Bergen White
This quote was submitted on Monday 24 January 2022.
‘I became extremely busy in the late 1960s through to the 1980s, and worked with just about every artist at one time or another.
I worked with Gene, either as a background vocalist or as an arranger.
In my opinion, he is one of the finest male singers in the business ever.
I’m reminded daily of artists that I’ve worked with, and Gene Watson is one that I certainly worked with!’
Thank you, Bergen White, for your support of Gene Watson.
About Bergen White…
Bergen White was born Dee Bergen White in Miami, Oklahoma on Tuesday 18 July 1939.
Bergen White is a long-time arranger, producer, conductor, musician, composer and singer, who is based in Nashville.
Bergen White was the son of a Baptist minister, who regularly moved his family from city to city throughout the southern half of the United States. The White family finally settled in Nashville when Bergen White was fourteen years old. It was while Bergen White was in Nashville that he befriended fellow music fans, Bobby Russell and Buzz Cason, with whom he later recorded a single credited to The Todds.
After college, Bergen White taught maths and science for two years before Bobby Russell persuaded him to resume their musical collaboration, this time as staff vocalists with Bill Beasley’s label Hit Records, an imprint famous for cutting carbon-copy recordings of chart hit singles which were commonly sold in supermarkets and priced to move.
Hit Records not only offered Bergen White an opportunity to hone his vocal skills, but he was also allowed to compose original material for release via the B-sides of the Hit Records singles.
In time, Bergen White was taken under the wing of Nashville producer, Bill Justis, and offered the chance to begin arranging recording sessions. Bergen White also joined the Bill Justis-sponsored hot rod group, Ronny & The Daytonas, as a vocalist, who were best known for their pop smash single, ‘G.T.O.’; the band’s ranks later included Bergen White’s old schoolmate, Buzz Cason as well.
With a growing number of session dates now under his belt, Bergen White signed to Monument Records in 1967 to record his first solo single, ‘If It’s Not Asking Too Much’ (written by Bergen White) (arranged by Charlie McCoy), an exquisitely melancholy slice of string-sweetened pop; the record earned little commercial attention, and its creator resumed his work behind the scenes.
In 1969, Bergen White agreed to record a full-length album for SSS International Records, a record label, which was owned by Shelby Singleton (Wednesday 16 December 1931 – Wednesday 7 October 2009), enlisting the assistance of noted session guitarist and engineer, Wayne Moss, owner of Nashville’s legendary Cinderella Studio.
In 1970, Bergen White saw the release of ‘For Women Only’ (SSS International Records, 1970), which included the following tracks:
‘She Is Today’ (written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil)
‘It’s Your Time’ (written by Bergen White)
‘Let Me Stay Awhile’, which was written by Mickey Newbury (Sunday 19 May 1940 – Sunday 29 September 2002)
‘Look At Me’ (written by David Gates)
‘Lisa Was’ (written by Barry Mann)
‘Hurt So Bad’, which was written by Bobby Weinstein, Robert Harsman and Teddy Randazzo (Monday 13 May 1935 – Friday 21 November 2003)
‘On & On’ (written by Bergen White)
‘Gone Again’ (written by David Gates)
‘Second Lover’s Song’, which was written by Townes Van Zandt (Tuesday 7 March 1944 – Wednesday 1 January 1997) / the original version of this track was recorded by Townes Van Zandt, who included it on ‘Our Mother The Mountain’ (16th Avenue Records, 1969)
‘The Bird Song’ (written by Bergen White and Wayne Moss)
‘Now’ (written by Bergen White and Bob Tubert)
‘It’s Over Now’ (written by Bergen White and Wayne Moss) / this track was released as a single in 1970, but it did not chart
Personnel involved in the recording of Bergen White’s ‘For Women Only’ (SSS International Records, 1970) included the following:
Norbert Putnam (bass)
Kenny Buttrey and Tommy Amato (drums)
Mac Gayden (guitar)
Charlie McCoy (guitar, bass)

Wayne Moss (producer, engineer, guitar, bass)
Following the release of ‘Spread The Word’, a Gospel-influenced, non-LP single, which was written by Dennis Linde (Thursday 18 March 1943 – Friday 22 December 2006), SSS International Records terminated Bergen White’s recording contract.
Although his recording career had faltered, Bergen White’s session career was reaching critical mass. Bergen White’s work on ‘Polk Salad Annie’, a Billboard Top 10 pop music hit single for Tony Joe White (Friday 23 July 1943 – Wednesday 24 October 2018), brought him to the attention of no less than Elvis Presley (Tuesday 8 January 1935 – Tuesday 16 August 1977), who wanted Bergen White to arrange a version of the song for him to perform in his Las Vegas show.
Elvis Presley (Tuesday 8 January 1935 – Tuesday 16 August 1977) recorded Tony Joe White’s ‘Polk Salad Annie’ and included the track on ‘Elvis Presley On Stage’ (RCA Records, 1970); Elvis Presley’s version of the track reached No.23 on the United Kingdom Singles Chart in 1973, and No.16 on The Netherlands pop music singles chart in 1973.
Bergen White went on to arrange several Elvis Presley (Tuesday 8 January 1935 – Tuesday 16 August 1977) sessions in the years to follow, on occasion contributing backing vocals as a substitute Jordanaire.
Bergen White undertook the horn arrangements, on all tracks, on Elvis Presley’s ‘Elvis Country (I’m 10,000 Years Old)’ (RCA Records, 1971).
In 1975, Bergen White signed to the Private Stock record label, and saw the release of a cover of The Del Vikings classic, ‘Come Go With Me’, which was written by Clarence E. Quick (Tuesday 2 February 1937 – Thursday 5 May 1983), and was soon followed by the David Gates-penned ‘Have You Taken A Good Look Lately’.
Bergen White’s third effort for Private Stock Records, a rendition of the Gene Chandler perennial, ‘Duke of Earl’, began to accrue some commercial momentum, but touring behind the single would have forced Bergen White to turn down some studio projects. When Bergen White balked at hitting the road, Private Stock cut its promotional funding and, for all intents and purposes, Bergen White’s pop music career was over.
Bergen White undertook the string arrangements on four tracks (‘Too Late To Worry, Too Blue To Cry’, ‘(I’d Be) A Legend In My Time’, ‘I’ll Leave This World Loving You’ and ‘I Honestly Love You’) on Ronnie Milsap‘s ‘A Legend In My Time’ (RCA Records, 1975).
