I heard that his ten song set got the only standing ovation at woodstock. I first saw him on youtube, looking for soul-sacrifice. The link looked like a beautiful hippie "woman," so I clicked it. I was blown away. His voice was so beautiful, but was obviously backed up by an even more beautiful soul. I am now a fan in a big way.

Those times of simplicity, optimism, and innocence are definitely a dream that has vanished.. We saw a much brighter world upon the horizon...the light of knowledge and truth permeating the lies and deception about the war, the body bags, burning cities, the authoritarian state and police brutality, the cold war, and kids getting shot down...not to mention the deep generational divide, rampant drug culture, sexual promiscuity, etc..We are now capitalized and sold to the highest bidderl

@ruithael Same here!!! :) First song i heard was Jennifer and I immediately fell in love with him

I just stumbled on this clip today, so I looked up "Bert Sommer" on iTunes, and guess what: Capitol Records has apparently seen fit to release THIS album (with this song "Destiny") for download. (No other albums, though, at least not yet.)

FOR ME THE FOLKISH BERTof jennifer was better this is too barrymanilowish for me.
beside thanks to post those rarietes i wonder why also bert was never succesful..or i men really succes....he's got a great voice, nice songs etc....who knows?
beside is defintly a cult figure

Bert was my friend and lost track after his drugs out of hand.... wish we knew what happened in his life. it is true... he was sweet and gentle. I am glad to hear people like him now.

@pjswan98 I'd happily transfer all of his remaining albums to CD, if I could only get my hands on any of his albums in the first place! :-(
