atlantic Records in the Forties.
