But I believe it is absurd to think that if Trump met and discussed matters with Powell, and he was positively disposed toward her, that she's being "kept" from him. Quite the contrary, if Trump wants to meet with someone, they get an audience with him - and if not, he avoids them.
To be sure, there are handlers, and people constantly whispering into Trump's ear about this guy or gal being bad etc. Trump isn't perfect - look at his AGs and the Mooch - so I am not saying there isn't any chance that someone is blocking Powell from Trump. But I seriously doubt it.
Re: Album sales. It looks like Captain and Tennille sold under 5MM albums, Helen Reddy sold about 6MM albums, Debbie Gibson also sold about 5MM albums but had many longform video sales, and Jim sold 23MM units
JIMI HENDRIX
Cert. Units (In Millions): 23
Gold Units: 16
Platinum Units: 10 Multi Platinum Units: 6
Diamond Units: 0
Format: Standard
Zeppelin clocks in at #5 all-time at 111.5MM units.
I still think Jimi tops all of this lot. People still try to copy Hendrix, while few kids try to emulate Page's sloppy playing.
Yeah, but I grew up with a bunch of high schoolers that thought Jimmy Page was the dude. I was unimpressed.
