- Russ_Regan abstract "Russ Regan (born Harold Rustigan) is a long-time record executive who was President of both UNI Records and 20th Century Records. Regan also worked at Motown among other companies and the musical recordings he has been involved with during his career have reportedly achieved sales of over one billion records worldwide.Regan started in record promotion with Motown in the early years of the company. His first project there was the company's first Billboard Hot 100 number one record, \"Please Mr. Postman\" by The Marvelettes, (also #1 R&B) in 1961. He would go on to promote songs by the likes of The Supremes, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations and Marvin Gaye. He suggested the name of The Beach Boys when a Los Angeles group called The Pendeltons had just recorded a song called \"Surfin'\". He also helped Frank Sinatra record his #4 hit, \"That's Life\" in 1966. He struck a deal with Jimmy Miller Productions when Miller left The Rolling Stones which resulted in albums from B.B.King, Henry Gross, Bobby Whitlock, and others. Regan also signed Ambrosia and Harriet Schock to 20th Century Records.Russ Regan played a major role in the careers of some of the biggest names of recorded music as he headed up labels such as Uni, 20th Century & Polygram Records. Dozens of recording artists, including super stars Elton John, Neil Diamond, Barry White, Olivia Newton-John and The Beach Boys had Regan to thank for opening the doors for their success. One of his most surprising successes while at Uni was South African trumpeter Hugh Masakela's \"Grazing In The Grass\" in 1968, which sold over a million and reached the top spot in the Billboard pop chart.While President of 20th Century Records, Regan was inspired from a dream to create the Cult Movie All This and World War II which saw Fox News Footage from WWII backed with Superstars singing Beatles tunes. The movie was never released on video, and remains in the vaults of 20th Century Fox. Regan also supervised the soundtracks for the movies Endless Love, Breakin', The Karate Kid, All The Right Moves, Love At First Bite, This Is Spinal Tap and A Chorus Line. Regan was also the Music Supervisor for four Academy Award winning songs from the films: The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, Flashdance and Chariots of Fire.He started his career in the 1950s as a composer and record producer. His first notable hit was a 1959 Christmas novelty song inspired by \"The Chipmunk Song\" titled \"The Happy Reindeer\" by Dancer, Prancer and Nervous (#34, pop) issued by Capitol Records. In the early 1960s, Regan recorded \"Joan of Love\", backed with \"Adults Only\", which was released under the name Russ Regan. He also recorded \"Calling All Cars\" under the name Davy Summers for Warner Brothers with producer Sonny Bono. In the mid-1960s, he was drafted in to help form a musical direction for Warner Brothers' fledgling pop/soul music subsidiary, Loma Records.Regan, along with more than two dozen other radio and music industry leaders, is a member of the nominating committee of the Hit Parade Hall of Fame. He is one of only a few record executives in the world who has had a number one record in each of four decades (1970s-2000s).".
