Ahmet Ertegun, the founder of Atlantic Records, sadly passed away on Thursday December 14. Paolo Nutini adds his voice to the tributes.

Ahmet was personally responsible for giving many important artists - including Paolo - their big break, and he leaves behind him a vast musical legacy.

Atlantic Records have put together a special tribute website to commemorate the great man's life, and the video section features Paolo recalling his first meeting with Ahmet and footage from Paolo's appearance at the Ahmet Ertegun tribute concert during this year's Montreux Jazz Festival.
