It would be headed up by Ben Nesbit who had just retired from his position as the MD of Feldman\u2019s Music Publishing Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The birth of Delben Music and their new talent scout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was happy to be given the job as a talent scout, being tasked with finding promising new acts for the company, although my engineering work for the studio would always come first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of 1974, Delben music took out a large advert in Melody Maker, the best-selling music weekly paper at the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The banner headline read \u201c<em>Do you think you have got what it takes to be a star?<\/em>\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">This was followed by &#8220;<em>contact Kenny Denton<\/em>,&#8221; and a dedicated studio switchboard phone number was added as well as the postal address of the studio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the moment the ad appeared in the paper the phone lines were jammed solid, followed by an avalanche of mail in the next few days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buried deep amongst the hundreds of letters that arrived every week, there would occasionally be an act that I believed would be worth bringing in for an audition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time for Koffee n Kreme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I received a very professional package from someone called Christy Lee, who managed a duo called Koffee n Kreme.&nbsp;I wasn&#8217;t aware at the time but In 1963 Christy and her band, The Beat Chics,<em> <\/em>supported <em>The Beatles<\/em> on the their first tour of Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"914\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Paul-CHRISTY.jpg?resize=1024%2C914&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Paul-CHRISTY.jpg?resize=1024%2C914&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Paul-CHRISTY.jpg?resize=300%2C268&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Paul-CHRISTY.jpg?resize=768%2C685&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Paul-CHRISTY.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Paul and Christy 1963 Image (C) Unknown<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koffee was Lance Ellington and Kreme, Beth Hannah, they both looked good and both had excellent voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lance was the son of Ray Ellington<em> <\/em>who was a popular singer, drummer and band leader throughout the 50\u2019s and 60&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Goons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ray Ellington Quartet &amp; The Goons had a regular musical segment on The Goon Show from 1951 to 1960, he also had a small speaking role in many episodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Goon Show was a British radio comedy programme, produced and broadcast by the BBC Home Service from 1951 to 1960 and starred Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe and Michael Bentine<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Show was a ground-breaking series which revolutionised comedy and has influenced comedians ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audition time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I contacted Christy and asked them to come in for an audition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being pleased with the results, I invited Ben Nesbit down to the studio to listen to the tracks and introduced him to them to the duo and Christy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ben saw gold with this clean-cut good-looking duo with a positive pushy manager and so quickly offered them a recording contract which they all duly signed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"848\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8492.jpg?resize=848%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8492.jpg?resize=848%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 848w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8492.jpg?resize=249%2C300&amp;ssl=1 249w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8492.jpg?resize=768%2C927&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8492.jpg?w=1140&amp;ssl=1 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Koffee n Kreme Image \u00a9 The Stage Media Company Limited <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We then set about making a single.

He managed the careers of rock acts such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Air Supply, Small Faces, The Move, Black Sabbath and Electric Light Orchestra, to name but a few. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1966, Arden and a squad of &#8220;minders&#8221; turned up at impresario Robert Stigwood\u2019s office to &#8220;teach him a lesson&#8221; for daring to discuss a change of management with the Small Faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This became one of the most infamous incidents from the 1960s British pop business. Arden reportedly threatened to throw Stigwood out of the window if he ever interfered with his business again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;It&#8217;s safe to say Don Arden was a hard-nosed businessman. Ian MacLagan said the Small Faces (who had&nbsp;fourteen hit singles&nbsp;and five hit albums in the UK plus commercial success across mainland Europe, Australia, and New Zealand)&nbsp;were on &#8220;\u00a320 a week, that was it.

Lance and Bet were the top story of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time to celebrate <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don Arden had arranged a lavish champagne reception in several adjoining suites at the top of the Hilton Hotel, Park Lane London, to celebrate the New Faces win and to launch their new single. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rooms were packed with press, special invited guests and plenty of hangers on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the reception my wife, Sue, turned to me and asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;What does Don Arden look like?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I explained <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He hasn&#8217;t arrived yet, but imagine an English &#8220;Don Corleone&#8221; from the movie The Godfather<em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shortly after, he did arrive and Sue spotted him straight away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He strolled into the room both hands in his trousers pockets looking every bit as intimidating as his reputation hinted at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The beginning of the end <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this really wonderful, over the top, bash I noticed Lance, Bet and Christy Lee disappear with Don Arden into a side room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A short time later they all returned to the main reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was a distinct change in their facial expressions, they appeared so optimistic in the last 24 hours but there was a definite change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found out the following day that Don Arden had told Christy Lee that he would be taking over the management of the duo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sometimes you just can&#8217;t win<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much to Don\u2019s surprise, as diminutive as Christy was, she was tough as nails and there was no way she was standing down as manager and going let Don take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m not sure she was aware of the Robert Stigwood story but I really don&#8217;t think that would have made any difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She had worked so hard with the couple for a very long time and they had become great friends. She also had a firm contract plus, of course, the full support of Lance and Bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"844\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8491.jpg?resize=844%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8491.jpg?resize=844%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 844w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8491.jpg?resize=247%2C300&amp;ssl=1 247w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8491.jpg?resize=768%2C931&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8491.jpg?w=1100&amp;ssl=1 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Koffee n Kreme Image: (C) Mick Cooper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don by name, Don by nature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don was furious, he had achieved a huge amount of success in his career and was very used to getting his own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> As the head of the label had said, &#8220;no management contract &#8211; no release&#8221; and that he would bury the act, lucky enough not literally, despite his notorious reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Their fate was sealed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koffee n Kreme\u2019s career peaked on the Saturday night and was over within 24 hours, they disappeared from the limelight faster than a politician&#8217;s promise after election night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly, Beth passed away at a very young age, but happily Lance went on to have a very successful career, something he rightly deserved. He went on to work with many artists including&nbsp; Sting, George Michael Gloria Gaynor, Micheal Jackson And Robbie Williams he also made regular performances on the&nbsp;BBC programme&nbsp;Strictly Come Dancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delben Music were never going to swamp the charts with hits, but it was always interesting scouting for talent and mostly a&nbsp;whole lot of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wouldn&#8217;t change a minute of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"946\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Koffee-Kreme-Blog-Daiy.png?resize=946%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7595\" style=\"width:918px;height:993px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Koffee-Kreme-Blog-Daiy.png?resize=946%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 946w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Koffee-Kreme-Blog-Daiy.png?resize=277%2C300&amp;ssl=1 277w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Koffee-Kreme-Blog-Daiy.png?resize=768%2C831&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Koffee-Kreme-Blog-Daiy.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 946px) 100vw, 946px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">It depends who you asked, but I think I was a better recording engineer and record producer than I was at spelling at this time, but I was really busy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a link to my YouTube channel Denton115 <em>Keeping the Memory Alive.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/denton115\/videos?app=desktop\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/denton115\/videos?app=desktop<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-kenny-denton wp-block-embed-kenny-denton\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Q7Ty28g8oV\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kennydenton.com\/?p=4005\">You Gotta Have Faith that I&#8217;m Your Man<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cYou Gotta Have Faith that I\u2019m Your Man\u201d \u2014 Kenny Denton\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennydenton.com\/?p=4005&amp;embed=true#?secret=VzrFxeRFtR#?secret=Q7Ty28g8oV\" data-secret=\"Q7Ty28g8oV\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-kenny-denton wp-block-embed-kenny-denton\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"O53gVZzRr2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kennydenton.com\/?p=2718\">Secrets In The Attic<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cSecrets In The Attic\u201d \u2014 Kenny Denton\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennydenton.com\/?p=2718&amp;embed=true#?secret=rMEPfONyar#?secret=O53gVZzRr2\" data-secret=\"O53gVZzRr2\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-kenny-denton wp-block-embed-kenny-denton\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"laWHOayLWT\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kennydenton.com\/?p=2728\">Strange But True: Music Industry Anecdotes<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cStrange But True: Music Industry Anecdotes\u201d \u2014 Kenny Denton\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennydenton.com\/?p=2728&amp;embed=true#?secret=jSPfqxSPAm#?secret=laWHOayLWT\" data-secret=\"laWHOayLWT\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-kenny-denton wp-block-embed-kenny-denton\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"W2wwUzhTDo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kennydenton.com\/?p=389\">James Garner Mistakenly Thought To Be Rock Hudson.
