June 13, 1976 – Antonio L.A. Reid hangs out around a 3rd St. Cincinnati recording studio where PB Stadium is today, begging to be recorded. A drummer, he co-creates The Deele, shakes off the immense rejection and rises to CEO of Arista, signing Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, Usher, Outkast, Avril Lavigne, Pink, Kanye West and The Killers. Once he was just a kid with a dream, begging for a backer and studio time.
