Page "Peter Grant (music manager)" Paragraph 3

In 1963, Grant was hired by promoter Don Arden to act as the British tour manager for artists such as Bo Diddley, the Everly Brothers, Little Richard, Brian Hyland, Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent and the Animals.

By 1964, Grant had started to manage his own acts including the Nashville Teens, an all-girl group called She Trinity, the New Vaudeville Band, Jeff Beck, Terry Reid and Stone the Crows.

His management was established in the same 155 Oxford Street office used by his friend, record producer Mickie Most, who had previously worked with Grant at the 2i's club.

Most and Grant together set up the highly successful RAK Records label, which produced a string of hits throughout the 1970s.
