2014 release in the Ace label's Producers series contains 25 key tracks from the career of record producer, songwriter, publisher, record company owner, film director and all-round music biz mogul Lou Adler, an architect of the California sound and founder of the Dunhill and Ode record labels. The collection spans the 1950 's to the mid-1970 's: From R&B stars Sam Cooke and Johnny Guitar Watson to Stoner Rock comedy duo Cheech & Chong and Sweet Transvestite from the US production of the Rocky Horror Show. Adler, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 as the recipient of the Ahmet Ertegun Award, also produced amongst many others Jan & Dean, the Mamas & the Papas and, most successfully, Carole King, whose Tapestry was the best-selling album of the 1970 's.
