'''Fred Fassert''' (born 1935) is an American songwriter most famously known for his composition "[[Barbara Ann]]", which was originally written for the band he was in at the time, [[The Regents (doo-wop band)|The Regents]]. In 1961, the song reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was covered by other artists, including the [[Beach Boys]] on their 1965 album, ''Beach Boys' Party!'', with the single reaching #2 on the Billboard chart. Fassert wrote "Barbara Ann" for his sister, Barbara Ann Fassert. His brother, Chuck Fassert, was the original 2nd tenor of the Regents.<br />

[[Vince Vance and the Valiants]] covered it with their 1980 hit song "Bomb Iran", inspired by the [[Iran hostage crisis]] of the previous year: this song indeed was set to the same tune, and the band credited Fassert as the composer.<br />
