The Teen Chords and the Valentine's

Richie Barrett was a talent scout for George Goldman's record labels. The Valentine's had released several records, but none of them had had anything but local success. Jackie Landry managed to obtain his home address and get in touch with him. She got the address through a friend of hers, a member of the Teen Chords - fronted by Frankie Lyman's brother Lewis. They tracked down Barrett, and he agreed to try to get them signed to a record deal. According to Renee Minus White's autobiography though, each of the girls has a different recollection of how they first met Barrett.
