Richard Stanley Becker is an American music publisher[1] who gave rise to major innovations within the recording industry, most notably with The Beatles (Anna Go To Him) and The Rolling Stones (You Better Move On).
His work with The Beatles on "Anna (Go To Him)" and The Rolling Stones ("You Better Move On") not only brought forward the Muscle Shoals Sound for the first time, but also produced the first crossover hit from R&B to pop.
This team initially included Alex Bradford, on a production commissioned by the Italian government for Gian-Carlo Menotti's Two Worlds Festival held in Spoleto, Italy, entitled "Black Nativity".
[citation needed] Your Arms gave rise to Tony Award-nominated Performances (Al Green), reinvigorated the career of Patti LaBelle, and showcased the professional debut of Jennifer Holiday.
Some examples are his inclusion for his popular records (including Pat Boone and The Beatles) in Collier's and the Encyclopædia Britannica.
