Post (208) ERNIE FREEMAN THE MUSIC PRODUCER from November 7 2008
I started hanging out at the Musician's Union when I didn't have anything else to do, though I was busy - so busy! - in those years. Ernie was an African-American pianist arranger who "Made The Strings Jump." (He also produced but was rarely credited for it.)
Like many other musicians who worked in the studio playing first, Ernie had a lot of studio recording experience before he started arranging.
The Musician's Union was a great place to meet accomplished musicians, singers, arrangers, producers, and songwriters and network.
Linked at the title: Here's the Rockin' Country Style discography for Ernie Freeman, who in 1962 was the arranger for the Buddy Knox album that made it Gold, with the song "All By Myself" on it that Buddy and I wrote.
Here's a link to great information on Ernie's career as an album maker that has a picture of him.
