Canadian record producer, promoter Donald K. Donald dies at 82
He was not on the list.
Donald K. Tarlton, better known as Donald K. Donald, has died, CTV News has learned.
He was 82.
Donald spent 40 years bringing some of the world’s top musical artists to Montreal.
From humble beginnings, he became one of Canada’s most successful impresarios, bringing many big name acts like The Rolling Stones to Montreal.
Former longtime Montreal broadcaster Terry DiMonte says everyone who attended a concert from the 60s to the 2000s did so because of Donald K. Donald productions, so it’s a big loss for the city and for him personally.
“I haven’t seen Donald in a number of years … his health wasn’t the best. He was a trooper and if you ever knew or met Donald you knew besides the fact that he always let you know that ‘there were plenty of great seats still available’ he was just a bundle of energy both in business and his personal life,” DiMonte told CTV News on Monday.
“I got to know him on a personal level, which was an absolute treat. He and his wife, Annie, are just the most wonderful people and it’s another one from the era gone.”
Donald leaves behind his wife.
