IF I COULD EVER MAKE YOU LOVE ME

from SECRET (single)

written by  David Foster & Seal

The musical relationship between David Foster and pop superstar Seal started in 2008 with the recording of “A Change Is Gonna Come.” That wonderful cover of Sam Cooke’s classic developed into the whole “Soul” album that was a hit worldwide and set the foundations for new, exciting projects. Seal praised Foster’s superior talents while the super-producer publicly stated he was in awe of the singer’s fantastic voice and musicality.

FOR YOU I WILL

from SPACE JAM ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK

written by  Diane Warren

The soundtrack of the smash hit movie “Space Jam” was one of the best sellers of 1997. The album was certified platinum six times and reached #2 on Billboard’s Albums chart. “Space Jam” presented an extremely  appealing mix of R&B, Hip-Hop and Pop tunes performed by some of the most famous names in the music biz.

TONIGHT TONIGHT

from NEVER FELT SO RIGHT

written by  David Foster & Ray Kennedy – Additional lyrics by Bill Champlin

Although originally entitled “My Everlasting Love” and included on Ray Kennedy’s 1980 self-titled album, Bill Champlin took the song, added some new lyrics and released it under the title “Tonight Tonight” on his classic solo album “Runaway.” The killer ballad was co-written by Kennedy with David Foster who produced the original recording. In 1981,  Champlin’s “Runaway” version also sports a magnificent Foster production with “Tonight Tonight” sounding slightly more sophisticated than Kennedy’s version.

SPLISH SPLASH

from WET

written by Bobby Darin & Murray Kaufman

Released in 1979, “Wet” was another platinum seller on Barbra Streisand’s long string of hit albums. “Wet” reached #7 on Billboard’s chart fueled by the massive success of the superstar’s #1 duet with Donna Summer entitled “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough).” That hit single was arranged by newcomer Greg Mathieson who also arranged a couple other tracks on the album.
