Description
A much sought after album!
A prolific songwriter in his own right (over fifty of his songs have been recorded), Averne wrote most of the material for his newly formed group "The Harvey Averne Dozen". Their album "Viva Soul", for Atlantic Records included the top selling hit "My Dream" as well as the often recorded and sampled "You're No Good", both of which are Averne-Sheller compositions. A second album for the Fania label, the self-titled "Harvey Averne Dozen" included Averne compositions "Accept Me", "Can You Dig It" and the international dance hit "Never Learned to Dance". It also included the movie theme "Lullaby from Rosemary's Baby" (Harvey's recording was subsequently sampled by Big Daddy Kane on his track "Rest In Peace"). He changed the name of the group to "The Harvey Averne Band" for the Fania release "Brotherhood" (1970). This album included various Latin crossover hits such as "Lovers", "Come Back Baby", "Come On And Do Me" and the pop hit "Central Park". Around this time he began reinvesting his songwriting success into producing, and after years of hard work as a musician he was able to make the transition. Wikipedia
