Book Reviews of Hitman: Forty Years Making Music, Topping the Charts, and Winning Grammys
Book Review: Where dreams come from
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic book. Many of us had great aspirations as kids. Not many of us followed up on them. Being a grown up has little to do with being a kid. But if you've followed your dreams and pursued them with total abandon and nothing to fall back on, you may be fortunate enough to live your life with all the wonder and thrill you enjoyed in your youth. David Foster is a brilliant musician in his own right. A great story-teller and put together a book I've shared with many. I have a musician in my life and told him it was a "must read". Get his DVD/CD as well. All the brilliant talent he's encouraged and helped become successful. Received it as a gift and is still at the top of my list of favorites. And yes, my career is in a line of work I could only imagine as a kid. And sometimes I still have to pinch myself... Thank you Mr. Foster.

Summary of Hitman: Forty Years Making Music, Topping the Charts, and Winning Grammys
After almost four decades in the music business, David Foster -- producer, arranger, songwriter, performer -- is finally ready to talk. In this compelling and outspoken memoir, Foster shares some of his incredible stories: the first time he met Barbra Streisand, as a young session player in Los Angeles; his first of 15 Grammys® for "After the Love Has Gone," Earth, Wind & Fire's memorable hit; the making of Unison, Celine Dion's English-language debut; the challenges he faced on his way to putting the group Chicago back on the charts; his award-winning contribution to Unforgettable: With Love, Natalie Cole's comeback album; those back-to-back recording sessions with Madonna and Michael Jackson; and the incredible chain of events that spawned Whitney Houston's historic blockbuster, "I Will Always Love You."Foster has worked with superstars of every decade, including:
Celine Dion - Josh Groban - Whitney Houston - Michael Bublé - Barbra Streisand - Andrea Bocelli - Madonna - Michael Jackson - Natalie Cole - George Harrison - Earth, Wind & Fire - *NSYNC - Chicago - Paul McCartney - All-4-One - Katharine McPhee - Toni Braxton - Alice Cooper - Olivia Newton-John - Michael Bolton
...and many more.
From his unique and privileged vantage point, Foster describes the delicate balancing act between artist and producer, offers revealing portraits of some of those artists at work, and shares his secrets for success in the maddeningly fickle music industry.
At its heart, this is the story of a boy with perfect pitch who grew up to become one of the most influential musical forces of our time -- the solid gold hitman who produced the soundtrack of our lives.
