Jimmy: Another problem arose,

David: I immediately connected

We formed a great writing

But in the back of my mind,

Now, we just gotta decide

David: My life would've been
and my children's life would've
been a lot simpler and easier,
if I had of not been
married so many times.
- No one's more afraid of
his track record than himself.
- Women have always
been his weakness.
- There's so many women.
- It's funny that he was given
daughters and sisters um,
and he was very close
with his mother too,
and he's always been close
with every woman in his family.
- Three older sisters
to dote on him,
three younger sisters
to look up to him.
- I don't think that he
planned on being married
five times in his life.
- So obviously, yes, women.
- If I was sitting in front
of a psychologist,
or a psychiatrist,
he would call me a runner.
When things get rough,
or bad, I run.
Erin: Having mixed families
is really challenging.
- There're never any pictures
of Grandpa Maury,
- Why?
- ...because he was always

he had left our mom for.
And living in a house

David: Nice key.

or six years old.

I was working all the
Sleeping at the studio for
two or three days at a time.
So, you're gonna see
a lot of scar tissue.
Amy: My father and I look
for exit strategies
the same way that other
people make dinner plans.
When conflict arises,
my dad's first instinct
is to avoid,
and evade, and deflect.
My father stayed in LA.
We were poor as shit.
I mean, we were poor.
My father sent child support,
but that's all we had.
And then, I would go during
the summer to see my dad,
and he was living in Malibu
in like a palace.
And I was like, wait.
David: It's more like,
hey, there is a shiny,
new thing over there.
In my mind, it's like,
on the other side.
the grass is always greener
It's a lot of that.
This is not working so...
that looks a lot better
to me over there.
- He lived like a king.
The mansions in Malibu
that I didn't live in,
to the neighbourhood
that I lived in, in Toronto,
to the very unconventional
family that I had.
I have 10 siblings,
and I'm an only child.
Wait. That's really fucked up.
David: You can just imagine
with children
from three different women,
and how tough it's been
for all the players.
When I run,
it's a knee-jerk reaction,
I just go.
I just move on.
And there are always
consequences.
The biggest mistake
I ever made
was leaving Rebecca.
Imagine leaving
and we have three children;
age 5, 4...
and Jordan was 7 months.
What a fucking stupid
thing to do.
I would just say I'm sorry.
You know, I'm sorry
that I really fucked it up.
Jordan: I do remember
having crying sessions,
just feeling like, oh God,
my dad doesn't love me.
And that's a horrible feeling.
Erin: There was a situation
he'd created
where he didn't live
with his own children.
He lived with someone
else's kids.
There was a lot of tension
there.
- You grow up a little bit
faster
than you would necessarily,
if you didn't have that
relationship with a parent.
Amy: I believed that I was
a casualty of his ambition.
- From my earliest memory,
I was in the studio with him.
While I did see the back
of his head for many years,
in the studio, I never
felt like he wasn't there.
I just always had so much
respect for him
and what he did.
Amy: I never felt angry,
I just accepted it.
I had to do it at the studio.
If I wanted to see my dad,
I love my father.
I adore my dad.
You know, when he shines
his light on you,
it is fantastic.
Sara: It wasn't always easy.
It wasn't easy as a kid.
I don't know,
if I had to choose to be
really close with my parent
as a kid, or as an adult,
I would pick an adult.
He's such a sounding board,
and such um,
almost like a friend
in a lot of ways.
- I would like to point out
at this moment,
that all five of my
daughters are here,
all the way from Florida,
Zurich, Edmonton,
Nashville, and LA.
Thank you, girls.
I have five amazing daughters,
all successful.
all strong-willed,
I think I did something right.
- There was never a time
he didn't pick up the phone
when you called.
- No.
- Anytime he was in the studio,
no matter what hour, what day--
- Or if he was working
with Madonna or something,
he'd be like, hold Madonna.
- There was never a time
that they came back
to the phone
and said he's not available.
- Never.
- I think that sometimes he
thinks he wasn't a good dad,
and that hurts my feelings,
because he was a good dad.
David: My message to them
is, you know, I did my best,
I could have done a lot better.
I'm trying to do my best now.
Pull up your bootstraps
and get on with it.
It would be hard for me to
sit with any of my children
I really love you.
and go, you know,
I really do.
And I really care about you.
That's probably never come
out of my mouth with my kids.
It's not hard for me to say
"I love you" at all.
It's a little bit rogued,
you know at the end of a
conversation with your kids,
love you. Love you too.
There is a big difference
between "love you"
and "I love you".
- And what do you say?
- Love you.
Amy: I know that he loves me
in the only way that he can.
The first time a song of
mine went number one,
he said, "Mhmm,
well, you know, Amy,
there's only one thing harder
than getting a number one
hit song."
And I went, "What?"
He's like, "Getting two.
And when you get two,
call me then."
Katharine: I hope Erin
doesn't mind.
She called me one day,
not too many months ago.
And was hysterical and was
really upset about her dad.
And it was to do with a
conversation that they had,
around a big, personal
event happening in her life.
Really not honouring
her feelings.
He was so upset,
but he couldn't say,
you know what,
it was just awful,
I feel horrible,
I'm so upset.
He couldn't say
any of that stuff.
I said, you know, you really
don't wanna go weeks now
not talking to her,
you need to fix this tonight.
And he looked at me so,
so defiantly and just said,
you know then, maybe she should
just go and do that.
And I was like, wow,
this is your own daughter,
like, you don't mean that.
I got him on the phone
with Erin that night,
and they're working
through it.
They have years and years
of stuff to work out.
I know how much he loves
his children.
be more intentional
I'm trying to get him to

thing to do,
but also because he genuinely,
genuinely cares.
And genuinely is interested
in wanting to know
who Sara is and Erin is,
and Jordan, and Amy
and Allison for that matter.
daughter that I had
David: Allison is a
when I was 19 or 20
with a girlfriend.
We gave the baby up
for adoption.
I knew that some day
she would come looking for me
and she did.
She was maybe 30, when she
found me on the internet.
She's really smart,
but it's a different feeling
than when you raise somebody.
And I think honestly
she probably would like
more from me,
it's just I can't,
I'm just spread too thin.
I had met Kevin Costner
in Vancouver.
He said, I'm about to do this
film called "The Bodyguard,"
would you be interested
in doing the music?
Quincy did tell me,
you are about to do the most
important project of your life.
He was absolutely right.
Clive: You start with
"The Bodyguard" itself,
the film.
When I first saw the rushes
at Christmastime,
I thought it was weak.
I thought that Warner Bros.
were much too dependent
on making this
a gripping thriller,
and there was very little,
if any,
demonstration of the stardom
of Whitney.
- All right, I'm up.
- It was Whitney's first film.
She was feeling her way
as an actress.
The chemistry between
Kevin Costner and Whitney
must be felt.
- Well, you don't look like
a bodyguard.
- What'd you expect?
Clive: Typically, the head
of any record company
is gonna want more music
in the film,
but unless you establish
Whitney's stardom,
the script didn't provide that.
So, I wrote a letter to
the director and Kevin,
saying just that -
if you don't get more music,
if you don't get more
performance from Whitney,
you do not have
a great film here.
Kevin Costner literally
took this letter to heart.
He assumed a very vital role
working with David Foster
on this.

I didn't like the demo.
And Whitney was like,
"Really, David?
I don't, I'm not gettin' this."
And then, luckily,
the song hit the charts
with Paul Young,
so I ran to Kevin Costner
and said,
"Ah, we can't do this song,"
feigning like,
that I'm disappointed.
So he said, "Okay, let me

He must have had some ID
on him. And then they said,

That was Ben Vereen.

Hello?
Man that must have been one

It was Ben.
And I knew that,
that he was gonna live.
When he was flown to UCLA
they scanned his whole body
and they saw this
subdural hematoma.

And he was bleeding to death
which is why he was acting
so crazy,
standing in the middle
of the road.
The Doctor said that he would
have been dead by 7:00 a.m.

So the worst moment of my life
ended up being something
that weirdly saved his life.
- My goal when I go in the
studio with a singer is,
I believe in my head
that I'm gonna get a better
vocal out of this singer,
than he or she
has ever done before,
or ever will do again.
I got a tip that this young
singer was up in Canada.
She was already famous
in Quebec,
so I'm not taking any credit
for discovering her.
I flew to Montreal,
I drove 100 miles in the rain.
Céline: I was performing

but I could not believe

for his daughter.

you've gotta hear this guy
that's about to sing
at our wedding. He's amazing.

He sounded like a cross between
Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darin.
- He was a crooner.
He could do the-the

- Yeah, really.
He was quite--

your bills,

You wanna come down to LA?
Maybe we could work on
some stuff?"

- From this movie that
embarrassed Warner Bros.
and cost them a lot of money,
came this song
that has its own life
and is heard today.
It just found its way
into our popular culture.
David: It was the Grammys,
and Bocelli was not able
to make the rehearsal,
so I needed to find somebody
to do his part
on "The Prayer" with Céline,
for rehearsal.
So I called my friend,
Seth Riggs,
who's a great vocal coach.
- Middle, middle,
chest, chest,
middle, middle.
Head voice.
David: I said, "Seth,
do you have anybody
that happens to sound
like Andrea Bocelli?"
I got like 5 or 10 guys
He said, "Oh yeah,
that sound like him."
He sends me a cassette tape.
The first three,

the 25th to Lanai,
David: So, we're gonna fly on
but I don't know
if we fly to Maui
or if we fly to Honolulu.
Kathy: He just goes-goes-goes.
He's already on
to the next thing.
Interviews, touring,
meetings with people.
He could be in Asia
at some point.
Marc: He's the number one
entertainer in Southeast Asia.
- My name's David Foster.
- And uh, it's great
to see you all.
- You mention the name
David Foster, they go crazy.
Everybody's singing his music.
- Yes! That's what
I'm talking about!
Kathy: "Asia's Got Talent",
you have to be in Singapore
on the 4th.
- Of? December.
- December.
finish?
- Yeah, and when does it
- And then returning
on the 15th to LA.
David: I started going
to Asia in the late 80's,
and I started getting
this following.
Being an egomaniac,
who wouldn't go for that?
Man: Here we go, David.
- He's making his entrance.
Announcers: The hit man
himself, David Foster.
- Good evening, everyone,
and welcome back
to Mandalay Bay!
- He's claimed
that he has retired,
and then a few months later
will say,
"I have to work, I have
to work, I have to work.
I-I just have to."
David: I always planned on
leaving the music business
before it left me.
I know where I belong
and where I don't belong.
Look at where we are, okay?
For the majority of those
45 years
I was in a room like this;
a submarine.
No windows, no light.
No vitamin D.
A submarine. That's where
I spent my life.
I don't wanna do that anymore.
I've always said about myself
I know where I belong
and where I don't belong,
in a room with Lady Gaga.
and I don't belong
- Bullshit!
I listen to "Shallow"... here's
what David Foster would do with
"Shallow". Of course you could
be in that room.
Yes, I would have said yes
to that.
If I have heard that song,
Bradley Cooper and Gaga,
"A Star is Born"
I would have done it.
50% I don't wanna be there,
and add.
50% I have nothing to say
If you could have another 50%
I'd say I'm bored with myself.
I am truly bored
with myself
and what I can do here.
I don't love this.
I love being out there.
Playing live has been great
for me and I'll tell you why.
I'm making the music,
and then the artist
has the luxury to go out
and enjoy what we've created
together
and-and watch the peoples faces
as they sing it.
I've never had that thrill.
So now when I go out
and play live
I get to watch their faces with
the music that I've created.
Even though, I didn't sing it.
I still created it.
I try to be great every day,
and I learned that
from Quincy Jones,
when I handed him an album,
from many, many years ago,
"Have a listen, but don't
listen to track 5
'cause it's outta tune,
and don't listen to track 2
because the song's
not that good,
and track 7,
just skip over that.
But there's like,
track 4 is really good."
And he said, "Gimme that
thing!" And he goes...
"What does it say right there?"
"Produced by David Fos--."
"Yeah, produced by
David Foster."
He said, "You give me something
with your name on it
and you make excuses for it?"
And since that day,
I have never, ever
not tried to be great
every day,
because good is the enemy
of great.
and respect.
Quincy: Love, trust,
Your music can never be more
or less
than you are as a human being.
That's the bottom line.
So you work on being a good
human being first,
but even before a good musician.
Jeffery: Success, hits,
fame, money, power,
all seemed like the things
that were driving him.
Then, when I got
to know him better,
I saw a totally
different person.
I always thought,
this is a man with a huge ego,
and yet, the amount of people
he's helped is extraordinary.
- I got a call from my mother,
30 years ago,
and she said,
"There's a young girl at UCLA,
go visit her."
She was all hooked up with
wires, she was five years old.
She needed a liver transplant.
I just asked her you know,
what would she like more than
anything in the world,
thinking she would say she
wants to go to Disneyland,
or that she wants to meet
whoever the star was
at the time.
And what she said was,
"I wanna see my sister."
For the price of an airline
ticket, flew the sister down.
And that moment,
when the two sisters' eyes met,
it's etched in my brain,
and that is the moment
when I went,
this is what I gotta do.
We help the families
of children
that need organ transplants,
and we take care of all
the costs,
and we are the one bright light
in the worst day
of a family's life.
Even a family that's doing well,
that are involved
can't absorb the costs
in trying to keep two
households going for weeks,
months, or even years sometimes,
and we pay all that.
It's hard work.
Oprah: I'm here tonight
to pay tribute,
to give honour,
and celebrate tonight's
honouree
of the David Foster Foundation.
- Tonight, we have raised...
$10.2 million!
Michael: There's definitely
a heart behind this man.
He feels deeply about making
a difference,
bringing together
and keeping together,
families of these children
who are fighting
for their lives.
Marc: Everybody's calling him,
and do my charity,
do my charity.
Not just David's charity,
everybody else's charity.
The first thing that comes out
of his mouth is, "Yes."
He's not afraid to pull on
his celebrity friends.
He would do everybody's
charities, and he has.
♪♪♪
David: You know I had a friend
tell me recently,
he said, you've made some very
poor real estate decisions
based on the fact that you
haven't been on an elevator
for 30 some-odd years.
For a guy that likes to be in
control it must be annoying.
And people think that it's
like just some kind of a joke.
How do you push the button
to get it here?
I run into people and they go,
"Oh yeah,
I don't like elevators either,
you know".
Yeah, but you take them.
Oh my God.
It controls my life.
It's something that I,
I've tried to deal with
and never fixed,
and I probably never will.
Oh my God.

I calculated once,

Does it get any easier.

I have had health scares

I also have a bicuspid
aortic valve,
which needs to be swapped out.
Which is a big five hour
surgery.
I think everybody is afraid
of death, aren't they?
It's the only
one unavoidable thing.
And it's the thing that
everybody is least prepared for.
Don't wanna leave the party.
Plain and simple.
It's exactly what it is.

frozen, for sure,
so he would come back.
He loves living.
- Hi, baby.
- Hi.
- So, welcome
to my reality show.
about how
- Were you just talking
we have a FaceTime
relationship?
- I was not talking about that,
although we do have
a FaceTime relationship.
- I'll get better, I promise.
- I'll call you from the hotel?
All right.
- Okay.
- Love you.
- Bye. I love you.
David: Well, I certainly don't
wanna drop dead in the studio,
because that would just be
too ironic.
I don't wanna be working
the day I die.
I wanna be like,
on a boat somewhere,
laying in the sun,
have a nice little glass
of wine beside me.
Go to sleep and not wake up.
Katharine: I've never met
anyone
who is more focused
on the idea of longevity.
He is, more than anyone,
obsessed with staying
on this earth.
Amy: He can't sit still.
He's not capable of staying
out of the game.
Amy: And I think he
is in search of
that perfect something
that will make him finally stop
feeling the need
to move all the time.
- He's got a real sense of
how things should be presented
to have real impact on people.
He's no embarrassed to be big
and flashy and brassy -
he's lived life to the fullest.
- His legacy will keep going
even though he might not think
so 'cause he's still great.
Carole: And he hasn't learned
how to say 'no' yet.
It's probably the good news.
Maybe not for him,
but for all of us.
- He deserve that honour,
this legacy.
I feel very privileged
as an artist
that has the chance
to work with him.
Those big songs will never
disappear. Never.
Andrea: David said that I am
the best singer of the planet.
I can say the same thing
for him.
He's the best producer
of the planet.
Peter: If you look
at the number of people
that he's had success with,
I think that's a legacy enough.
The stable of artists
that he's worked with,
recorded with,
and had enormous success with,
and I'm just lucky enough
to be a small part of it.
Michael: He's a complex,
distinct,
and amazing human being.
There are so many parts
of him that I'll never know,
of him
and there are so many parts
that I wish
the whole world knew.
Clive: David Foster is one
of the greatest producers
of all time, without question.
David has received
47 Grammy nominations.
You've gotta be careful
with somebody
who's had a great deal
of success,
to stereotype that,
to typecast that,
to say oh,
that is what he can do.
- We're very funny together,
I would say.
But I put up with him because,
as he frequently reminds me,
he's so brilliant.
And you know what? He is.
Quincy: All I can say is,
David, is YOLO KOKO -
you only live once,
so keep on, keepin' on, man.
and learning this,
Keep on struggling with this,
and learning this, and growing.
David: If Mozart actually
did in fact say
that he never thought he
completed a perfect work,
then what chance do the rest
of us stand?
I'm driven by the need
to succeed.
I will drive myself
into the ground
trying to have a hit Broadway
musical,
and it may or may not happen,
but it won't be for lack
of trying.
