		Bert Berns was one of the great rock and soul songwriters of the 1960s, as well as being a producer of note.
		When writing and producing for soul artists, Berns was notable for his ability to combine the best of pop and R&B. As with the compositions of his sometimes writing partner Jerry Ragovoy, there was an earthy gospel and down-home soul feel that was surprising coming from the pen of a white New Yorker.
		Berns, however, was more pop savvy than Ragovoy, as can be most audibly heard in his productions for the Drifters, which often backed the vocal group with smooth yet inventive strings (as on "Under the Boardwalk").

		If you think you've not heard of Bert Berns, you've certainly heard his work – from the Beatles' (and Isley Brothers') hit "Twist and Shout" to Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart," to "Hang on Sloopy" and "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love," Berns was one of the great unknown songwriters of the 1960s.
		Which isn't to knock Leiber-Stoller, but Berns was certainly their equal – and though he passed in 1967, his memory surely deserves the boost this excellent new compilation should provide.
		Berns worked with a lot of soul and RandB artists as a producer and arranger as well as composer, and so it seems appropriate that the versions of some of his best-known songs are the original ones sung by those artists.

		As a child, Bert Berns--a major force at Atlantic Records in the '60s--contracted rheumatic fever, which weakened his heart but not his resolve.
		Berns, of the Leiber and Stoller school of catchy RandB, grew up in a tough New York neighborhood where he was heavily influenced by the musical tastes of his fl, Puerto Rican and Cuban neighbors.
		Berns died in 1967 at age 38, but not before writing and producing some of the best soul music of his time.

		Berns, a legendary New York record man, was 38 when he died in 1967.
		Collections honoring such a figure usually come in boxes; ignoring Berns' pop hits with Van Morrison and the McCoys, this is a single disc of nine deep-soul numbers that Berns wrote and produced, plus one misguided homage.
		You hear strange, astonishingly delicate bits of instrumentation -- guitar triplets, a hesitating piano, room to breathe all through the arrangements -- that produce the feeling that the great voices Berns recorded were not quite of this earth.

		The first time I heard Bert Berns and Jerry Ragovoy's "Piece of My Heart" was on Cheap Thrills, the 1968 album by Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin.
		That journey led, among many places, to a lot of music that Berns had a hand in creating, much of which you'll find on this absolutely essential collection.
		There are so many Berns tunes that could be here (Ben E. King's "Stand by Me," for instance, or the Drifters' "Under the Boardwalk"), but the only really surprising omission – a case of bad blood, apparently – is one of Berns's most famous tunes, "Brown Eyed Girl," the huge hit by Van Morrison.

		He may well have been the best vocalist Bert Berns ever worked with, his version of "Baby Come On Home" on Atlantic being a very tough record to beat, if you care for gut-wrenching, gospel-drenched uptown soul, which I do.

		When Berns died of heart failure in 1967, at age 38, he had already cemented a legacy few songwriters or artists would equal, let alone surpass.
