Subject: Have a Cookie for Wally Amos
Written By: LyricBoy on 08/17/24 at 9:51 am
Legendary cookie maker and pioneering black businessman Wally Amos has passed away at the age of 88. :\'( Perhaps better known for his “Famous Amos” cookie empire. 8)

Before he was a cookie mogul, Wally was a big hitter in the music industry. Amos went to college to become a secretary, and after graduating, took a mailroom clerk job with the William Morris Agency. Eventually, he became the agency's first African American talent agent. He signed Simon & Garfunkel and headed the agency's rock 'n' roll department. Amos attracted clients by sending them chocolate chip cookies along with an invitation to visit him. The musicians he represented included The Temptations and Marvin Gaye. 8)

I loved his cookies.
He apparently died earlier this week, on Tuesday.

No, I don't think so.
