Charles Koppelman, whose publishing and talent development vision made him one of the recording industry’s top executives, has died at 82.

No cause was given by his son, Brian, showrunner of Billions, and daughter Jenny Koppelman Hutt. “He spent his last days surrounded by those he loved the most,” his son wrote on social media.

Koppelman saw the potential of music publishing early in his career. He began his career as a singer and songwriter, part of the legendary Aldon Music staff under CEO Don Kirshner that included Carole King, Neil Sedaka, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.

He moved on to CBS Records in the 1970s, rising to VP/GM of worldwide publishing. He saw the potential of owning songwriter rights and formed his own company with CBS executive Martin Bandier and Bandier’s father in law, NY real estate king Samuel LeFrak.
