Creatures Of The Street


Jerry Brandt
Rest In Peace

"My philosophy? Have fun, make a buck, and when the DA says 'not guilty,' don't applaud..." Jerry Brandt "discovered" Chubby Checker and Carly Simon, was responsible for bringing the Rolling Stones to the States, and worked with Sam Cooke, Muhammad Ali, and countless others as a talent agent. He also opened famed NYC clubs The Electric Circus, Spo-Dee-O-Dee, and The Ritz, and managed the career of Jobriath. Brandt was yet another victim of COVID-19.
