His career encompasses notable achievements in both music and television, as well as commendable contributions to public service.

Sherman’s musical journey began with his role as the house singer on the ABC television program Shindig! from 1964 to 1966.

His 1969 hit “Little Woman” sold over a million copies and reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Other popular songs include “Julie, Do Ya Love Me,” “Easy Come, Easy Go,” and “La La La (If I Had You).” Throughout his music career, Sherman released ten albums and over 100 songs, earning multiple gold and platinum records.
