Music Producer Shares Scandalous Secrets

When you've worked with Madonna, Frank Sinatra, Paul McCartney, Mariah Carey and, uh, Air Supply, you're bound to have a few stories to tell. Fifteen-time Grammy winner David Foster tells plenty in his new memoir, 'Hitman,' the title of which says as much about the author's willingness to whack prima donnas as it does about his track record.

After producing a duet between Sinatra and Barbra Streisand, Foster encountered both singers at a party and asked whether they might like to perform the song for the gathering. "Why the f--- would I want to do that?" replied the Chairman.

OK, so maybe a mean Sinatra story isn't such a revelation. More surprising is Foster's claim that Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson were truly, if briefly, in love. "Maybe she brought out the testosterone in him," he speculates.

Sure ... and maybe Frank Sinatra was Mr. Rogers in a tux.

    every one has bad days but it seems like some think they are God and act as if you should bow to them. I have no respect for people who can't seem to ge over themselves.

    When you are on the inside you have plenty of stories to tell. This makes for some interesting stories for everyone to hear. And plenty of articles to read about later.

    But wanting to be a part of that scene takes one click and a 1.3 minutes of your time. Http://www.recordingconnection.com is a step above the rest when training you for a career in the music industry. With their matchmaking service and you picking to work with hip-hop, country, jazz studio near you. What are you waiting on? Go.
