Gene Norman (born January 30, 1922) was a nightclub owner, music promoter, record label owner, radio disc jockey, and television host. He purchased The Crescendo in 1954 in West Hollywood where he booked jazz artists including Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Johnny Mathis, Duke Ellington, Peggy Lee, and comics Don Rickles, Mort Sahl, Lenny Bruce, and Bob Newhart. He recorded many live recordings at the venue and released them on his record label "Gene Norman Presents." He later expanded the label's genres to include R&B, blues, and pop music. As a disc jockey he was well known as one of the "Big 5" disc jockeys at KLAC in the 1950s as well as hosting the television show, "The Gene Norman Show." In 1991, he was inducted into the American Association of Independent Music's Hall of Fame.
