Regarding the recent thread about prominent women in the record business,
I'd like to add Neva Starns (wife of Jack Starns) as one of the original
pioneers behind Starday...
She ran Neva's Club (the Beaumont nightclub where all the Starday acts
played),
had her own business as an artist manager (Neva's Booking and Managing
Agency) which managed nearly all of the early Starday acts,
and is regarded by many as the driving force behind the first year of
Starday Records.
After Starday she continued her career as an artist manager, most notably
as Jean Shepard's manager.
