As the manager of successful acts such as The Mamas & The Papas, Jan & Dean and Carole King, Lou Adler was an instrumental figure in the rock world of the '60s and '70s. Later he branched out into the movie business, bringing the wildly successful Rocky Horror Picture Show to American theatres as well as directing the ridiculous series of Cheech & Chong movies made in the late '70s.
Beginning his career as co-manager (along with Herb Alpert) of the California surf group Jan & Dean, Adler eventually teamed up with Alpert in a songwriting/producing partnership. Under the pseudonym "Barbara Campbell," the duo wrote "Only Sixteen" for Sam Cooke; Adler's compositions began turning up on the releases of various California groups during the early '60s.
