The Untold Truth Of Richard Branson

Published 9 apr. 2019

Like many Billionaires, Richard Branson has plenty of Quirks, and his Wealth has allowed him to create quite the Lifestyle. But his is not the Story of a typical CEO. From the Sex, and the Drugs, to, yes, the Rock n’ Roll, here are the wildest Stories that have come out about Richard Branson.
You know that spooky Piano Song from The Exorcist? It wasn’t just made for the Movie. It’s a song by musician Mike Oldfield called “Tubular Bells,” and it was Virgin Records‘ first big Hit. In fact, it’s what got Branson to go from selling Records to making them as well.
According to an Interview with The Guardian, Branson heard a Demo Tape of the Track and called it, Quote, “Some of the most beautiful music I’d ever heard.” The then small time Music Merchant tried to get more established Record Labels interested in the Song, but they all wanted to make Changes to the Sound, so Branson helped release it himself, as the first Release from Virgin Records.
The Song’s Appearance in the 1973 Horror Classic brought it worldwide acclaim, holding on to the British Music Charts for an incredible 286 weeks. It was a massive Hit that changed the Lives of both Branson and Oldfield, helping to make Virgin Records a real Player in the Music Business.
The Success of the Track stuck with Branson, who later said he named one of the Virgin Aircrafts ‘Tubular Belle‘ in Honour of the Song. Since he credits the Song with jumpstarting the whole Virgin Enterprise, he’s naturally quite fond of it as he later told The Guardian, “I’ve listened to it so much, my Wife won’t let me play it anymore.”
Strangely enough, it reportedly took 10 years after the Release of The Exorcist for Oldfield to watch the Movie that helped make it such a Hit. Maybe he didn’t want to ruin his Appetite for Pea Soup.

Losing My Virginity: The Autobiography (1)

The Autobiography of the Virgin Tycoon

“Having come close to dying over the Atlas Mountains, I thought that I should write this Book now, in case my Guardian Angel ever deserts me. I also realised that my Children, Holly and Sam, who are still young, would not really know what I had done and why I had done it. So this Autobiography is for Holly and Sam, the best thing I’ve created in the last eighteen years (though I can’t take all the Credit). But most especially for their Mother, my Wife Joan, who’s seen me through most of the Highs and Lows. I have also written this Book to show how we made Virgin what it is today. Rather like our Balloon Flights, these years have been all about Survival. If you read carefully between the Lines you will, I hope, understand our Vision and where we are going. Some People say that this Vision breaks all the Rules and is wildly kaleidoscopic. others say that Virgin is set to become one of the leading Brand Names of the next Century. Others analyse it down to the Last Degree and write Academic Papers on it. As for me and the wonderful Team around me, we just pick up the Phone and get on with it and have one Hell of an Adventure in the Process.”
