Timeline
Kerry Michael Chater (August 7, 1945 – February 4, 2022) was a Canadian musician and songwriter who was best known as a member of Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, but he was a successful Nashville songwriter for many years.
Chater was born on August 7, 1945, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
A bass player, in the mid-'60s he joined a band called The Progressives with Doug Ingle (keyboards), Gary 'Mutha' Whitem (sax) and Danny Weis (guitar).
The Progressives eventually became part of Jeri and the Jeritones and then Palace Pages by 1965, after Jeri married Kerry.
By 1966, Ingle, and Weis went off to form Iron Butterfly and Chater and Whitem joined The Outcasts with their friend Gary Puckett and others; this eventually became The Union Gap, which was signed by Columbia Records in 1967.
Over the next two years the band had four songs in the top 10.
Chater did much of the arranging for the live shows, wrote or co-wrote some of the album cuts and b-sides, and on rare occasions did a shared lead vocal.
Chater and Gary "Mutha" Withem, the original keyboardist, left the band in 1970 as its popularity was declining.
Chater spent the next five years studying musical theater with Lehman Engel.
Chater released two solo albums in the late 1970s: Part Time Love (1977) and Love on a Shoestring (1978); neither charted.
With veteran songwriter Charlie Black, Chater wrote "I Know a Heartache When I See One", which reached number 19 on the US and number 10 on the US country chart in 1979 for Jennifer Warnes.
Chater has also written hits with Glen Ballard and Rory Bourke ("You Look So Good in Love"), singer Renee Armand ("What She Wants"), and his wife, Lynn Gillespie Chater ("I Meant to Do That", with Paul Brandt).
The song "I.O.U.", co-written with Austin Roberts, was a nominee for the 1984 Grammy Award for Best Country Song.
Lee Greenwood's performance of the song won him the Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.
Chater was married to Lynn Gillespie-Chater, songwriter and co-author of their novel series "Kill Point".
Son Kerry Chater Jr. is a guitarist, and son Christopher John Chater is a science fiction author.
He died in Nashville, Tennessee, on February 4, 2022, at the age of 76.
