[YOU CAN HAVE ME ANYTIME](https://www.fozfan.com/2017/02/05/you-can-have-me-anytime-2/) - David Foster and Boz Scaggs co-wrote “You Can Have Me Anytime” for the Bay-area singer/songwriter's 1980 album, Middle Man. That sentimental ballad and its splendid melody immediately attracted the skilled ear of the late Maynard Ferguson (May 4, 1928 to August 23, 2006). At the time, the Canadian trumpet legend and esteemed bandleader was working on his new album that would eventually be titled It's My Time. - [THE LAST GOODBYE](https://www.fozfan.com/2017/01/29/the-last-goodbye/) - From time to time, an unknown goodie resurfaces thanks to the hard work of David Foster’s compilers. They are always hunting for rare stuff from The Hitman’s illustrious career. So was the case with Chris Christian’s 1982 obscure single, “The Last Goodbye.” - [GIVE THE LITTLE GIRL A CHANCE](https://www.fozfan.com/2017/01/22/give-the-little-girl-a-chance/) - Cheryl Lynn Flor was one of the many young singers who jumped on the disco/pop bandwagon in the second half of the seventies. After a promising start as a model in California , Flor entered the music world with the stage name of Flower. She scored a contract with United Artists Records and released her self-titled debut album around 1977. Given its twinkly cover, Flower could have easily been mistaken as another mild disco release. Although disco elements were included, so were moments of traditional pop and smooth soul that were delivered with superior class thanks to the terrific work of arranger supreme, the late Nick DeCaro (June 23, 1938 to March 4, 1992). - [DON’T EVER SAY GOODBYE](https://www.fozfan.com/2017/01/15/dont-ever-say-goodbye/) - In 1979, Anka supervised Between To Hearts, an album by Florida-born singer Sandy Contella. A good singer, Contella started his career back as a teenager in the early sixties with a few single releases. With its adult contemporary atmospheres, Between Two Hearts bears more than a reference to Anka who co-wrote the bulk of the album. Anka brought the great Don Costa of Frank Sinatra fame into the project to work on the more traditional arrangements. Anka enlisted Foster and his partner in crime, Jay Graydon, to give a different musical twist to a few songs. A good example was the refined instrumental track that Foster and Graydon crafted for “Don’t Ever Say Goodbye.” Compared to Anka’s version, the Contella take was more up-to-date, founded on the Hitman’s clever keyboard work and embellished by Graydon’s trademark guitar playing. They provided a few different musical ideas here and there with great benefit to the overall recording. Contella did a nice job with his vocal performance, competently guided by Anka on the project. Between Two Hearts presented a few more goodies to catch including the refined pop/soul “Slowdown” which was written by Anka who recorded it on his Music Man album. “Life Song,” a mid-tempo pop tune arranged by Michael Colombier with Anka on backing vocals, the jazzy ballad “Together Again” and “Strangers,” arranged by Foster and Graydon, were some more excellent songs to enjoy from the album. - [OH GIRL](https://www.fozfan.com/2017/01/08/oh-girl/) - April 1994 witnessed the release of the debut cd by American pop/R&B vocal quartet, All-4-One. Jamie Jones, Alfred Nevarez, Delious Kennedy and Tony Borowiak delivered a one-two punch with their first two singles; “So Much In Love” that reached #5 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and was certified gold and “I Swear,” their #1 international smash. - [GRANDMA](https://www.fozfan.com/2017/01/01/grandma/) - This week is dedicated to the late Alan Thicke (born March 1, 1947 in Kirkland Lake, Canada ,died December 13, 2016 at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center , Burbank , CA ). The multi-talented actor, singer/songwriter and composer died a couple of weeks ago of heart failure. Thicke's most famous role was as Jason Seaver in the successful TV sitcom Growing Pains that ran between 1985 and 1992. - [IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/12/25/its-the-most-wonderful-time-of-the-year/) - This week to celebrate the Christmas season in style, the Song of the Week has mined another gem from David Foster's 1993 cd, The Christmas Album. Foster, with the help of master arranger Jeremy Lubbock, delivers a version of “It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” that can rightly stand alongside Andy Williams' 1963 take on this definitive holiday classic. - [YOU’RE A MEAN ONE, MR. GRINCH](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/12/18/youre-a-mean-one-mr-grinch/) - Newcomer Jordan Smith is one of the most welcome surprises to come out of the talent show galaxy in recent years. Smith won season nine of The Voice and immediately became the best seller to ever come from that popular TV franchise. After the solid success of his March 2016 debut cd, Something Beautiful, that is mostly produced by David Foster, Smith came back with a new, seasonal offering titled ’Tis The Season. - [SHADOWS](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/12/11/shadows/) - A few weeks ago, we wrote about Skylark's 1972 hit, “Wildflower.” One of the first people to listen and fall in love with the demo of Skylark's “Wildflower” was Barry De Vorzon. He was a high-profile personality at the time in the Los Angeles music business. De Vorzon pushed David Foster and other Skylark members to move to California as De Vorzon worked his contacts to try and get Skylark a recording contract. Many years later, Foster wrote in his autobiography, “Hitman: Forty Years Making Music, Topping The Charts, and Winning Grammys,” to acknowledge De Vorzon's role in helping Foster's life take a fundamental turn on its way to success. - [LIVIN’ WITH YOU](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/12/04/livin-with-you/) - She was born Brenda Gordon on April 8, 1949 (the year varies) in Brooklyn, New York to father Gus Gordon, one of the Ink Spots and a member of the Bill Johnson Quartet, and mother Cinnamon Sharpe, who sang and wrote songs. She would become known as Brenda Russell, a distinguished singer/songwriter of gems including “Get Here” and “If Only For One Night.” Ms. Russell was active in the early seventies with her first husband Brian Russell as backing vocalists for artists including Anne Murray, Cat Stevens, Sir Elton John, Neil Sedaka and Cher . Sir Elton, recognizing the duo’s talent, signed them to his Rocket Record Company and 1976 brought their debut album titled World Called Love. - [A SMILE LIKE YOURS](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/11/27/a-smile-like-yours/) - Sung by the unforgettable Natalie Cole, “A Smile Like Yours” was the title-track on the original soundtrack of the 1997 romantic comedy starring Greg Kinnear and Lauren Holly. “A Smile Like Yours” was written by the amazing Diane Warren and produced by Walter Afanasieff and David Foster. Those two giant hit-makers were great friends with a deep, mutual respect. - [I BURN FOR YOU](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/11/20/i-burn-for-you-2/) - “I Burn For You” was a romantic pop song included on the soundtrack of the hit 1987 movie The Secret Of My Success starring Michael J. Fox. The movie was scored by David Foster who also produced its original soundtrack that included several of his pop/rock co-writes plus a few trademark instrumentals. The Hitman was red-hot from the platinum success of the music for the 1985 “brat pack” movie, St. Elmo’s Fire. - [WILDFLOWER](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/11/13/wildflower-2/) - This week the spotlight is on “Wildflower,” the 1973 hit by David Foster’s early band, Skylark. That sumptuous ballad was the Hitman’s first bite of success on Billboard’s Hot 100. “Wildflower” was co-written by Skylark’s guitarist, the late, Doug Edwards who passed away just a few days ago, with David Richardson, a friend of Foster’s who wrote a poem that married to Edwards’ inspired music and eventually became the lyrics of that evergreen. - [SENZA FINE](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/11/06/senza-fine/) - “Senza Fine” is one of the most important evergreens in the history of Italian popular music. Written by legendary singer/songwriter Gino Paoli, this astonishing composition was covered by a who’s who of international music stars including Ornella Vanoni who sang the original version in 1961, Dean Martin, Connie Francis, Boz Scaggs, Monica Mancini, Mike Patton of Faith No More, Claudio Baglioni and jazz legend Wes Montgomery. “Senza Fine” is also one of the classic love songs selected by Andrea Bocelli and David Foster for the singer’s 2013 cd Passione and is included in the Deluxe Edition of that gold-certified hit. - [TIME PASSING](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/10/30/time-passing/) - This Song of the Week review is “Time Passing,” another of the gorgeous instrumentals from David Foster’s seminal cd, The Symphony Sessions. Released in 1988, this project features the great work of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. - [I KNOW HIM SO WELL](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/10/23/i-know-him-so-well/) - The Broadway Album is one of the milestones of Barbra Streisand’s illustrious career. Released in November 1985, this stunning collection of classic show tunes reached #1 on Billboard's Top 200 and went on to sell over four million copies in the US and about eight million worldwide. - [DAY DREAM](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/10/16/day-dream/) - For this week’s review, reminisce about Lisa Dal Bello’s song “Day Dream” from her 1977 debut album produced by a young and gifted David Foster. Lisa Dal Bello included some of Foster’s most soulful work to date including "Milk & Honey" and "(Don't Want To) Stand In Your Way." - [LOVE IS ALIVE](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/10/09/love-is-alive/) - Released in July 1975, “Love Is Alive” was the first single from Gary Wright's seminal album, The Dream Weaver. Although very interesting musically and fueled with a catchy melody, the song and album didn't immediately click with American audiences so Wright and his record company, Warner Brothers, decided to go with the title-track as the second single. - [YOU'VE LEARNED TO LIVE WITHOUT ME](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/10/02/youve-learned-to-live-without-me/) - In the eighties, Sheena Easton's gorgeous voice graced the international music charts with hits including "Morning Train," "The Lover In Me," "For Your Eyes Only," "Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)," "Strut" and "We've Got Tonight," her classic duet with Kenny Rogers that David Foster produced in 1981. - [IF I TURN YOU AWAY](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/09/25/if-i-turn-you-away/) - In the early eighties, a very young but skilled Richard Marx began working as an assistant at David Foster's Chartmaker Studios. Marx co-wrote some staples with the Hitman including "The Best Of Me," recorded by Foster as a duet with Olivia Newton-John plus the Kenny Rogers, Kim Carnes and James Ingram hit, "What About Me?." - [AMERICA](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/09/18/america/) - Closer was released in November 2003 and was Josh Groban's sophomore cd. After a couple of months in the Top Ten, it zoomed at #1 on Billboard's Top 200 at the dawn of 2004. Produced by David Foster, that milestone cd eventually sold over six million copies in the US alone. That triumphant chart performance led to a high-profile tour that sent the young singer all over the US to perform at sold-out venues. His tour was captured on Groban's next cd/dvd entitled Live At The Greek. Recorded at Los Angeles' infamous Greek Theater, Live At The Greek delivered top ratings when broadcasted on the PBS "Great Performances" series, became an out-of-the-box best-seller and was certified six-times platinum. - [LOVE BY ANOTHER NAME](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/09/11/love-by-another-name/) - Throughout the eighties, the God-given talent of Celine Dion built a huge buzz between Canada and other francophone countries. During that time, the Quebecoise songbird released a series of albums and singles in French that had very good chart resonance, mostly in her homeland. After an extremely promising start, the dawn of the nineties brought Unison, Ms. Dion's introduction to international audiences. Released in April of 1990, Unison was completely sung in English and saw the young artist collaborating with David Foster. - [GOT YOU WHERE I WANT YOU](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/09/04/got-you-where-i-want-you/) - n 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. - [GARTAN MOTHER'S LULLABY](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/08/28/gartan-mothers-lullaby/) - For Our Children is a various artists compilation released in 1991 to support the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.

The late Reed Nielsen (died November 15, 2014) and his partner Mark Pearson were among those gifted musicians who walked the quality pop road. On their Nielsen/Pearson album, they wrote songs with beautiful melodies, great hooks and arranged them with an irresistible jazzy flavor not far from the Steely Dan or Gino Vannelli world. Lyrically, they were more conventional than Donald Fagen and Walter Becker of Steely Dan. Nielsen's and Pearson's music presented similar, unusual chord changes and superior musicianship delivered by session aces comprising of Vinnie Colaiuta on drums, Neil Stubenhaus on bass, Charles “Icarus” Johnson on guitar, Tom Scott and Chuck Findley playing the horns. - [GOTTA GET BACK TO LOVE](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/07/24/gotta-get-back-to-love/) - It's plain and simple: Bill Champlin's 1981 album Runaway is a quality pop masterpiece.

Go to the archives to read about delicious musical gems like “Satisfaction,” “The Fool Is All Alone” or “Sara.” From one track to the other, the listener is taken to precious smooth ballads and high-tech pop/rockers that rival the best material of Toto, Earth, Wind & Fire, Boz Scaggs or Kenny Loggins. - [ALL IT TAKES](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/07/17/all-it-takes/) - Nigel Olsson's name is unavoidably associated with Elton John's band.

Co-written with David Foster and Tom Keane, “When Will The World Be Like Lovers" was an energetic, up-tempo number that can be found in the archives. What everyone doesn't know was that Chicago recorded “When Will The World Be Like Lovers” almost ten years earlier on the sessions for their 1986 Chicago 18 album. Mysteriously, that fantastic, David Foster-helmed tune didn't make the final cut, yet a recording of the song resurfaced on the web and has been floating around for years. - [DO I LOVE YOU?](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/06/05/do-i-love-you/) - Robert Lamm was the gifted composer, singer and keyboard player of the legendary band Chicago.

The young and talented Groban fit that crossover role like a glove and he went on to sell millions of Foster-produced cds. As a consequence, all the record companies worldwide started to sign operatic singers, hopeful to surf that successful wave.

The Australian songbird worked an impressive string of fifteen Top 40 hits including #1s like “I Am Woman,” “Delta Dawn” and “Angie Baby.” Ms. Reddy had a beautiful, sweet voice perfectly suited for the kind of soft rock/adult contemporary material that was successfully sung in those years by Barbra Streisand and Melissa Manchester. “Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady” was another winner for Ms. Reddy and reached #8 on Billboard's Hot 100 as well as #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. - [AMAZING GRACE](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/05/15/amazing-grace/) - Jordan Smith was the winner on the ninth season of American singing competition, The Voice. Smith’s gorgeous voice made immediate buzz among the show’s millions of viewers and inside the music industry as well with its beautiful tone, great power and perfect delivery. The twenty-two year old’s sweet and tender performances were tailor-made for adult contemporary audiences, but, through the most inspirational material, deeply rooted in Christian music. Given his vocal potential and overall positive persona, Smith immediately became a David Foster protégée.

Bacharach has been instrumental in pushing the harmonic and melodic limits in popular (aka pop) music. His compositions are full of unique time changes and rhythmic ideas flowing beautifully while sounding very natural to the listener. Foster applied the same formula to many of his hit songs and the result is as pleasant and catchy as Bacharach’s finest works. - [MEAN MACHINE](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/04/17/mean-machine/) - This week, the focus is on a goodie from another smart reissue by the UK label, Cherry Red Records.

Originally cut on Columbia Records in 1978, the October 2012 cd, The Miracles, became a sought-after item by fans and soul music lovers alike for its very limited availability generated by a dispute between the group and Columbia Records’ executives. Consequently, The Miracles was released only in The Netherlands with a few import copies making their way to the US where the album never officially saw the light of day. - [WHY CAN’T WE FALL IN LOVE](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/04/03/why-cant-we-fall-in-love/) - In 1980, renown soul/R&B act, the Tavares, released an album titled Supercharged.

Cook. - [MY FUNNY VALENTINE](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/03/13/my-funny-valentine/) - “There are very few singers that excite me and live up to my particular expectations.

Foster’s collaboration with Bolton was one of the highlights of that era.

Under Foster’s guidance, AWB evolves in the same league as Earth, Wind & Fire and The Doobie Brothers with a sound made of superior songwriting, spectacular musicianship and top-notch vocal harmonies. - [NOBODY’S PERFECT](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/01/24/nobodys-perfect/) - David Foster’s reputation as a world-class music maker is partially due to his seminal work on chart topping ballads like Earth, Wind & Fire’s “After The Love Has Gone," Chicago’s “Hard To Say I’m Sorry,” the late Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” or Cèline Dion’s “Because You Loved Me.” The Canadian super-producer also brought that same, irresistible melodic appeal and his formidable knack for inventive arrangements to more left-field projects for big names including Alice Cooper and The Tubes. - [A CASE OF YOU](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/01/31/a-case-of-you/) - We have already celebrated the release of Diana Krall’s cd, Wallflower, a year ago with the review of its gorgeous Paul McCartney’s ballad, “If I Take You Home Tonight.” Last September, Verve Records delighted Krall’s fans with Wallflower (The Complete Sessions), a special release that included all the sixteen songs of the original deluxe edition plus four other songs recorded on those sessions.

The result was commercially and artistically astounding. The song became an out-of-the-box hit by reaching the top ten on both sides of the pond which paved the way to the double platinum triumph of I AM. On this spirited anthem, the band kept their trademark lush orchestrations and smart chord progression that were above the average disco stuff heard on radios in those days. The fantastic vocals by Maurice White and Philip Bailey with a noteworthy support from female R&B group The Emotions were a total knock-out as were Willis’ personal lyrics. The backing track of the tune was smoking hot with guest David Foster who co-wrote the bulk of I AM with White and Willis plus being right on target with his rhythmic acoustic piano playing. - [IT WILL BE ALRIGHT](https://www.fozfan.com/2016/02/14/it-will-be-alright-2/) - The late Dan Seals (February 8, 1948 – March 25, 2009) had a successful stint in the seventies under the moniker of England Dan with his old friend John Ford Coley.

Produced by supreme music-maker Greg Mathieson, All Dressed Up was one of those obscure pop recordings that presented such a superior musical quality that deserved far better luck on the charts and radio. The noteworthy level of Roberts’ compositions and top-notch value of the production was on the same wavelength, in terms of catchiness and craft, of platinum sellers like Christopher Cross and Toto IV. Every time All Dressed Up graces our ears, we can’t help but wonder why it didn’t take the American charts by storm. Roberts’ endeavor included the pop/rock gems “Too Good To Last” and “Someone Like You” that had perfect melodic appeal and fantastic musicianship courtesy of Toto guys including the late Jeff and Mike Porcaro on drums and bass, Steve Lukather on guitar and producer Mathieson on various keyboards.

Again, the young pop-jazz singer/actress teamed up with the legendary David Foster who masterfully produced her critically acclaimed, self-titled debut cd in 2004. The birth of "Skylark" was a bit troubled. Foster and Olstead started the sessions around the end of 2005 and worked hard for a couple years on the project. Together, they recorded many standards and original songs, but saw several changes to the tracklist before it met the approval of Reprise Records who finally released the cd on January 27, 2009. - [WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY](https://www.fozfan.com/2014/09/21/who-what-when-where-why/) - Released at the dawn of 1978, "Pastiche" was The Manhattan Transfer's fourth album and the third released with founder Tim Hauser plus Alan Paul, Janis Siegel and Laurel Massé.

Even though "Pastiche" was a mild entry on Billboard's Top 200 at #66, it reached the top ten in the UK, thus becoming the highest charting release by the virtuoso vocal quartet in that market to this day. - [THE LAST PLACE GOD MADE](https://www.fozfan.com/2014/09/14/the-last-place-god-made/) - "World Falling Down" was Peter Cetera's fourth solo album and released in July 1992.

"World Falling Down" was the former Chicago singer's last commercially relevant release with three singles in the Top Five of the Adult Contemporary chart and minor hits on Billboard's Hot 100. - [I DON'T WANT YOU ANYMORE](https://www.fozfan.com/2014/09/07/i-dont-want-you-anymore-2/) - It's a given fact that Bill Champlin's first solo album “Single” was one of David Foster's first superior performances as a producer and arranger. Although not a commercial success, “Single” was rumored to be the album that got Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire fame interested in this young and gifted keyboard player even before hearing the irresistible melody of “After The Love Is Gone.” - [ESTATE](https://www.fozfan.com/2014/08/31/estate/) - Andrea Bocelli's "Under The Desert Sky" was a cd/DVD release that features the Italian superstar's December 2005 concert at Lake Las Vegas.

David Foster and Humberto Gatica were responsible for the impeccable production of "Amore" and in charge for "Under The Desert Sky." - [IT'S THE FALLING IN LOVE](https://www.fozfan.com/2014/08/24/its-the-falling-in-love-2/) - From time to time, we discover interesting renditions of songs from the amazing David Foster songbook. This time it's a beguiling dance cover of “It's The Falling In Love” by UK modern funk duo Smoove & Turrell.

Smoove & Turrell included their take of “It's The Falling In Love” on their 2011 sophomore cd “Eccentric Audio.” - [BABY LOU](https://www.fozfan.com/2014/08/17/baby-lou/) - Between the late seventies and the early eighties, many famous European acts recorded albums in California to incorporate their sounds with the magnificent atmospheres of the LA session scene of that era. Good examples were releases by important names like Riccardo Cocciante, Umberto Tozzi , Lucio Battisti, Alan Sorrenti and Alberto Fortis from Italy, Michel Berger, Alain Chamfort, Grimaldi/Zeiher, Sheila and Michel Polnareff from France, Ted Gardestad and Tommy Nilsson from Sweden.

We reviewed “Figli Delle Stelle” years ago, so this time around we focus on “Rock'N'Rose.” - [CINDERELLA BEAUTIFUL](https://www.fozfan.com/2014/08/10/cinderella-beautiful/) - Every now and then we feel the urge to go back and listen to Peter Cincotti's 2007 album East Of Angel Town. The main reason is that East Of Angel Town is a magnificent record, one of the best pop collections ever heard in the new millennium and certainly one of David Foster's most challenging productions in recent years. On this album, the wildly gifted singer/songwriter/piano player presented a fantastic string of pop songs that wonderfully blended quality pop, jazz, blues and refined funk. We never tire of spreading the word about East Of Angel Town for its superior musical value. It's pretty sad that such an endeavor only found limited commercial success in Europe, but it was criminally overlooked in North America, especially thanks to Warner Bros. Records' off-target release strategy. - [GONNA DO MY BEST TO LOVE YOU](https://www.fozfan.com/2014/08/03/gonna-do-my-best-to-love-you/) - Carmen Rosa Vega, aka Tata Vega, is a veteran R&B/gospel vocalist whose powerful voice can be heard on numerous recordings by popular acts including Kenny Loggins, Philip Bailey, Stevie Wonder, Melissa Manchester, Andraé Crouch and Patti Labelle.

This project is a collection of pop and soul covers of hit songs from the likes of Hall & Oates, Christopher Cross, Journey, Earth, Wind & Fire and several others. Those who loved Benet's great reworking of the Toto classic "Georgy Porgy" or his 2005 David Foster-produced cd "Hurricane" already witnessed the singer's passion for quality pop and soul music of the late seventies and early eighties.

Those platinum, award-winning singles and albums put the Canadian-born music-maker on the red-hot list of producers and the rest, as they say, is history. Although of the same top-notch quality of the aforementioned records, those same years witnessed some Foster work that didn't become as popular and, in some cases, remain a well-kept secret to this day. Dara Sedaka's “I'm Your Girlfriend” is one of these hidden gems. - [LOVE'S THE WAY I FEEL 'BOUT CHA](https://www.fozfan.com/2014/06/08/loves-the-way-i-feel-bout-cha/) - Virtuoso musician Alphonso Johnson is one of the modern legends of bass guitar.

Cook and singer Donny Gerrard. “Skylark 2” was released in 1974 and oddly enough, the new album again included their “Wildflower” hit ballad, maybe to cash in some more on its huge potential. “Skylark 2” was a good soft/rock collection with touches of soul, country and Latin rock. - [THE BEST OF ME](https://www.fozfan.com/2014/04/27/the-best-of-me/) - Last week we mentioned "The Best Of Me" as one of David Foster's trademark ballads and a very successful chapter of his golden songbook. Around 1982, Foster co-wrote the song with composer/arranger extraordinaire Jeremy Lubbock and the great pop/rocker Richard Marx. Marx was only nineteen years old then and worked as Foster's studio assistant. Through the years, the charm of this sweet love song has attracted singers including Barry Manilow, Michael Buble, Kenny Rogers and Phil Perry. Yet the most successful rendition of the tune belongs to veteran UK superstar Cliff Richard who, in 1989, scored a #2 hit in his homeland with it. - [END OF MAY from CRAZY LOVE: HOLLYWOOD EDITION](https://www.fozfan.com/2014/04/20/end-of-may-from-crazy-love-hollywood-edition/) - Michael Buble's worldwide smash “Crazy Love” had a special edition released October 2010 called “Crazy Love: Hollywood Edition.” Originally released a year earlier, “Crazy Love” was produced by David Foster, Bob Rock and Humberto Gatica and became a giant bestseller in many countries while collecting a slew of Grammy and Juno Awards.
