Don Arden is known as one of the toughest British pop managers of the 1960s and 1970s, handling major acts such as the Small Faces, the Electric Light Orchestra, Black Sabbath, and Ozzy Osbourne.
The debate was still going in 1999, when Arden told OJO that he was paying their parents money on top of the 20 pounds a week going to each of the Small Faces.
Arden actually did a crooning pop single of "Sunrise, Sunset" for Decca in 1967, but continued with rock management by taking on Amen Corner, Skip Bifferty, and (in their final years) the Move, which in turn led him to Electric Light Orchestra, founded by Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood of the Move.
