Sandy Stanton was a song-poem pioneer. As the owner of Film City Records, Stanton discovered a young musician named Rodd Keith and initiated him to the song-poem game. A gifted composer, multi-instrumentalist, versatile singer, arranger, producer and sometimes engineer, Keith quickly developed into a one-man song-poem killing machine. He went on to have the most artistically successful career in the genre's history.
Stanton also introduced to the song-poem arsenal a pre-digital sampling keyboard called the Chamberlin. Using strips of pre-recorded magnetic tape, the Chamberlin was able to replicate any instrument in the orchestra as well as human voices and sound effects. Following Stanton's lead, other song-poem companies began using the instrument, recognizing it as a less-expensive alternative to live bands or as an efficient enhancement to an underlying band recording. Its eight-second strips of tape limited the Chamberlin -- and its better-known English descendent, the Mellotron -- to rather unnatural distortions of the instruments sampled, although the song-poem entrepreneurs seemed hardly to have noticed. In the hands of a sonic alchemist like Rodd Keith this con became a pro, his deftness and inventiveness with the instrument proving it to have a delightfully wheezy sound all its own. Sandy Stanton was the LA-area distributor for Harry Chamberlin's eponymous device, and even sold a unit to his chief local competitor.
