Harvey Averne (born November 22, 1936) is an American record producer, songwriter and musician, probably best known for his Grammy Award-winning collaborations with

Biography
Harvey Averne was the son of Harry Avrutsky, a Russian immigrant from Soviet Georgia. The elder Averne worked as a sewing machine operator in New York’s famed garment center and later Americanized his name to Averne. His mother, Sylvia Rothman Averne was born in the United States of Polish-Jewish ancestry. She was a traditional stay-at-home mother until her kids grew up.

By the time Averne was fourteen he was a professional musician. During the mid 1950s through the 1970s he appeared in hundreds of reviews and shows, at such popular New York venues. In 1963, Averne established Coastal Home Improvement Corporation, recruiting and training a sales force of twenty three. He supervised and sub-contracted all residential construction and dealt directly with the Federal Housing Administration, Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co., Chase Manhattan Bank, Citibank, and Prudential Savings and Loan. Coastal was one of the largest and most successful home remodeling companies in Brooklyn, New York. He retired from that business in 1967, in order to dedicate himself entirely to his first love, Latin music. In 1967 the newly formed Fania record label hired Averne, first as a recording artist and then as a producer. In 1971 an obscure studio band known as The Chakachas recorded the hit single "Jungle Fever", of which Averne was the band leader. This recording sold more than two million copies and won the ASCAP Award as one of the most performed songs of the year in their catalogue. In 1993, the pioneer rapper Big Daddy Kane sampled Averne’s “Lullaby from Rosemary’s Baby” for the track “Rest In Peace” and released it in the Cold Chillin/Warner Bros/Reprise album “Looks Like a Job For….”.
