Singer, songwriter and actor Ian Dury was born on May 12, 1942 in Harrow, Middlesex, England. He sadly passed away from cancer on March 27, 2000 in Upminster, London, England. Known for his unique musical style and charismatic stage presence, Dury left a lasting impact on the music industry. His son Baxter Dury also followed in his footsteps as a musician.

Throughout his career, Ian Dury captivated audiences with his powerful vocals and thought-provoking lyrics. He gained recognition as both a solo artist and as the frontman of the band The Blockheads. With hits like "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick" and "Reasons to be Cheerful Part 3," he became an influential figure in the punk rock and new wave movements of the late 1970s.

Aside from his musical achievements, Dury also dabbled in acting. He appeared in films such as "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" and "Judge Dredd." Despite facing physical challenges due to childhood polio which affected his mobility, he never let it hinder his passion for performing.

BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.
