That's an "E" you are playing

I also had perfect pitch as a musician--but it doesn't mean I was even remotely as successful as David Foster. His achievements, awards, and lauds are very well deserved. I really did not know too much about him until I watched RHOBH. It has been enlightening--THIS production, NOT RHOBH. It is an interesting symbiotic relationship that his music was given voice and spirit by singers, realizing that he could have never sung his own songs. Although his own life was a mess of marriages, it seems that he found nearly perfect relationships with his artists--each making the other great.

musical genius

The story of producer, arranger, musician david foster, born 1949, who has worked with so many great actors, singers, musicians. Nominated for three oscars, numerous emmies. Won the emmy for world children's day. Canadian rocker, had a rough start, but eventually made enough to support himself and his mother. Interesting story, mostly told by foster himself. He admits (and regrets) not being the best dad. Or best son. And probably not being easy to work with. But he does seem to have the genius to know how to build great music, and make it come alive. Interesting tale, with commentary by bill clinton. Quincy jones. Streisand. Directed by barry avrich. Written by andree bagosy. In the documentary section on netflix.
