Bob Blank is a producer/engineer who released one of the first disco 12"s (Jimmy Sabater, "To Be With You") back in 1975. He owned a studio in Manhattan, Blank Tapes Studios, that produced a lot of hit records in the late 70's and early 1980's. He worked on records by tons of artists (including Talking Heads, Kid Creole & The Coconuts, Lydia Lunch, Lizzy Mercier Descloux, and more -not to exclude Donna Summer, Sting, and Patti Smith).
