| One of the most successful pop/rock producers of the 1960's, Bob Crewe is primarily known for his work with the Four Seasons, many of whose hits he also had a hand in writing. Crewe also got hits with Diane Renay, Mitch Ryder, Freddy Cannon, Lesley Gore and several others. In 1966 he formed the Bob Crewe Generation and had a huge hit with "Music To Watch Girls By." After three albums the Generation layed dormant until 1976 when he reactivated it for the disco hits "Street Talk" and "Menage A Trois." Both Elektra 12" singles are highly sought-after collector's items. Since then he has had a relatively low profile. 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." |
