Bob Buziak, former president of both RCA Records and Sony’s TriStar Music Group, died on October 19, a rep confirms to Variety. No cause of death was announced; he was 83.
Buziak was best known for reviving RCA’s fortunes in the 1980s with hit albums by Bruce Hornsby, Eurythmics and Love and Rockets, not to mention the blockbuster soundtracks to the “Dirty Dancing” films, which spawned a No. 1 single with Eric Carmen’s “Hungry Eyes” and an Oscar- and Grammy-winner with Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes’ “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.”
