Jimmy Duncan (songwriter)
Jimmy Duncan (née James Ollie Duncan, Jr.; 25 June 1927 in
Fabian and in 1963 for Ricky Nelson.[2]
In the late 1960s, Duncan owned a rock club in Houston named "The Living Eye"; nationally known groups such as the
Electric Prunes and ? and the Mysterians played there, as well as local groups such as Lemon Fog.[3]
In 1970, Duncan built a recording studio called "Soundville" in Houston and launched his own label, Soundville.[4][5] Soundville Recording Studio closed under financial duress in 1972 and was sold to Bill Holford, as the new home of ACA Studios (Audiophile Custom Associates).[6][7]

The Pretty Things and "Everybody Knows", a minor hit in 1964 for Steve Lawrence
