	1974 Interview with Bob Crewe--- BobbyDarin.net/BobbyDarin.com
		On February 22, 1974, legendary songwriter/producer/recording star, Bob Crewe was interviewed by Jim Stone of WLNZ radio in Lansing, Michigan.
		Crewe is perhaps best remembered for his extremely successful hits co-written with Bob Gaudio for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, among many other amazing accomplishments and is still going strong today.
		Crewe worked with Bobby in the studio shortly before Bobby's death, producing Bobby's single "Happy" as well as undertaking the bittersweet and sombering task of assembling the Motown tribute LP Darin 1936-1973, which was released shortly after this interview was conducted.

	CMT.com : Bob Crewe : Biography
		Crewe's productions for the Four Seasons (and some of his other artists) always boasted thick but cleanly recorded percussion, sometimes in an almost military cadenced stomp (as on "Walk Like a Man" and "Rag Doll").
		In the late '60s, he was behind another label, Crewe, whose biggest smash was Oliver's ballad "Jean," a considerable distance from the pop/rock with which he was most strongly identified in years past.
		Crewe's glory days passed after the '60s; his most significant achievement, and one which many wouldn't suspect to be his work, was co-writing Labelle's monster soul hit, "Lady Marmalade," in the mid-'70s.

		One of the most successful pop/rock producers of the 1960s, Bob Crewe [+] is primarily known for his work with the Four Seasons [+], many of whose hits he also had a hand in writing.
		The Crewe sound was early rock and roll, diluted through a pop filter for a white teenage market, but with Cannon's hits especially retaining some raucousness.

	Mitch Ryder
		They torched the hometown audience for 90 minutes, Crewe was hooked, and in February, 1965, the five Detroit teenagers relocated to New York City and bided their time for a few months, playing Greenwich Village clubs for survival money.
		Encouraged by Bob Crewe's vision of Mitch Ryder as a solo artist, the Detroit Wheels were summarily fired in 1967, and after releasing, "Joy" with the hard-riffing "I'd Rather Go To Jail", Crewe packed Ryder off to Las Vegas with a big band in tow.
		Crewe had big plans for Mitch Ryder, but the "What Now My Love" album, released in mid-1967, may be the worst piece of overblown dreck ever associated with a major artist.

	Behind The Hits: "Sherry"
		Crewe was wild about the song, but the name became an issue.
		They almost changed it to "Peri", the name of the record label Crewe worked for (Peri was also the name of the label-owner's daughter).
		Subsequently, Crewe left the Peri label, signed the Four Seasons to the Chicago-based VeeJay Records, and financed the recording session of what was now "Sherry." The record made its way to WMCA and was reviewed in a deejay meeting-where songs were picked for airplay.

	Bob Gaudio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bob Gaudio (born November 17, 1942) is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer from the Bronx, New York.
		He shot to musical fame at the age of 15 as a member of the Royal Teens when he wrote the hit "Short Shorts".
		Together with producer Bob Crewe, Gaudio wrote a string of subsequent '60s hits for the Seasons, including "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Walk Like a Man," "Ronnie," "Save It For Me," "Bye Bye Baby" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" (the first big success under Valli's name as a "solo artist").

	THE GLITTERHOUSE - the almost complete recordings 1966 to 1974
		Crewe was so floored by hearing the band at the "Birds of Britain" party that he brought them into the studio for a quick audition taping.
		Bob Crewe had a master plan for the group, "the Glitterhouse", who had been on his payroll for almost a year at the time that their first recordings came out.
		The presence of the Glitterhouse was downplayed on the record and it seemed mostly a showcase for Bob Crewe and Charles Fox.

	Crewe/CGC Album Discography
		It was a relatively short-lived follow-on to the NewVoice/DynoVoice labels that Bob Crewe ran in the mid-1960s.
		The first record issued by the label was a single by the Four Seasons, a group Bob Crewe had produced since their early days with Vee-Jay seven years earlier.
		Later in the 1970s, Crewe recorded as the Bob Crewe Generation and as B.C.G. for 20th Century and Elektra.

		Crewe himself, a veritable rock and roll genius, had made his mark in the business early on with his work at Cameo/Parkway records with The Rays and on the Swan label.
		Bob Crewe, now at Chicago's Vee Jay label, was having some minor success with Tracy Dey and was virtually unstoppable with The Four Seasons.
		Bob moved on, opening Crewe Records with artists such as Oliver and Lesley Gore, whereas Ed stayed on, ushering out the '60s and into the '70s with the "new" Bell Records.

		In the words of Rolling Stone magazine, “Bob Crewe is a pioneering architect of pop music”.
		Bob says, “My work is instinctive, often times driven by chance with found objects”.
		General viewers and collectors alike are intrigued with the enigma of how the paintings are made, while delving through the aesthetics to find the nurturing, elevating core.

	Disco Tex & the Sex-O-Lettes : Disco Tex & His Sex-O-Lettes - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The genius of this recording is two-fold, Bob Crewe keeping a rock and roll sound as the bed for this pseudo disco, and the entire two sides having the same beat, allowing for dance jocks to drop the needle on any portion of this album and get continuous sound.
		Bullens is Bob Crewe's sister-in-law, having married manager Daniel Crewe who represented his brother along with mastering wizard Bob Ludwig.
		Disco was not fully embraced by the rock crowd, understandably so, but Bob Crewe found a way to merge the two worlds, and there's no denying this is a classic of the genre.

	Oliver—Unreleased Liner Notes
		Crewe had seen "Hair" and loved "Good Morning Starshine." One of his DynoVoice artists, Eddie Rambeau, recorded it, but it failed to hit.
		Oliver's soaring vocals and Crewe's intricate arrangement took the song to #3 on Billboard's Hot 100 in the summer of '69.
		Crewe's friendship with Rod McKuen led to Oliver's recording McKuen's theme to "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie." The first single on the producer's new label, modestly called Crewe Records, it did even better than its predecessor, reaching #2 on the Hot 100 and going gold.

	Bob Crewe - Music from the Movies
		Bob Crewe’s main excursion into the world of film was his collaboration on Barbarella.
		However, he is one of those rare talented people that have become highly successful and respected in more than one branch of the arts.
		He also started his own label in 1965, Dyno Voice, which later became Dyno-Vox and issued records not only by Bob Crewe (such as ‘Music to Watch Girls By’), but other artists such as the Toys (such as ‘A Lover’s Concerto’).

		I attended not only my own recording sessions, that Bob wrote most of my songs for, and produced, but all of the Four Seasons, as well as the many other artists that Bob wrote material for and produced.
		Bob wrote many songs even before he was a well known record producer.
		I believe one of the songs he wrote before his rise to hit maker was "Silhouettes." I sat many hours in his home, watching him create at the piano with Bob Gaudio, when they would write songs and Bob would talk about the feel and sound he wanted to create.

		Following this phase, Crewe moved out again on his own to form The Bob Crewe Generation ("Music to Watch Girls By"), utilizing studio musicians and original material for instrumental music collections.
		During the mid-sixties, Bob Crewe turned discoverer, locating a band known as Billy Lee and The Rivieras, which he later re-named, Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels, a major success on the charts with such Crewe-arranged smashes as "Jenny Take a Ride," "Devil With the Blue Dress On" and "Sock It to Me Baby."
		As the '60s were coming to a close, Crewe had also established his own recording firm, Crewe Records, which owned hits by Oliver and Lesley Gore, among others.

		By this time, the Four Seasons had signed a deal with producer was Bob Crewe, a singer-turned-songwriter/producer who worked with acts like Bobby Darin, Freddy Cannon, and Danny and the Juniors.
		But in the end, Crewe rejected both of those ideas, and eventually settled on "Cheri", after radio station WMCA disc jockey Jack Spector's daughter, Cheri.
		Subsequently, Crewe left the Peri label, signed the Four Seasons to the Chicago-based VeeJay Records, and financed the recording session of what was now "Sherry".

		The futuristic settings, the fabulous costumes and the groovy soundtrack all combine to give a stunning effect that could only have been produced in the Sixties.
		Bob Crewe and Charles Fox joined forces to produce a wonderful, fun, psychedelic score, which has a wealth of sounds of the period, yet strangely timeless in appeal.
		Barbarella must rank high among the most wanted scores not previously available on CD and this brilliant release is bound to be on top of many shopping lists.

	DynoVoice Album Discography
		The DynoVoice and NewVoice labels were formed by Bob Crewe in New York City in 1965.
		In late 1966, "the man himself," Bob Crewe, hit with an instrumental called "Music to Watch Girls By," which reached #15 nationally and spawned an album of the same name.
		Both Mitch Ryder and Bob Crewe issued albums on the new DynoVoice, as did the groups Glitterhouse, Good Earth Trio, and Bermuda Jam, but by 1969, Crewe abandoned the DynoVoice name in favor of his own, and started the "Crewe Group of Companies", or CGC, of which the Crewe Label was a part.

	Everything Under the Sun - Tina Turner
		Pete was there in Bob's office that day in 1966 when the call came in from Phil Spector requesting the 4 Seasons' guru produce Ike & Tina for Philles.
		Wearing his publisher's hat, Bob Crewe was successful in getting several Saturday Music songs cut in England by the Walker Brothers, among them were "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore", the Peter Antell-authored "Baby, You Don't Have To Tell Me" and, of course, "EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN".
		The Bell acetate has more echo on the vocal, but the real giveaway is when the last chorus enters after the break at 3:29 - on the ARS acetate you can hear Tina start to go into another section, and those two words are not on the Bell acetate.

	'Lady Marmalade' - Chart History 2
		But Crewe was a songwriter long before he penned his hits like 'Walk Like A Man,' and 'Rag Doll.' His first Top 10 hit was 'Silhouettes' by The Rays on Cameo.
		That gives Crewe an amazing career of Top 10 hits spanning 43 years, six months, and five weeks.
		It's Nolan's longest-running #1, and it ties Crewe's composition 'Big Girls Don't Cry,' which was a five-week chart-topper for the Four Seasons in 1962.

		In 1961 the group changed their named to The Four Seasons after a bowling alley in Union, New Jersey where they were turned down for a cocktail-lounge job.
		In 1962, with the help of writer-producer Bob Crewe, the group signed a recording contract with Vee Jay Records--becoming the label's first white act--their star rose so high that they became virtually untouchable by the competition.

	Sound Space: Science Fiction Audio Reviews
		The "bonus tracks" are equally appealing, supplying enjoyable lounge-lizard versions of such numbers as "I Love All the Love in You" and reminding potential viewers, through the breathless radio ads, that they can see the lovely Barbarella "do her thing in a motion picture that makes science fiction something else!"
		Some of the tunes are slightly flawed, especially the at-times overpowering bass line on "The Sex Machine" and the muffed trumpet parts on "The Destruction of SoGo," but essentially the compositions, performed by The Bob Crewe Generation Orchestra, are solid and appropriately swanky.
		Despite the fact that the band Duran Duran has probably made the movie's main villain more famous than the actual film, most SF buffs, along with devotees of old-fashioned mod melodies, should savor the Barbarella soundtrack and the tuneful trip down memory lane it provides.

		Webber on guitar, Bob Raymond on bass, and Bob MacVittie on drums, the group chalked up another Top Ten winner in "Don't Call Us, We'll Call you," as well as "Tongue-In-Cheek," and favorites "Bach Doors Man/Chest Fever," "Easy Evil," "Wild Child," and more.
		At the same time, with Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio, Jerry co-produced the Frankie Valli hit album, "Heaven Above Me," and then joined Valli with the 4 Seasons on a concert tour as keyboardist/vocalist.
		During this period, Jerry collaborated once again with Bob Crewe in writing a huge hit for Roberta Flack and Peabo Bryson, "You're Feelin' Like Love To Me." He also co-wrote the hit song for Englebert Humperdink, "After You."

		A few jokes are unnecessarily gross, and the balance in general between music and drama feels uneasy until Bob Gaudio (Daniel Reichard) comes on the scene, revealing unexpected business savvy and defying DeVito's arrogant, inept leadership.
		Once producer Bob Crewe (Peter Gregus) recognizes the group's potential, they hit No. 1, and Crewe is ignominiously bumped to the background.
		This plot choice is astonishing, since Crewe was co-writer with Gaudio on many Four Seasons smashes, and his contribution is virtually ignored.
