The Jerry Ross Symposium | es

The Jerry Ross Symposium represented the MOR/Lounge configuration in the career of Jerry Ross, hit producer at Mercury records, and founder of the Heritage and Colossus labels. Along with arranger Claus Ogerman, guitarist Vincent Bell and studio musicians, he created smooth versions of his rock creations "Venus" and "Ma Belle Amie", which were accepted by "Easy Listening" radio stations. The rest of the 1970 album was based on covers of other hits of the day such as "For The Love Of Him" and "Everything Is Beautiful". A 1972 follow-up containing an early version of "Mandy" received lesser attention. .
