Ronnie Schneider
Ronnie Schneider is among a select handful of individuals who can claim to have taken an active part in the explosive beginnings of 1960's rock'n'roll.
After leaving the University of Miami, where he majored in accounting, Ron Schneider moved to New York City and took a job with ABKCO Records. There he was responsible for handling the likes of Sam Cooke, Neil Sedaka, and Bobby Vinton. Then, Allen Klein instructed him that he would be touring with a group of boys called The Rolling Stones. Schneider would be responsible for them and their money. After accepting this challenge, Ron embarked on the road with the Greatest Rock and Roll band of all time! He continued, working with the Beatles and producing spaghetti westerns.
In 1969 Schneider was asked to head the The Rolling Stones tour. The Stones requested footage for their European tour, and through a series of events led to the production of Gimme Shelter.
Ronnie Schneider became one of Rock and Roll's undercover good guys!
