Born in London shortly after World War II and educated at the Lycée Français in London, then at Munich University, Simon Goodman entered the music business in the late 1960s. After specializing in breaking new British artists abroad, Goodman then established an alternative distribution network in the United States in the early 1980s. Goodman’s father had secretly begun searching for his own father’s lost treasures, looted by the Nazis, a legacy that Simon later inherited. Goodman is married to actress and writer May Quigley and has one son and three daughters. He lives in Los Angeles, where his search for his family’s treasures continues.
