                                                                Jackie Brown
Jackie was a regular Session Musician at Abbey Road Studios for a number of years and was most likely involved in the making of many successful recordings.
 In 1954, he found work as an arranger, a composer and a musician and made a number of records with an assortment of Bands, Orchestras and Groups. Many records where he was involved in not only there making, but also in their production found success.......Without question the most prestigious record that Jackie made was his 1954 recording of The Theme from the film, The Glenn Miller Story with music written by Henry Mancini. On the flip side was Ballet of the Bells, written by Ray Martin and released on the Columbia Record Label.

Lawrence Eugene Williams (May 10, 1935 – January 7, 1980) was an American rhythm and blues and rock and roll singer, songwriter, and pianist from New Orleans. He is best known for writing and recording some rock and roll classics from 1957 to 1959 for Specialty Records, including "Bony Moronie", "Short Fat Fannie", "Slow Down", "Dizzy, Miss Lizzy" (1958), "Bad Boy" and "She Said Yeah" (1959). John Lennon was a fan, and the Beatles and several other British Invasion groups recorded several of his songs.

The Squadronaires is a Royal Air Force band which began and performed in Britain during and after World War II. The official title of the band was 'The Royal Air Force Dance Orchestra', but it was always known by the more popular title "The Squadronaires".
