(68) JERRY CAPEHART / AMERICAN MUSIC

American Music, one of the biggest music publishing companies in the West, was owned by an eccentric named Sylvester Cross. I was signed by Jerry Capehart there to a five year contract.

Jerry Capehart was a great part of Eddie Cochran's success. He was a successful songwriter in his own rite. Jerry had been his manager and had written hit songs with Eddie including the forever great "Summertime Blues," and "C'Mon Everybody," as well as "Teen-Age Heaven."
