"Lou Adler has won Grammys and worked with greats like Sam Cooke and Carole King in his storied career, but the producer and owner of Los Angeles&amp;apos; venerable Roxy Theatre had to wait until last night to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s a real nice feeling, you know, no matter what you think about it,&amp;quot; Adler said. &amp;quot;Every year goes by, if you don&amp;apos;t make it, you just say, &amp;apos;Well, it doesn&amp;apos;t matter.&amp;apos; But it really matters, and you find that out when they finally say, &amp;apos;You&amp;apos;re in.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nRock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction 2013: Rush (And Fans) Fight the Power\r\nAdler also shared an old anecdote about fellow inductee Randy Newman. Upon meeting a teenage Newman, Adler was told the youngster wanted to become a songwriter. Newman&amp;apos;s producer Lenny Waronker asked Adler to bestow some helpful knowledge to the budding artist. &amp;quot;I said, &amp;apos;Yeah, here&amp;apos;s what I&amp;apos;ll do,&amp;apos; and I gave him a stack of Carole King demos,&amp;quot; Adler said.\r\nAlder also reflected on his legacy as a producer. &amp;quot;I never had a particular sound. There was no Lou Adler sound like there&amp;apos;s a Phil Spector sound,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I always tried to make the records about the artists and their particular sound.&amp;quot;\r\nInterview by Matt Diehl; text by RJ Cubarrubia."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
