Richard Kerr - 7 inch Singles 66-73 w From Now Until Then CD 73 w Reflections Of LP 74 w Somewhere In The Night CD 76 w Welcome To The Club CD 78 w Songwriter 2LP 80 w No Looking Back LP 82


 You can read above for details for this anonymous request who helped with my expenses for the 3 vinyl I added to his CD files.  The Songwriter double album I got has some great songs he wrote that I'm sure you haven't heard and I haven't had time to listen to the CD files.  Enjoy!  I must mention this showtune album is on the EPIC label which looks modern but it truly is that for me a “keeper” because of Cole’s tune it delightful it its DELOVELy oooh you know the one kiddo!

Richard Kerr passed on December 11, 2023....R.I.P.

What!!!! I Have Been Looking for His "Songwriter" and "Reflections Of" Albums for Awhile, I already his other few, Not this one, He's very talented! wrote the music to the original Scott English tune "Brandy" which after Clive David heard it, Forced Manilow to record it, Became "Mandy" and It Made Barry a Star, And how did Richard find out? Years after Scott's version came out, Richard had gone off to L.A. and was sitting outside of his publisher's office and he had heard this record coming from the walls and it took Richard about a minute to realize it was 'Brandy" And he couldn't hear the title change at the time and when he walked in he was like "What was that song?" and he said "That was the new Record that Clive Davis has with Barry Manilow" And Richard never heard of Barry Manilow at the time cause this was before he became big! The title was change from "Brandy" to "Mandy" by Clive Davis because of the Looking Glass song "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl") without any nod towards Scott and Richard, they didn't know and Richard was furious, you don't just change the title without asking the writer, until it shot up the charts, Richard Was Happy (I'm not into Clive Davis much, to be honest, except for Ray Parker Jr. and Alicia Keys) Richard also wrote the music to "Somewhere Down the Road" which was cut by Helen Reddy, Bardorf & Rodney and then Manilow made it into a hit! "Looks Like We Made It" also for Manilow, Richard did the original version of "I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again" then it was cut by Cheryl Ladd, never went anywhere, Cherill Rae Yates cut it, didn't go anywhere, Then (I Think) Clive Davis heard the track, wanted Manilow to record it, Manilow thought of it as a female song, gave it to Dionne Warwick and Manilow even produced it and made it into a hit! Thank you for posting this, thank you!! Here's Scott English (The "Brandy" guy's) album, you might enjoy it

ClassicMusic20 hey thanks for the extensive info once again! I knew you'd like this one as I did hearing it the first time last weekend. Letting you know I have already ripped the Pets one so will renew the link for next week unless you need it sooner. Don't let those huge hit earvurms stick in your head on endless loop with Kerr! Ha Ha

Sure, you can put up Pets today, that'll make my friend happy! By the Way, Allee also had this album out (done by the same company that did the Richard Kerr Songwriter album) I'm not too fond of the price though, this one can be your choice though if you want to get it? Cheers! I'll keep my promise with the Scott English stuff, so hang on tight

Wow thanks Classic! As I've mentioned before I am off grid at home except for cell phone and just got to work and read your Pet request so will try for it Friday as it sits in my waterproof, fireproof safe at home in a hard drive. I will put the FLAC into my 'goes with WAV's" folder so I can add it on next repost. I got all your recent request like above...should be able to correct an annular fuzzy sound to make the media VG into VG+ or M

Here ya go Classic--the Pets link for your friend. I didn't repost the whole post as I didn't want to steal Teena Marie's top spot for exposure--she could use more name recognition. R.I.P.

Thanks! It's Sad What happened to Teena Marie and I Heard They Couldn't Find Her Cause of Death, But She Was Suffering Seizures Towards the End of Her Life After a Large Picture Frame from a Hotel Room Fell and Struck Her Head in her sleep, I Didn't Find Out She Died Till About Several Days Days Later in the New Year of 2011 When My Mom Told Me Me.

I Just Found Out He Passed in December and Guess What the Cause Is? Nothing to See Here (As Most People Are Dying Of, If You Hadn't Notice) And There's a Video of Him on Youtube of Him Singing Live That Was Recorded Just 1 Day Before His Passing.
