Description
Just for the Record is perhaps unlike any book you have ever read. With over 100 gold & platinum records to his credit, multiple Grammy® award winner Larry Butler shares many humorous and fascinating "behind the scenes" stories regarding his associations with some of the biggest names in show business--names like Julie Andrews, Sammy Davis Jr, Johnny Cash, Tim McGraw, and Frank Sinatra, to name a few. It is crammed with sage advice for anyone who desires to be more successful in life--not just the music industry. It is told with a humor and real-life humility that only a masterful songwriter could produce. This is a must-read for anyone who has aspirations of breaking into the music industry. It contains secrets from current and former executives at Sony, BMI, ASCAP, Capitol, and United Artists, as well as contributions from many artists including Rob Thomas, Kenny Rogers, Crystal Gayle, and more. Whether you are a student of music or the CEO of a major company, this will be one of the most enjoyable books you will ever read. In Just for the Record, Larry takes you on the musical journey of his life. Just be warned: once you start reading, you won't want to put this book down!
