Gerald Lincoln "Gerry" Bron (1 March 1933 – 18 June 2012)[1] was an English record producer and band manager.
Bron also began managing acts, including Gene Pitney, The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band,[6] Marianne Faithfull, Manfred Mann, Colosseum, Osibisa,[7] and Uriah Heep.
In 1971, after having produced Uriah Heep's album ...Very 'Eavy ...Very 'Umble at Lansdowne Studios in London, Bron founded Bronze Records, an independent record label[8] which could serve as the band's label for future releases.
The label would become home to many of the bands Bron was managing and more, including Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Osibisa, Paladin, The Real Kids, Sally Oldfield, Motörhead, The Damned, Girlschool, Bronz and Hawkwind.
[9] In the mid-1970s, Bron's record label issued an album by Gene Pitney, along with a single, "Blue Angel", which became a hit in the UK and Australia.
