from FROM THE INSIDE
Written by Alice Cooper, Bernie Taupin & Dick Wagner
In 1977, legendary rocker Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier) was at the height of his career, yet really caught up in a self-destructive alcohol and drug addiction. His wife and manager forced him to go to rehab. The rockstar spent one month in a New York sanitarium.

“How You Gonna See Me Now” was the lead single from Alice Cooper’s From The Inside album. Co-written by the rock star with guitarist Dick Wagner and Elton John’s lyricist Bernie Taupin, this intense ballad became a solid hit by reaching #12 on Billboard’s Hot 100 in late 1978. David Foster added his polished feel to the slick arrangement and production by giving the song an out-of-the-box radio-friendly appeal. “How You Gonna See Me Now” was one of the first major hits that Foster produced and a review can be found here in the archives.

“From The Inside,” released in 1978, was Alice Cooper’s 11th studio album. Produced and arranged by David Foster, that record matched Cooper’s most typical hard rock style with Foster’s slick and elegant sounds. “From The Inside” is a concept album based on the singer’s stay in a New York mental hospital to fight his alcoholism.
