Hitmaking producer David Foster was once fired from working on a Ringo Starr album.<\/p>\n

The veteran musician recalled the career flub as he chatted to music mogul Clive Davis online during the first of two pre-Grammy Award fundraising events.<\/p>\n

Foster joined the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart, Alicia Keys, John Legend, and Dionne Warwick for the all-star celebration, which Davis used to highlight what he considered to be the top live performances from over the years.<\/p>\n

After playing a clip of The Beatles in concert, Davis welcomed Foster to the party as the multi-Grammy winner recalled his experiences of working with Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo on their solo projects decades ago.<\/p>\n

However, he admitted his stint with Ringo didn’t last long, as he was promptly dismissed by producer Richard Perry.<\/p>\n

“Richard fired me from the album. He didn’t like the way I played,” Foster shared. “It was a great ‘a-ha’ moment where you take it in and say, ‘I can do better’ or you fold and go home.”<\/p>\n

His collaboration with McCartney in the 1980s didn’t work out too well, either, but they’ve since become friends.<\/p>\n

“I thought we were going to do The Long and Winding Road, Part 2 and he had no intention of doing that,” he remembered.<\/p>\n

“The great artists want to go forward, so we didn’t do too well in the studio… I’ve seen him since and he remembers it fondly.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
