Hanna Barbera Records was easily one of the coolest record labels of all time.
Their A&R man was teenager Danny Hutton.
In the years before he formed Three Dog Night, Hutton recruited some of the best and most unusual psychedelic garage bands for the label:

Maybe the coolest relic of showbiz history that no one ever talks about.
Designed by architect Arthur Froehlich, the Hanna Barbera Building on Cahuenga Blvd was built at the exact same time that The Jetsons debuted.

Where It's At Maverick's Flat was an incredible South Los Angeles venue where Richard Pryor frequently performed in the years before the Comedy Store opened.
I got to meet Dick Gregory at Maverick's Flat in 2015.
The walls were like a living museum of Black show business.
