In March 1964 the heavyweight champion Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali, a name given to him by the founder of the Nation of Islam, Elijah Muhammad. Ali was famous for, among other things, referring to himself as “the greatest”.

In the same month that Clay became Ali, Bob founded Electrosonic in the UK. Through 50 years of extraordinary evolution at the company, Bob Simpson has remained a constant. He’s still part of Electrosonic, and has captured the history of the company in the book: Electrosonic 50 Years on the Audio-Visual Frontline.
