Alberts To Represent The Kinks, Ray Charles Publishing Company

Their bumper year continues.

Australian publishing company Alberts have today confirmed that they will represent the main catalogue of international publisher the Kassner Music Group. The company will now represent almost 20,000 songs, including classic songs by Ray Davies of The Kinks, Charles Willis (C.C. Rider) and songs from Ray Charles (after he left Atlantic in 1959).

In a statement released today, Alberts said, “Publishing continues to evolve but at its core is the song, and it was Edward Kassner's ability to pick a great tune that enabled him to establish the company that still bears his name over six decades later.”

This is just the latest development in what has been an exciting year for Alberts. They have recently taken on the publishing for artists such as Josh Pyke, Tim Levinson, Hungry Kids Of Hungary, Oceanics, Harry James Angus and Sam Buckingham signifying a strong commitment to Australian music.
