From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jerry Keller (born 20 June 1937, in Fort Smith, Arkansas) is a pop singer and songwriter.

[edit] Brief career

His biggest hit was 1959's "Here Comes Summer". The record reached number one in the UK the same year, but lack of further chart appearances there, branded Jerry Keller as a one hit wonder.

Jerry Keller went on to be a number one call vocalist for TV jingles throughout the 1970s and 1980s. He also had cameo role as the orchestra music director in "You Light Up My Life", a 1977 romantic comedy/drama film, directed and written by Joseph Brooks.

[edit] Trivia

Keller's great success story - the song "Here Comes Summer" - showed a delicious piece of timing by reaching the number one spot in the UK in the Autumn of 1959.
