Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You -- Wow that one brings back memories, I think it was on top of the charts in Ireland for like 345,876 weeks or something!!! I have not heard it in a long while though, and listening just now reminds me of why it was so popular all those years ago.
Foster said that she did it perfectly on the first take and he made her do it 8 more times in the study to try to get something even better out of her. That is his general approach to all musicians.
Wow he really really pushes them doesn't he... and what was the takeaway? Was it that he got the very best out of them, even more than they thought they had to give?
I will try and check out the documentary some time, thanks for the heads up.
