HENRY GLOVER

Born 21 May 1921, Hot Springs, Arkansas
Died 7 April 1991, St. Albans, New York

Producer / arranger / songwriter.
Henry Glover is one of the great unknown behind-the-scenes men in the
music business whose legacy, begun early in the history of popular music,
continues to this day.
Radio stations KTHS in Hot Springs and KLRA in Little Rock exposed
young Henry to country music and influenced an eclectic taste that
transferred to the variety of artists he would produce - from early country
artists like Hawkshaw Hawkins, Grandpa Jones, Cowboy Copas, the
Delmore Brothers and Moon Mullican to R&B artists like Wynonie Harris,
Hank Ballard & the Midnighters, Otis Williams and the Charms and Joey
Dee & the Starlighters to The Last Waltz soundtrack.
The 1975 Grammy-winner "The Muddy Waters Woodstock Album" was
produced by Glover, many years after producing such hits as Little Willie
John's "Fever," Wayne Raney's "Why Don't You Haul Off and Love Me,"
and Bill Doggett"s "Honky Tonk." As a musician, he worked with Thelonious
Monk, Lucky Millinder and Bullmoose Jackson, among countless others,
and briefly had his own label, Glover Records, and was partners with Levon
Helm in RCO Records.
In his working life, Glover was primarily an arranger and producer, but
might be most recognizable to the public as a songwriter. Many may not know
the Glover name, but most know the songs: "Drown In My Own Tears,"
"California Sun," "The Peppermint Twist," "Teardrops On Your Letter," "Blues
Stay Away From Me," and many other hits, some under his pseudonym, Henry
Bernard.
