McCartney Times

Paul McCartney, Solomon Burke and others remember the greatness of the hit-making music-biz character in a new doc by Berns’ son.Connoisseurs of documentaries about the Golden Age of the music business may feel they’ve heard this one before: Jewish kid, born in the ’20s to outer-borough New Yorkers; gets a crippling disease and shouldn’t live past high school; survives to be the unsung genius behind countless hits you know by heart. Bang! The Bert Berns Story has much in common with 2012’s A.K.A. Doc Pomus and, even if it’s a bit less polished, will be received just as warmly by music lovers, especially those with a nose for the lore of ’60s powerhouse Atlantic Records.
