Robert "Shep" Pettibone (born 10 July 1959)[1][2] is an American record producer,[3] remixer,[4] songwriter[1] and club DJ,[1] one of the most prolific of the 1980s.[5][6]
Shep Pettibone surfaced after his work with Arthur BakeronAfrika Bambaataa & the Jazzy 5's "Jazzy Sensation" and as an in-house mix engineer for Prelude Records.[citation needed] During his recording career, he launched innovative "mastermixes" for New York's KISS FM.[citation needed] The popularity of these mixes persuaded Prelude Records to release some of them commercially.[citation needed]
Pettibone built his brand through his personal approach to remixing tracks, specially crafted for the dancefloor.[citation needed] Acclaimed by DJs worldwide,[citation needed] he was the go-to man to achieve club and chart success.[citation needed] His prowess at production and mixing led him to work with such artists as Madonna[7] and George Michael[7] in the late 1980s during the height of these artists' popularity. His influence is still perceivable in today's music.[citation needed]
Pettibone is the subject of the first volume of the Arthur Baker Presents Dance Masters series,[citation needed] Shep Pettibone: The Classic 12" Master-Mixes, a 47-song box set with highlights from his career.[8]
Pettibone, co-writer and co-producer of Madonna's 1990 hit "Vogue", sued Warner Music in a dispute over withholding royalty payments.[9][10][11] An appeals court ruled that the music producer was not responsible for paying the publishing giant's legal fees in a previous case.[citation needed]
