Mike Stock
Back on May 10, 1995, an executive from the peermusic office in Los Angeles, Brady L. Benton, was spending a few days in London on business. That afternoon, he made an extracurricular trip to Hundred House in South London, where Mike Stock and Matt Aitken had their offices and studios. Although the music publishing expert was an industry professional, he was also a mega-fan of the Stock-Aitken-Waterman team. While waiting to meet Mike and Matt, he was escorted into a room where the walls were adorned with dozens of gold and platinum records, mostly for the team's work with Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan. Overcome with emotion, he broke down in tears (of joy), just one example of the love and devotion fans around the world have long held for the trio affectionately known as SAW.
