"Lesson #1: Always go with what you love."— David Foster, author of Hitman: Forty Years Making Music, Topping the Charts, and Winning GrammysWe recently received an advance copy of a new book by music producer, arranger, songwriter and performer David Foster. After reading it, we couldn't wait to share our excitement with you. Though not your typical personal achievement book, Foster's unique and outspoken memoir shares some incredible stories of triumph against long odds, as well as his secrets for success in the maddeningly fickle music industry. The first chapter grabs you right away with a background story of his award-winning contribution to Unforgettable: With Love, Natalie Cole's comeback album which featured a memorable duet with her late father, Nat King Cole. Throughout the book, Foster describes the delicate balancing act between artist and producer and offers revealing portraits of some of those artists at work, including Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Josh Groban, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney and many others. Quite simply, the book was hard to put down! And we thought you'd enjoy it as much as we did. To Your Success! |
