Happy 61st birthday to the legendary Rick Rubin! He first worked with The Smashing Pumpkins on "Let Me Give the World to You" in 1998, then later on Shiny and Oh So Bright: Vol. 1, and Billy Corgan's second solo album, Ogilala.

Frederick Jay "Rick" Rubin is the former co-president of Columbia Records and probably best known for helping popularize hip-hop music with artists like Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Public Enemy and Run-DMC. In 2007, MTV called him "the most important producer of the last 20 years", and the same year Rubin appeared on Time's 100 Most Influential People in the World.

During the recording of Adore, Virgin Records sent in Rick Rubin to assist Corgan (2nd photo). The two went on to record "Let Me Give the World to You", which was taken off of the album at the last minute. The recording took place at Studio A at Sound City, coincidentally the room where Nirvana recorded Nevermind. A heavily reworked version was recorded for 2000's Machina II without Rubin's help, but the song would go unreleased for 16 years until being put on the 2014 reissue of Adore.

In 2017, Rubin teamed up with Corgan again for Ogilala, followed by SP's Shiny Vol. 1 in 2018. In a Forbes interview, Corgan said of Rubin: "I think he has an incredible ear for clarity. If you present something three different ways he’ll pick the way that is most clear … that would then translate to people all over the world. What he’s attracted to is what a lot of other people would be attracted to … He has a way of navigating to the heart of the matter. As an artist, that can be kind of weird because, in many ways, it feels like it’s not enough, like there should be more. I’ll give you a perfect example, during the recording sessions he played me one of his favorite Neil Diamond songs that I never heard … He was literally in tears because he loved the song so much. And his point for showing me the song was to illustrate a certain emotional quality that Neil captured on the song. And that was his way of communicating, “Gee, I wish you would get some of this in what you’re doing.” But he wouldn’t tell you how to do that, nor would he try to manipulate you."
