Some Kinda Magic: Songs Of Jerry Ross / Various

Ace's Songwriter Series brings you a valuable entry this month with a volume devoted to the songs of Philadelphia writer/producer/musician/A&R man Jerry Ross. An important figure in American popular music since the early 60s, Ross discovered, collaborated with and/or produced some of the most important names and records of the 1960s - from Jerry Butler to Bobby Hebb to Keith of '98. 6' fame to Gamble & Huff and beyond. He also found time to write or co-write some of the most enduring anthems of the decade along the way.
