Dave Most dies

By | Published on Tuesday 28 September 2010

Dave Most, brother of RAK Records founder Mickie Most, has died at his home in Ascot from a suspected heart attack.

Dave played an active part in his brother’s music business, overseeing its successful music publishing division during its seventies heyday, and handling promotions for a number of RAK’s biggest artists, including Hot Chocolate and Suzi Quatro. After Mickie sold the record label side of the enterprise to EMI in the mid-eighties, RAK Publishing remained an independent concern alongside the company’s studio complex. Mickie died in 2003. 

Paying tribute to Dave, music industry PR man Gary Farrow, who knew Most in the seventies while working at EMI, told Music Week yesterday: “I remember him as probably the best promotions man there ever was”.
