Billy Sammeth, Longtime Manager of Cher and Joan Rivers, Dies at 66 !

Billy Sammeth, the gregarious personal manager who shepherded the careers of multiplatform superstars Cher and Joan Rivers while also working with the likes of Donny Osmond, Olivia Newton-John and K.C. & the Sunshine Band, died Monday. He was 66.

Sammeth died at NewYork-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center after a battle with pancreatic cancer, according to his sister, actress Barbara Sammeth. She shared the news via a blog post.

Sammeth was a throwback to an earlier era in music and show business when colorful managers took on just a handful of entertainers and catered to them personally, often around the clock. A witty negotiator and a devoted advocate for his clients, he would often greet his pals with a festive, "Hi, Doll!"

"Passion for talent has been overridden today by greed," Sammeth, in a 2012 interview with The Daily Beast, said of the corporate consortiums that manage big-name performers these days. "You're a lightweight now if you only have one or two clients. If you're a manager these days, you've got to be Octomom."
