Most recent documents were not as moving - still recent I guess. But those fan letters made me quite sad actually. I do wonder where those girls are now. They were all fun times, mostly, but with success comes the serious business side, and with the 1980's things changed. Music became more business, less music as far as the record labels were concerned. The accountants began running things. The visionary music giants (Clive Davies/Whitney Houston) found themselves over-ridden by the bottom line...no matter the talent, the package was the thing. The decline and fall of the music business - I see parallels with the book publishing business sadly.Jane Risdon Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10979772710340659886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623985236650603455.post-40514724444120971402018-02-28T19:57:36.892+00:002018-02-28T19:57:36.892+00:00Fascinating experiences, Jane - must have been fun...Fascinating experiences, Jane - must have been fun to re-live them!
