George Kerr

Words of Love 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. Over the years, the busy Mr. Kerr would find time to make his own solo albums which always reflected his love for great soul music. A case in point would be 1992's "Words of Love," presented here newly remastered and finally available in the digital domain.
