George Goldner's Gambling Addiction

George Goldner was a record executive in the 50s and 60s. He had an almost unique combination of strong points and flaws as a record executive. His strongest point was his musical taste, nobody who knew him respected his taste but everyone respected his ability to pick a hit. The Chantels were backed by Jimmy Pemberton on Rags to Richards; they also backed Barrett himself on Summer Love. There had been some attempts to give Arlene a separate career outside the Chantels.
