Jerry Kasenetz, who, with his partner Jeffry Katz, birthed “bubblegum” pop music while at Buddah Records in the late 1960s, has died, age 82.

Kasenetz, a child of Long Island wealth, referred to himself in interviews as both “crazy” and “zany,” two of the most damning self-descriptors in the book. What the obituary tactfully refers to as his “high-wattage personality” powered his and Katz’s hitmaking nous and fervor, however, which silenced critics of their then-unhip sounds and bands, as bubblegum hits peppered the upper reaches of the pop charts from 1967 through 1971.

Many of these tunes were some of this sobsister’s early musical sustenance, blasting out via AM on a little transistor radio.

The Music Explosion, The Ohio Express, and 1910 Fruitgum Company were the hitmakers for Kasenetz-Katz while at Buddha. These are a few of their hits.
