Christiern Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) When I was very active as a writer/reviewer, Peter Levinson was one of my favorite publicists (the only time I thought he steered me wrong was when he sent me a cassette of a newcomer, Kurt Elling and was convinced I'd love it). He eventually gave u his PR business and concentrated on writing autobiographies (biographies of Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, Nelson Riddle) that always were thoroughly researched and full of new information. He completed an Astaire biography that is, I believe, scheduled for publication in the spring. Peter passed away on Tuesday and he will be sorely missed by those of us who are old enough to have been on his PR list.

ValerieB Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 this is really so sad. he was a very nice man, as little as i knew him. and handsome, as well. i believe he fell at home and died as a result of it. i actually had no idea that he had had ALS for the last couple of years. my sincere condolences to his friends (of which there are many) and family. i believe he was only about 72 years old.
