Signing my publishing deal at A&M / Almo Irving in 1977 after every other publisher in Los Angeles turned me down. I got eight songs recorded over the next three months including Rita’s “Love Me Again” and my Maxine Nightengale hit “Lead Me On”. (L-R) Shelley Weiss, Connie Pappas, Chuck Kaye, me, Ken Fritz, and ex-manager who somehow still gets 20% of my publishing royalties on all songs I wrote between 1977 and 1981 and Lance Freed.
