. To date, Jack Gillen is the only person in the U.S. to be awarded a gold record for selling the most Elvis Presley records. He would soon shift careers and become a writer. His credentials as an astrologist and author has made it possible for him to publish over 48 books. in Miami. People like Chuck Kirkpatrick, Mack Emerman and Frank Linale help make my career what it was. I learned a lot from Tom Dowd and Henry Stone, who was the Godfather of the Miami Sound during that time. I was just fortunate to be at the right place at the right time, which led to an opportunity to work with some really great people. Jack Gillen: I was hooked on Elvis from the first day I heard him sing. Tom Diskin had me sit and watch the Welcome Home show in Miami. I was only 18 at the time and wasn’t part of the camp until meeting Gabe Tucker. A few years after meeting Gabe, he asked me if I could work up a method to sell more Elvis Presley records. Gabe admired my work as an astrologer. He said that didn’t want anyone to know that we were using astrology to help promote Elvis Presley recordings. Gabe was into astrology but Elvis’ wife did not want him near Elvis. Warlock Asylum: How did you get into music production? Did you ever dream of being a recording artist yourself? Warlock Asylum: You worked as a producer for Zodiac International. How did this record company start and with what aims? Like Henry Stone, I had other labels that we were trying to sell to a larger company. On one hand, I started recording audio astrology. Records with the blue label dealt with astrology. I also had orange music. The name Zodiac International described the best of both talents, so the label name was written in stone sort to speak. Warlock Asylum: Now after all these years, it looks like there will be a revival of Zodiac International. Can you tell us a little about the current state of the recording company and its latest projects? Have a back-up plan that you can fall back on in case your dreams of getting into music or writing can’t pay the rent. You have to be at the right place at the right time. Remember that most of us are in this business because we love it Zodiac International Music Zodiac International Music
