In this compelling and outspoken memoir, Foster shares some of his incredible stories: the first time he met Barbra Streisand, as a young session player in Los Angeles; his first of 15 Grammys® for "After the Love Has Gone," Earth, Wind & Fire's memorable hit; the making of Unison, Celine Dion's English-language debut; the challenges he faced on his way to putting the group Chicago back on the charts; his award-winning contribution to Unforgettable: With Love, Natalie Cole's comeback album; those back-to-back recording sessions with Madonna and Michael Jackson; and the incredible chain of events that spawned Whitney Houston's historic blockbuster, "I Will Always Love You." Foster has worked with superstars of every decade, including: Celine Dion - Josh Groban - Whitney Houston - Michael Bublé - Barbra Streisand - Andrea Bocelli - Madonna - Michael Jackson - Natalie Cole - George Harrison - Earth, Wind & Fire - *NSYNC - Chicago - Paul McCartney - All-4-One - Katharine McPhee - Toni Braxton - Alice Cooper - Olivia Newton-John - Michael Bolton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Hitman: David Foster ReviewAs a musician, songwriter, and music historian, this book is in my collection of great ones. This man is responsible for many musical star's careers. The book is informative, and encouraging. Owen McWilliam Rating:  - Cliffs Notes VersionI bought this book expecting something similar to Quincy Jones' autobiography or Fredric Dannen's "Hit Men" which has more anecdotal stuff about the music biz. There are many omissions in this book (like Foster as movie producer, etc.), seems like Foster only reveals what he wants the public to see. As a fan, I was disappointed that there were no big revelations, which is surprising, because Foster is in dire need of a shrink. His failure to communicate with his wives led to his divorces, which ... Read More Rating: - A MUST read book for anyone interested in "pop" music! I have always known little about David Foster except that he is "that Canadian guy who worked with Celine Dion et al" I truly enjoyed and appreciated that this man wrote such a revealing but balanced personal history of his years in show business from the humble beginnnings in dreary 60's london to the glitzy over the top L.A. scene in a heyday never to be repeated- Marvin and Barbara Davis' circle. This book is not about parties or excess though. David clues us in early on about his large wholesome ... Read More Rating: - couldn't put it downI have been a David Foster fan for years; I've always wanted to know the backstory. This book not only reconciles why Grammy-winning Foster has become the person he is (shares family history) and explains his gift (perfect pitch) but is quite the indulgence for anyone addicted to pop culture or major performers! This book recounts his interactions (successful & friendly or sour & resentful) with many of the singers we know and love: Michael Buble, Celine Dion, Frank Sintra, Barbra Streisand, Katharine ...
