'''Shout Records''' is a record company founded by [[songwriter]] and [[record producer]] [[Bert Berns]] in 1966.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Bert Berns was a founding father of the New York Uptown Soul genre, with [[rhythm and blues]] and soul music making up the vast majority of his body of work. Berns experienced enormous success with the establishment of his [[Bang Records]] label in 1965, with pop and rock acts such as [[The McCoys]], [[Neil Diamond]], and [[Van Morrison]] dominating its roster of artists. Looking to return to his original passion for rhythm and blues, Berns established Shout Records as a subsidiary of Bang Records to be an exclusive home for R&B and soul music.<ref>Selvin, Joel.

<br />
Berns had immediate success with [[Freddie Scott]] on Shout, with the single "[[Are You Lonely For Me Baby]]" reaching number one on the R&B charts. A number of artists ranging from [[Jimmy Radcliffe]] to [[The Exciters]] released records on Shout. Berns' final Shout sessions with [[Erma Franklin]] resulted in "[[Piece of My Heart]]", which was rising up the charts when Berns died from heart failure on December 30, 1967.<br />
