Lawrence
Welk's Best Kept Secret
For
18 years Dean was the COO of Lawrence Welk's music publishing companies
during
which time he built Welk's copyright holdings into one of the largest,
most respected and
highly
successful independent music publishing companies of all time. So
successful was the firm in every genre of popular music
that one year it received the top publisher award at every major music
industry event that recognized such endeavors.
Dean
signed 11 year old Janet Jackson
to her first music publishing agreement -
with
the approval of father, Joe, of course.
Dean
was a "Markett" on the top 10 single "The Batman Theme"
!Evel
Knievel was lowered into his Skycycle for his attempt to jump the
Snake
River to the strains of Dean's "The Ballad of Evel Kneivel."
