George Kerr - If This World Were Mine - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In the annals of soul music history, singer/songwriter/producer/entrepreneur/ /tag 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 InchHypnotizedInch 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 his own album, InchThe Other Side of George KerrInch - which remains one of the great overlooked soul albums of the early 1970's. Finally available in the digital domain, all selections newly remastered. Album Tracks 1. Three Minutes to Hey Girl 2. Tweedly Dum Dum 3. Hey, George, the Masquerade Is Over 4. My Way 5. My Memories of Marie 6. I'm So Glad You Stayed 7. Telling the Truth
