Chairman at the Board is an intimate, funny, and absorbing look at
the music business by an insider who has recorded a host of the
greatest musical artists of the twentieth century. Bill Schnee
takes the reader inside the studio-behind the curtain-and through
the decades with a cavalcade of famous artists as he helped them to
realize their vision. After his high school band was dropped by
Decca Records, Schnee began his quest to learn everything he could
about making records. Mentored by recording legend Richie Podolor
at his American Recording Studio and mastering guru Doug Sax, he
immediately began recording the top acts of the day as a freelance
engineer/producer in Hollywood. Clive Davis soon hired him to work
for CBS where he partnered with famed music producer Richard Perry.
Schnee went on to record and/or mix most of Perry's biggest albums
of the '70s and '80s, including those by Barbra Streisand, Carly
Simon, Ringo Starr, Art Garfunkel, and the Pointer Sisters. With
his deft personal touch with musicians, he continued to engineer
and produce the likes of Marvin Gaye, Thelma Houston (the
Grammy-nominated, direct-to-disc album I've Got the Music in Me),
Pablo Cruise, Neil Diamond, Boz Scaggs, the Jacksons, Huey Lewis
& the News, Dire Straits, and Whitney Houston. With over 125
gold and platinum records, and two Grammys for Steely Dan's Aja and
Gaucho, Schnee has been called a living legend-recognized and
respected in the industry as the consummate music man with an
incomparable career that he lovingly shares with his readers in
humorous detail.
