Written by David Foster & Carole Bayer Sager
“It’s The Falling In Love” was one of the most covered songs of David Foster’s early songbook. Co-written with Academy Award-winner Carole Bayer Sager, “It’s The Falling In Love” gained immediate exposure when it was included in the late Michael Jackson’s (1958-2009) 1979 incomparable Off The Wall album.

Between the second half of the seventies and the first half of the eighties, David Foster and Jay Graydon created some of the most sophisticated pop music ever recorded. Their stunning melodies delivered with jazz-infused harmonies and unusual chord changes pleased the ears of music lovers on treasured albums by the late Al Jarreau, Bill Champlin, Boz Scaggs, Manhattan Transfer, Chicago, Hall & Oates, Marc Jordan and many more.

In the spring of 1982, legendary pop/soul diva Dionne Warwick released her new album for Arista Records entitled Friends In Love. Produced by renowned Jay Graydon, Friends In Love was a stunning example of the most refined adult pop delivered with all the genius tricks that made other Graydon productions, including Al Jarreau’s Breaking Away and Manhattan Transfer’s Mecca For Moderns, milestones of quality pop. Unlike those aforementioned classics, Friends In Love fell victim of an absurd boycott by the record label. The album eventually sold only 200,000 copies and hit the wall at #87 on Billboard’s Top 200.

Released in 1993, Dionne Warwick’s “Friends Can Be Lovers” is surely the best record of that decade for the veteran songbird. For this project, the singer’s label, Arista Records, brought in big names like Diane Warren, Lisa Stansfield, Siedah Garrett and Barry J. Eastmond to write and produce on the album.
From FRIENDS

“Friends,” released in 1985, was Dionne Warwick’s second encounter with David Foster. Their first was when he co-wrote the magical title track of “Friends In Love” with Jay Graydon and Bill Champlin.
