David Libert was a founder of the '60s pop group The Happenings as well a tour manager for Alice Cooper, manager for George Clinton, the Runaways & Living Colour.
Over the course of his decades in the music business, the Patterson, New Jersey-raised Libert found success as a musician, songwriter, road manager, concert promoter, author and (briefly) drug dealer, for which he spent about a year in prison. The David Libert Agency represented a diverse lineup that included legends such as George Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic, Bootsy’s Rubber Band, and up-and-comers like The Runaways. Also in the category of “ones that got away” was Guns N Roses, whom Libert recalled being introduced to in about 1985 when they were living in a storage locker without a bathroom or running water.
