In the annals of soul music history, singer/songwriter/producer/entrepreneur/publisher/label owner George Kerr will always be considered an instrumental figure in the music's development. After a stint as a replacement for Little Anthony with the Imperials, Kerr became a member of the Serenaders, a New York based group. After an audition with Berry Gordy, he relocated for a brief time to Detroit where he honed his skills as a songwriter and producer. Pairing a singer with a song had always been one of George's great talents. A case in point would be Linda Jones and the song "Hypnotized" that became a huge hit in the mid-1960's - or being the first producer to record a soul group (The Escorts) behind bars (all the members were in prison). Fearless and adventurous, Kerr has remained a vital figure in soul music, particularly in New Jersey (his home turf) with successes in every decade since he started out. In 1971, George released "If This World Were Mine" - a solo EP containing four strong songs, including the title track. For this remastered release, an additional four songs from the same period have been added as a bonus.
