Crafting smash hits with Van Halen, the Doobie Brothers, Nicolette Larson, and Van Morrison, legendary music producer Ted Templeman changed the course of rock history.
This autobiography (as told to Greg Renoff) recounts Templeman's remarkable life from child jazz phenom in Santa Cruz, California, in the 1950s to Grammy-winning music executive during the '70s and '80s. Along the way, Ted details his late-'60s stint as an unlikely star with the sunshine pop outfit Harpers Bizarre and his grind-it-out days as a Warner Bros. tape listener, including the life-altering moment that launched his career as a producer: his discovery of the Doobie Brothers.
Ted Templeman: A Platinum Producer's Life in Music takes us into the studio sessions of number one hits like "Black Water" by the Doobie Brothers and "Jump" by Van Halen, as Ted recounts memories and the behind-the-scene dramas that engulfed both massively successful acts. Throughout, Ted also reveals the inner workings of his professional and personal relationships with some of the most talented and successful recording artists in history, including Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Eric Clapton, Lowell George, Sammy Hagar, Linda Ronstadt, David Lee Roth, and Carly Simon.

From his time working with The Doobie Brothers, Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, David Lee Roth, Michael McDonald, Bulletboys and so many more including producer Andy Johns and engineer Don Landee, Ted's storytelling mesmerized me as I've listened to dozens of his productions through the years and been a fan of many.
I loved listening to every musical moment he went through and my only regret is that the book didn't go into even more detail and wasn't longer.
Templeman has lived an incredible life (so far). Thank you Ted for sharing so much in the book and giving so much through music. With Van Halen alone, you changed the face and sound of rock.
The Incomparable Ted Templeman!

The narration is superb. Probably my favorite non-author narration ever.
Highly recommended if you are into music and even more so if you appreciate good sounding records.
