Gary Klein (producer)
Gary Klein (born September 28, 1942 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American songwriter and Grammy nominated record producer. He graduated from Long Island University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music. In the era which included classic rock, country, punk, disco, pop, record producer Gary Klein was well known for working across genres and often crossing over genres such as country music legends Dolly Parton and Glen Campbell with "Here You Come Again" and "Southern Nights," arguably the beginnings of country music being accepted by mainstream pop audiences. From Carrie Underwood to Taylor Swift it would be difficult to imagine their mainstream pop success today without looking back to Parton and Klein’s produced rendition of the Mann/Weill-penned “Here You Come Again.” Until then, like television actors trying to get into movies to capture mainstream success, country music had tried and failed to crossover many times before. Klein’s production of “Here You Come Aga ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It is published weekly by '' Billboard'' magazine and is frequently used to convey the popularity of an artist or groups of artists.

Restless Eyes
''Restless Eyes'', released in 1981, is the twelfth studio album by singer/songwriter Janis Ian, and her last album for Columbia Records, although at the time Ian had a contract with the label for four further albums. At the time of ''Restless Eyes'', Janis Ian had completely disappeared from the United States charts – her previous album ''Night Rains'' had not even dented the '' Billboard'' Top 200 despite a re-release during the summer of 1980 and a big push by Columbia who had originally released it on a glutted US market in September 1979. Nevertheless, her efforts to adopt a highly commercial pop sound plus a new focus on writing film music had gained ''Night Rains'' significant success outside North America. For her new album, Ian teamed up with producer Gary Klein, who had produced several hit albums for Barbra Streisand, and she saw ''Restless Eyes'' as a move back to her folk roots after the pop of ''Night Rains''. The first single, “Under the Covers”, gained pub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Wet (album)
''Wet'' is the twenty-first studio album released by Barbra Streisand in 1979. The album is a concept album of sorts with all the songs referring to, or expressing different interpretations of, water. ''Wet'' is also the first and the last word sung on the album.
