Most than likely Ed Wingate and Joanne Bratton were managing their roster like most CEO's were at the time. It was a conflict of interest that folks just dealt with as well as not owning any of the publishing on their songs. LeBaron and Wingate probably couldn't come an agreement that would please them both. Big Ed's pockets were much much deeper than LeBaron's,he gave Don Davis opportunities and that was LeBaron's business partner for awhile. Wingate might've been expected to sacrifice more financially than he was comfortable with.Just my opinion.
