Danny Fields  (born Daniel Feinberg; November 13, 1939) is an American music manager, publicist, journalist and author.  As a music industry executive in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, he was one of the most influential figures in the history of punk rock.  He signed and managed Iggy and the Stooges, signed the MC5 and managed the Ramones, and worked in various roles with Jim Morrison, the Velvet Underground and the Modern Lovers.  In 2014, The New York Times said, “You could make a convincing case that without Danny Fields, punk rock would not have happened”.  (More from Wikipedia)
