Album Description
2008 addition to Ace Records' Producer Series saluting the work of a man who sang, wrote and/or produced some of the greatest Rock and Soul music of the '60s. During what was a relatively short career, tragically ended by a heart attack on New Year's Eve 1967, Berns created the original versions of such perennials as 'Twist And Shout', 'Hang On Sloopy', 'Piece Of My Heart', 'Brown Eyed Girl', 'Here Comes The Night' and numerous other Hall Of Fame hits. So many important records bear the Berns imprint in some way that it's not possible to fit the best of them on just one CD. This first volume covers 1960-64 and is released to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Bert's untimely death. 26 tracks including cuts from Austin Taylor, Solomon Burke, Ben E. King, The Drifters, Lulu and many others.
