Other Side Of George Kerr

In the annals of soul music history, singer/songwriter/producer/entrepreneur/publisher/label owner George Kerr will always be considered an instrumental figure in the music's development. After a stint as a replacement for Little Anthony with the Imperials, Kerr became a member of the Serenaders, a New York based group. After an audition with Berry Gordy, he relocated for a brief time to Detroit where he honed his skills as a songwriter and producer. Pairing a singer with a song had always been one of George's great talents. A case in point would be Linda Jones and the song Hypnotized that became a huge hit in the mid-1960's or being the first producer to record a soul group (The Escorts) behind bars (all the members were in prison). Fearless and adventurous, Kerr has remained a vital figure in soul music, particularly in New Jersey (his home turf) with successes in every decade since he started out. In 1970, somehow George found time to release his own album, The Other Side of George Kerr - which remains one of the great overlooked soul albums of the early 1970's. Finally available in the digital domain, all selections newly remastered. [Note: This product is an authorized, licensed CD-R and is manufactured on demand]
