To Absent Friends
Over the course of her long and remarkable record industry career, Vicki worked her promotional magic at Motown, RCA, Geffen, Reprise, Island, Zoo Entertainment and DreamWorks, before launching her own successful promotion and marketing company, Vicki Leben Consulting.
Promo pro Bob Catania beautifully encapsulated the feelings of many of us who knew and loved Vicki over the years when he posted, “When the history of promo people is written, Vicki will be up there among the best of all time. She raised the bar with her intelligence, warmth, caring, relationships and the ability to break a song. I am honored to have been a peer and friend to her all these years. You will be missed by all. RIP Vicki.”
Vicki is survived by two daughters, Debbi and Hollie and five grandchildren. At her request, no memorial services will be held.
To those of us who knew her, Margaret was a generous and loyal friend and she loved animals. To get an idea of the love Margaret engendered over the years, please spend some time reading the heartfelt notes on her Facebook page.
