Comments:Shari Belafonte invited me to be part of this project. John Carter introduced us several years before this CD. We not only developed a very productive music relationship, but a long time friendship.
Altogether, I co-produced the entire “Eyes of Night” album in Germany and LA, with two very well known German producers, John O’Flynn and Joan Haliver. I also co-wrote 3 of the 10 tracks on this CD. The single, “I Want To Be Needed” was not only the first single for Shari, but became a track on two of Chris Norman’s albums.
The title song of Shari’s album “Eyes of Night” was co-written by Judithe Randall, her daughter, Robin and myself.
