Bully. Tyrant. Genius: 8 things we learned from the new David Foster doc
’s “Because You Loved Me.” Like we say, you couldn’t avoid the guy. Then again, you may also know him as one of the husbands onFoster explores and reminisces about his wild life in premiering Wednesday on Netflix. Here are eight of the most fascinating things we learned.Originally hailing from Canada, Foster relocated to London in the mid-Sixties as part of the Strangers, whom he describes as “a clean-cut, horrible dance band.
By the time Foster was recruited to produce Chicago in the early Eighties, that once-ubiquitous band had been hitless for years. In what amounted to what he calls a “dictatorship,” Foster rejected the songs they’d written, downplayed the horn section that had become a recognizable part of the Chicago brand, and even recruited outside musicians to play their parts. The situation still stings: “I was pretty upset for a while,” says trombonist James Pankow, who flashes the most ire.
During that period, Foster and the band’s singer-bassist Peter Cetera proved a natural match, especially when it came to wide-screen ballads that gave Chicago their comeback hits. With his band members chafing at their softer sound, Cetera wound up leaving — and to continue working with Foster on hits like “Glory of Love” from. “We didn’t have any use for anybody who didn’t want to be a team player,” Pankow says of Cetera. But Foster gets the last word.
