MUSIC I PRODUCED
Here’s a sampling of some of the records I produced with my production partner Bill Stahl (Ultra-Sonic Productions).
Gary Toms Empire
A trendsetting single in the disco days that popularized whistles in discos. Sold over 500,000 copies and went to #1 on the Disco charts, #3 on the R&B charts and in the 40’s on the TOP 40 chart in Billboard. The first of 6 consecutive charting records by Gary & the group.
Gary Toms Empire
Their second single, and also a hit. A disco remake of the classic Beatles song.
Gary Toms Empire
Another disco charted record, called by some reviewers an overlooked classic of the era. I was one of the co-writers, with Gary and Bill.
Gary Toms Empire
Written by Gary, this record charted, but it’s larger claim to fame is that it was the bed of a Coke TV commercial for over 5 years.
Gary Toms Empire
Even though this wasn’t as big as some of the other tracks we did with Gary, it is one of my favorite productions. The song was actually about Haarlem in the Netherlands, but we adapted it to be about Harlem, New York, USA.
Jay Silver Band
Originally recorded by The Toppers in 1954, this remake came out on Sox Records and started blasting up the college radio charts. Sox then sold the master to Columbia Records, who let it die.
Moonlion
I wrote this and a group of friends played on the session.

This was a Christmas disco hit and was used for two years by the NFL as the background music in all their football game broadcasts around Christmastime.
Moonlion
A minor disco hit
Bobby Rydell
Bill and I produced Bobby’s comeback during the disco era.
Bobby Rydell
This is our version of a Billy Joel album track.
Bobby Rydell
Our first single with Bobby.
Liquid Pleasure
Written by friend Carl Wurzbach, this never achieved the success I thought it should have gotten. I love this production.
Liquid Pleasure
Another good production with this group.
