from GOODNIGHT VIENNA
written by Richard Starkey
In the fall of 1974, legendary former Beatle, Ringo Starr released his new album entitled “Goodnight Vienna.” Produced by the great Richard Perry, “Goodnight Vienna” was a solid pop/rock endeavour with several catchy moments and chock full of special guests like John Lennon, Elton John, Robbie Robertson and Harry Nilsson.
from LOST (single)
written by Michael Bublè, Jann Arden & Alan Chang
Released in november 2007, “Lost” was the third single off Michael Bublè’s worldwide smash, “Call Me Irresponsible.” The Canadian superstar co-wrote this bittersweet ballad with his musical director, Alan Chang and another famous Canadian, singer/songwriter, Jann Arden. “Lost,” like its predecessors “Home” and “Everything,” is solid proof of Bublè’s noteworthy talent as songwriter and like those songs it became a good hit single reaching #2 on the adult contemporary chart and entering Billboard’s Hot 100.
from 24 STRINGS AND A DRUMMER
written by David Foster, Jack Blades, Tom Keane & Michael Landau
To celebrate in style their first thirty years in the music business, veteran AOR kings, Night Ranger just released a new live album entitled “24 Strings And A Drummer.” This extremely pleasant CD/DVD package, recorded in California last spring, gives fans a great chance to rediscover the group’s melodic-rock songbook in an “unplugged” setting.
from ALONG COMES A WOMAN (single)
written by Robert Lamm, Bill Champlin & Deborah Neal
David Foster’s triumphant collaboration with Chicago in the eighties is mostly remembered for timeless ballads like “Hard To Say I’m Sorry,” “You’re The Inspiration” and “Hard Habit To Break.” Surely, those songs shaped up the adult contemporary sound of that era but those three Chicago albums also included lesser-known, up-tempo tracks that were absolute ear candies.
