I believe we have the potential to discover some great talent and put promotion back behind the artists."

Looking back through Regans career is an impressive journey through some of music industrys iconic talents.

The first song Regan promoted was Please Mr. Postman" by The Marvelettes in the 1960s. From there he promoted artists such as The Supremes, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles and Marvin Gaye -- laying the foundation for the Motown Sound." In 1966, while serving as General Manager of Loma Records, he came across a song called Thats Life." Sensing its hit potential, he gave it to Frank Sinatra to record. The song went on to become an adult contemporary standard and one of the biggest selling records of Sinatras career. When a friend needed a new name for a group called the Pendletons who had a song called Surfin," Regan thought for a moment, and changed their name to the Beach Boys.

Regan moved to Uni Records, a division of MCA, Inc. in 1967. In 1968 he signed the now legendary Neil Diamond. In 1970, when Regan heard the demo tapes of an unknown singer/songwriter, he knew that he was on to something special. That singer/songwriter was Elton John. In 1972, Regan was appointed President of 20th Century Records. With his golden ear and keen promotional skills, the hits kept coming with the likes of Barry White, The DeFranco Family, Carl Douglas, Maureen McGovern and The Alan Parsons Project.

Throughout Regans career, his focus has always been on the artist. Thats why MakeaStar.com is such a natural evolution in his ever-evolving career.
