Publisher Description

After almost four decades in the music business, David Foster - producer, arranger, songwriter, performer - is ready to speak.

In his compelling and outspoken memoir, Foster shares incredible stories from his years of working with music superstars, including Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Natalie Cole, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Josh Groban, Michael Buble, and many others. Foster offers rare glimpses of the musical icons at work and shares his secrets for success in the fickle music industry.

At its heart, though, Hitman is the story of a boy with perfect pitch who grew up to become one of the most influential music forces of our time.

"I really liked how David Foster came to inspire other people to write and compose their own music. He has such a significant source to introduce us to many of the artists he has worked with over the last couple of years of his life and that's what really suprises me. "

    " I enjoyed reading this biography. This is one of the most talented individuals who has helped to shape the music industry. I never was aware of how many of his songs I actually knew that he had some part in. "

    " I gleaned so much about the music biz and, probably unlike other people, actually like all the name dropping he does throughout the book. If you REALLY want to know what the business is like, here you go. Also interesting what he says in defense of Kenny G. "

    " I've always known that David Foster was a great music producer but I didn't realize how many artists he had worked with or created hits for until I read this book. His rise in the music business is inspiring and while the book isn't terribly in depth, it is an interesting and quick read. "

    " Lots of good stories about people David Foster has worked with in the music business. He was careful not to blast anyone that he's worked with, although I think he insinuated plenty...(Whitney Houston, perhaps?) "

    " I thought it was interesting to hear some of the background behind the music industry. But, he jumps around a lot and all the details of his personal life (the multiple marriages, divorces, and affairs) were a bit much. "

    " Not a very difficult read at all. Despite a lot of name dropping, the book is still an interesting read into the life of one of the music industry's biggest players. If you are a fan of reading about the music industry, consider this one. "
