In the past I had a couple of opportunities to work together with Andrew Gold. For those of you who don’t know who Andrew was, he was a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter who influenced much of the Los Angeles dominated pop/soft rock sound in the 70s. He performed on scores of tracks by other artists, especially Linda Ronstadt, and had his own success with hits like “Lonely Boy”, “Thank You For Being A Friend” (which became the theme song of the Golden Girls TV sitcom) and “Never Let Her Slip Away”, which in my opinion is the best ever love song written. In the 80s, Andrew had further success mostly in Europe as one half of WAX, a collaboration with 10cc’s Graham Gouldman, with huge hits like “Right Between The Eyes” and “Bridge To Your Heart”.

I sent Andrew a couple of my demo recordings and he found this song “Did You Get What You Want” promising. In 2004 he invited me over to his home studio in Studio City near L.A. We spent 4 unforgettable days (and nights) together recording this track. I learned so much from him. His sense of humor was awesome. Of course, his musical talents were too. Sadly, Andrew passed away in 2011. This video is kind of like the “making of” this song. Andrew was a great person and we became good friends. Btw, I got to sing the last "Did You Get What You Want" in the song. I hope you enjoy this video and like the song.
