Renee Diane Kushner started singing at an early age and took voice lessons from Artie Singer, a voice teacher who also managed Danny and the Juniors (of "At the Hop") fame. Singer encouraged Renee to pursue a recording career. Record producer/songwriter Pete DeAngelis was a frequent customer at the Kushners' jewelry store, and Renee's parents arranged for her to audition for De Angelis. DeAngelis, impressed with her talents, got Renee signed to the Atco label. Under the new stage name Diane Renay, Renee released her first single, "Little White Lies," in 1962, but it failed to chart nationally, as did the follow-up, "Tender," and Atco dropped her from the label. Her original intent was to be billed as Renay Diane, but her first Atco release copies mistakenly reversed it. She decided to keep it that way. |
