Without Them, I'm Working On The Docks.': It was 10am on Easter Sunday, 1974, and Iovine had just received a call from Roy Cicala, John Lennon's go-to engineer at Record Plant Studios in New York." ["Meanwhile, Apple Music's potential subscriber audience (currently thought to be hovering around the 30m mark, although not publicly confirmed) has arguably been held back by the free music available on Spotify and – more dangerously – on YouTube. Iovine is particularly vexed that the music industry – while in a public war with YouTube over payouts – is allowing free music to count equally alongside paid-for music in its most venerated charts."]  Music Business Worldwide 7:16 AM
