Here’s a photo of Mike Nesmith and Felton Jarvis, the man who signed Michael to RCA and is credited as producer for several recording dates with The First National Band. Although he played a significant role in kicking off Michael’s solo career, the producer credit was more of a courtesy. “Felton came out to L.A. once during the sessions, on his way to Las Vegas with Elvis. He stayed for about an hour and did not provide any production work. I saw him as more of a liaison with RCA, I talked to him about money and such. I liked him quite a bit, but he didn’t ‘produce’ Magnetic South.” Michael Nesmith
