Steve
was unique among jingle writers. Unlike other composers, who were paid a
flat price for their jingles, Steve was the only one of his peers to
receive royalties every time one of his jingles was performed on TV or
Radio. His informal industry title "The King of Jingles" may have been
given to him because of this extraordinary business ability to retain
publishing rights.
He was born into a conservative family. His father was from Russia. Karmen grew up with Bobby Darin, and played with him in a band in the 1950s. They met while they were at the Bronx High School of Science. He played saxophone and guitar.
