GERRY DIEZ BIO
Born and raised in Southern California, Gerry Diez began his association with doo wop music as a youngster in the 1950’s, hanging out at his neighborhood record store, Pal Records in Canoga Park. At 13, he jumped at the chance to take a part time job at the store after school and on weekends, learning the ins and outs of the retail record business and amassing his own collection of favorite vinyl 45’s. In 1960, Gerry became the youngest manager in the single sales department at the store, a job he kept thoughout high school and into his college years at Pierce College and Valley State College (now Cal State University at Northridge) in the San Fernando Valley. He was a radio disc jockey at KBLA-AM Radio, Los Angeles with his own weekend program, “The Memory Makers Show” featuring an oldies format, and then worked as a buyer for a wholesale record distributor, California One Stop, purchasing inventory of 45 rpm singles for juke box accounts. By the 1970’s Gerry was a family man with two children and began his own business as an independent record dealer and consultant. He also became a contributor to record related publications including the “Lengendary Master Series - Rhythm & Blues Vocal Groups - Volumes I & II” from Liberty/ Imperial Records, where he was an author of the liner notes, and “R & B Magazine”, where he reported on recording artist interviews including Arthur Lee Maye, and DJ Hunter Hancock, among others. Today Gerry is known as a major contributor of record values and historical data to the popular "Jeff Kreiter Vocal Group Guide" and the “Rare Record Report”, a quarterly report on the rare record market. He has also served as the Historian of the Los Angeles based Doo Wop Music Hall Of Fame, dedicated to preserving the vocal group sound. Gerry currently deals in the sale and trade of rare, collectible records - singles and albums from the 50’s thru 80's - doo wop, rhythm & blues, rock ‘n roll, and soul, with collectors throughout the U.S., Europe, Australia and Japan.
