Jerry Blaine (December 31, 1910 – March 14, 1973) was a bandleader, label owner, record distributor, and singer who recorded 18 sides for the Master and Bluebird labels in 1937-1938. ==Biography== He was born in Allenwood, New Jersey on December 31, 1910. In May 1946 Herb Abramson founded Jubilee Records and asked Jerry Blaine to become his business partner. In September 1947, Abramson had Blaine buy him out and Blaine became the sole proprietor of Jubilee. Jubilee's first hit record was in 1948 with the Orioles' song "It's Too Soon To Know" (# 1 R&B, # 14 pop). The song was originally issued on Blaine's It's a Natural label. The label also released risque comedy records and Kermit Schafer's blooper recordings. Blaine's largest money maker was his record distribution company, Cosnat Distributing. During Alan Freed's payola trial of February 4, 1960, Blaine was implicated in paying to have his music played on the radio. Jubilee was sold to Viewlex in 1970 and Blaine left the company. He agreed to serve as a consultant to Viewlex for a year. The master tapes were eventually sold to Roulette Records. Morris Levy sold Roulette to Rhino Records in the late 1980s. Jerry Blaine died from a heart attack in 1973 in Nassau, New York. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jerry Blaine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
