==Background==
Bert Berns is a vastly influential figure in the history of American music, yet his extraordinary impact went widely unknown.〔Gordon, Robert. ("Hit Man" ) The New York Times, 30 May 2014〕 ''Rolling Stone'' called Berns "one of the great untold stories of rock and roll."〔Selvin, Joel. ''Here Comes the Night: The Dark Soul of Bert Berns and the Dirty Business of Rhythm and Blues.'' Counterpoint Press, 2014, p.2〕 He is responsible for some of the most enduring classics of sixties pop and R&B, and has been credited with bringing Latin rhythms into rock and roll and the creation of New York Uptown Soul.〔Olsen, Eric. ("New Bert Berns Collection" ) BlogCritics, 20 September 2002〕 Berns died in 1967 at the young age of 38 due to a rheumatic heart condition, and his children Brett Berns and Cassandra Berns conceived of the musical as part of a concerted effort to champion his legacy.〔Evans, Suzy. ("First Look at 'Piece of My Heart: The Bert Berns Story'" ) The Hollywood Reporter, 13 June 2014〕 With his autobiographical body of work and dramatic life story, the musical's creators used Berns' canon to tell his story through his own songs.〔Haun, Harry. ("From "Tell Him" to "Twist and Shout": Piece of My Heart Looks at the Man Behind the Music" ) Playbill.com, 06 July 2014〕〔Rohter, Larry. ("Many Hit Wonder, Out of Obscurity" ) The New York Times, 16 July 2014〕
''Piece of My Heart'' follows the story of Berns' rise in the music business, and his daughter's search for the father she never knew. Berns died from heart failure when his daughter was an infant, and she comes to know him through his music over the course of the play.〔Rodriguez, Briana. ("The 'Heart' of Off-Broadway" ) Backstage, 15 August 2014〕
Music and lyrics were written by Bert Berns, either alone or with a variety of co-writers.〔Rohter, Larry. ("Many Hit Wonder, Out of Obscurity" ) The New York Times, 16 July 2014〕 The songs range from Berns' greatest hits ("Twist and Shout," "Piece of My Heart," "Tell Him," "Hang on Sloopy," "Cry Baby," "I Want Candy," "Cry To Me," "Here Comes the Night," "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love") to some of his more obscure work ("Show Me Your Monkey," "Let the Water Run Down," "Heart Be Still").
