Richard Perry is an American music producer.
Biography
Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1942, Perry began his career in rock music as a local performer during his adolescence. After graduating from the University of Michigan, he shifted into songwriting briefly, collaborating with Kenny Vance, before taking a position with Red Bird Records in 1965. Although Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller sold the label in 1966, Perry was launched on his career as a producer, with early projects including Captain Beefheart's debut Safe as Milk and Fats Domino's Fats Is Back. In 1968, Perry produced God Bless Tiny Tim, the debut album of Reprise Records artist Tiny Tim. The album was Perry's first charting hit, reaching #7 on Billboard magazine's Pop Albums chart.
