Dolly Parton’s “1977 album, “Here You Come Again,” won the country music queen great attention and success from the adult contemporary and pop music audiences. That #1, platinum selling album still kept her country overtones yet mellowed them with delicious pop arrangements and high tech production. Gary Klein was at the helm and brought in the best players around like Jay Graydon, Dean Parks (also responsible for the inventive rhythm arrangements) and David Foster.

CLOSET MAN

From JAISUN
Written by David Foster, Donny Gerard & Eric Mercury

In 1976, David Foster produced Jaye P. Morgan’s self-titled album. It was a musical treat that offered fans the first important signs of Foster’s quality pop that would fully bloom on milestone albums like “Airplay.” Unfortunately, and in spite of its superior artistic value, “Jaye P. Morgan” never got the distribution it deserved thus becoming a well-kept secret. Thankfully, many of the songs included on the album resurfaced a couple of years later on new releases by R&B acts Hodges, James & Smith and Jaisun Johnson.
