Charles Calello is a record producer, music arranger and composer and is presentlyone of the most sought after talents in the music industry. He was born in New Jersey, theson of a professional trumpet player, who started him in music with an accordian at theage of nine. At thirteen he was also playing string base and trumpet and by fifteen wasworking clubs.

Later, while attending the Manhattan School of Music, Charlie met and became friendlywith Frankie Valli , who, in turn, introduced him to producer Bob Crewe. At age twenty-threehe had arranged his first number one record and was then involved with most of the FourSeason's hits thereafter.

Charlie worked extensively with the Crewe organization and arranged "A Lover's Concerto"for Toys and "Good Morning Starshine" for Oliver. He then decided to try producing and amonghis first efforts were "The Name Game" for Shirley Ellis, "The Mouse" for Soupy Sales and amajor hit, "Lightning Strikes" for Lou Christie. His greatest personal achievement was co-production of the classic Laura Nyro album "Eli and the 13 Confessions".

He also worked with Eric Carmen on"All By Myself" and "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again" and Glen Campbell on "Southern Nights".As if this wasn't enough, Charlie has just finished the new Paul Anka album and is workingon albums for Sinatra and Streisand.
