Tony Visconti is a record producer. Apart from Phil Spector or George Martin, the profession hardly registers in the public consciousness in the same way as that of, say, film director. That's because a producer's role is usually more collaborative than dictatorial. They inspire and encourage; their names are in small print, if they appear at all. Which means that few, if any, have exciting stories to tell.
