Lee Morgan? We drank with him in Tipton, GA one evening back in, maybe 1968. I was touring with Trini Lopez. Well, after a few Harvey Wallbangers, Lee and Trini decided to climb the giant peach-shaped water tower they have down there. The damn thing must be 300-feet tall. About halfway up, Trini got scared and climbed back down, but ol' Lee just kept climbing, all the while throwing down articles of clothing until he was pantless. Nothing but a dickie and his little ballcap. Tipton's finest showed up about that time and started yelling at him through their bullhorn to "get the hell down off of there!" Lee did climb back down, doing a little bow at the bottom before they cuffed him and took him away. Loved that man. They don't make 'em like Lee Morgan anymore!

The Music Factory was a show, then it was a recording studio (which he helped establish). The label might have been associated with the studio. If anyone wants to check around, post here.

Sorry, my faulty mem -- Wilson helped establish THE RECORD PLANT, not the Music Factory. Understandable mistake: Music/Record, Factory/Plant.
Avatar 4:22pm
Joe McG:

I looked at all the 45s and LPs on the Music Factory label (which has the same logo as the radio show) and Tom Wilson doesn't seem to have produced any of them, so maybe MGM just thought it was a cool logo and reused it.

Jerry Pelt? No. it can't be the same man I toured with in Connie Chung's band. Before she was a newswoman, Connie fronted a smart little jazz octet and Jerry was first flautist. I, of course, played trombone. Jerry was an early proponent of fuzz boxes, and he irritated Connie many times by engaging it at the most inopportune moments, such as when Connie was introducing Vice-President Nixon during the Eisenhower administration. It was the first and last time we ever played in Whittier. Nixon couldn't stand Jerry's distorted flute version of Hail to the Chief and he walked off stage with the sourest of looks on his face. Another thing. Jerry never performed without putting an aspirin in his Coke. He said it helped him get "out there," and he certainly was. Loved him!
