After Eton and Trinity College Cambridge where William Cavendish obtained an MA in English Literature in 1963, his intention was to qualify as a Chartered Accountant in London. Instead by chance, he was introduced to the Chairman of EMI at a party in 1964 and to his surprise, was asked me to become his Personal Assistant the next day. The next week, EMI’s artists, The Beatles, topped the charts in America for the first time. William stayed with Sir Joe for the rest of his friend’s life, working together for over twenty years.
