Congratulations SUNNY producer Jerry Ross


Jerry Ross Inducted October 24 to the PHILADELPHIA MUSIC ALLIANCE WALK OF FAME!



SUNNY producer JERRY ROSS to be inducted on Thursday to the Philadelphia Music Alliance Walk of Fame


Oct. 22--WHEN Jerry Ross is inducted into the Philadelphia Music Alliance Walk of Fame on Thursday, he tells me, his mind will be on the stars. Not the stars whose music he has produced over a long career -- Jay & the Techniques, Spanky & Our Gang, Jerry Butler, Dee Dee Warwick, the Duprees, the Dreamlovers, the Sapphires -- but an astronaut named Jerry Ross (no relation). But more on that later.


"Venus" wasn't his biggest hit. As a songwriter, it was "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me." As a producer, it was Bobby Hebb's "Sunny," which boasts 560 cover versions. It is No. 25 on BMI's top songs of the 20th century.

As he moved up in the recording industry, his titles eventually included A&R (artists & repertoire) director for Mercury Records, and Motown vice president for new talent.
