Music entrepreneur Allen Klein, blamed by many for contributing to the demise of The Beatles, has died in New York at 77 after suffering from Alzheimer's.
In a career spanning five decades, Klein earned a reputation as a ruthless operator, extracting lucrative deals from labels for his clients.
In the mid-1960s, he managed The Rolling Stones for five years.
Later managing The Beatles, he tried and failed to secure control of copyrights on their behalf.
