Jay Richard Kennedy (July 23, 1911 - October 14, 1991) was a multi-talented individual, known for his roles as an author, screenwriter, composer, publisher, and record executive. He also served as an FBI informant and later became Harry Belafonte's business manager. In his sixties, he collaborated with Frank Sinatra. Transitioning in his seventies, Kennedy departed from the entertainment industry and founded a psychotherapy clinic named the Center For Human Problems. However, he faced accusations of practicing psychotherapy without proper licensing in what was described as a cult-like setting. Despite this controversy, he remained committed to leftist causes, eventually advising James Farmer of the Congress of Racial Equality in his later years.
