In the words of Jerry Ross: "I tell this story only to
illustrate that because no matter how big a star you are...this music
business is a collaboration of other great talents and if you don't
respect that...you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. When
RCA signed Jack Jones, their A&R dept. was reviewing various
creative choices to showcase the popular singing star. As a
special favor and an outside project for me, Joe D'Imperio (President
of RCA) contacted me as his choice to work with Jack Jones on the
studio. I selected some powerful ballads...Claus Ogerman (my
arranger) and I rehearsed; and the RCA studios were alive with full
orchestra/choral singers and no Jack...He finally arrived with a
disheartened disposition and walked thru a couple of takes and
left. The record was barely released...it escaped! I think
I have the only mint 45 copy. What was to be a memorable creative
moment for me is still a mystery. PS: This was another
wonderful Teddy Randazzo song and a magnificent Claus Ogerman
arrangement! Thank you both!"
