Sixty Years of Hits: Straight From the Horse's Mouth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781494815165)

In 1952 successful songwriter Buck Ram, and Jean Bennett, a hopeful girl singer from Missouri, began an entertainment management company that created the #1 group of the 50's - The Platters. For thirty-eight years Personality Productions kept a roster of fifteen or more artists at all times including The Flares, Peter Breck, Bert Convey, Sugar and Spice, Morton Downey, Jr., The Pengiuns, The Colts, The Blockbusters and Benny Joy. These pages are a collection of press releases, office notes, correspondence and Jean's Personality Pluggers covering a few of those acts. They begin in 1952 and continue through 2013. This collection shows how the first international superstar group in music was created - before computers, the internet, facebook, power steering, and super highways with rest stops using nothing but a telephone, mimeograph sets and a manual typewriter. This is how Rock began to Roll
