Bob Gibson, who cofounded the powerhouse music publicity firm Gibson & Stromberg in the late ’60s and worked with some of the genre’s biggest acts, died Oct. 23 in Los Angeles at age 80. No cause was given.
Gibson & Gary Stromberg founded their publicity firm in 1969 and represented the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Elton John, the Who, the Eagles, James Taylor, the Beach Boys, and T. Rex, among many others.
When the firm dissolved in 1975, Gibson went out on his own, representing key artists and executives before reuniting with Stromberg in the early 1990s.
Industry veteran Pete Senoff has devoted a memorial page to photos of Gibson and friends that can be found here.
Gibson, who once ran the famed music nightclub The Cheetah in Santa Monica, later became an executive at ABC Dunhill Records.
Robert Hazard Gibson was born in Los Angeles in 1939 to Colonel Bill Gibson and Suzanne Ainsworth Hazard.

Bob Gibson, the intimidating St. Louis Cardinals pitcher who set the record for earned run average and won seven consecutive World Series starts, has died. The team confirmed his death from pancreatic cancer on Friday in his home town of Omaha, Nebraska.
Gibson set the earned run record during the 1968 season, finishing with a microscopic 1.12 Era. He died on the anniversary of one of his greatest games, when he struck out 17 Detroit Tigers in the 1968 World Series.

He was also named the World Series Mvp in their 1964 and ’67 championship seasons, and was the National League’s Mvp in 1968. His performance during that season...
