Biography - Rainbow 
USA
Established in 1947, owned by Harry Fromkes and Herb Hendler, with Eddie Heller as Sales Promotion manager.
By 1949 Heller seemed to be in full charge, signing and even managing his artists.
In its first year Rainbow were listening to the needs of the juke box operators and made sure their discs ran for around two minutes. Longer recordings meant that juke boxes earned less money every hour
