Biography

(1939-2021) Staff producer for RCA Records during the 1960s. Graduated from the The University Of Illinois School Of Music in 1961 with a Bachelor of Music Education where he was also a member of folk-pop quartet The Lincolns. Jarrard parted ways with the group after their relocation to Los Angeles, California. He then joined The Greenwood County Singers and Rick And Donna (with Greenwood bandmate Donna Di Martino) and went on to establish himself as a producer with Jefferson Airplane's 1967 breakout album Surrealistic Pillow for RCA.
