Kenny Smith’s 40 Years in the Music Buz
Kenny Smith’s 40 years in the music business is along time for a veteran who started out in Rosamond California. This year celebrates Smith’s early days as a poineer in the business of independent record production. By looking at the label, one gets to look at history in the days when independent producers did not exsist. Along with a young trumphet player and promotions person, A&M produced one of their first productions. It’s a classic tale of moving from in-front of the microphone to the front desk of the record business. Smith’s new release is entitled “Contents Under Pressure”, featuring the lyrics of Linda Lou Kestin.
