Download Hitmaker: The Man and His Music AudioBook Free
Much has been written about Tommy Mottola, one of the very most powerful, visionary, and successful professionals in the history of the music industry. He found out, developed and launched the careers of many superstars, including Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, and Gloria Estefan, and it is acknowledged with creating the "Latin Explosion". He has had the privilege of working alongside Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Beyonce, Michael Jackson, Barbara Streisand, the Dixie Chicks, Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, Tony Bennett, and Ozzy Osbourne, among other music giants. That is his tale - a story of the modern music industry, from Elvis to the ipod touch - through the sight of the man who made much of it happen. Hitmaker recounts what sort of child from the Bronx - and a school dropout - became one of the music industry's most creative and controversial CEOs. For the very first time, Tommy lays bare the facts behind the most sensational areas of his life, such to be committed to and expanding the job of Mariah Carey, taking care of Michael Jackson's emotional fluctuations, and the energy struggle with his onetime boss and coach Walter Yetnikoff. Hitmaker will take you inside this world of electricity, money, and fame as he recounts the fascinating dealings with countless icons, and what it was like to be at the very top when the business enterprise suddenly changed. Tommy's tale is one that won't be duplicated - and here it is, in his own words, for the very first time.
