The Rubins: A Review

Gardner and Chapman started sharing the lead vocals between them. But they only had one recording session where this was the case, before Poplum started to surface in the group. Gardner believed that R&B was going to be a passing fad, and was pushing for the group to go more in the big band style. Abe Stoller was disappointed to see that the venture he had invested in, which he believed was going to make everyone rich, was losing money. Despite this, Lieber and Stoller continued to pump out great records for the Rubins,. including records like The Hatchet Man, a response to Billy Ward and the Domino's 60-minute call up.
