Me and Paula Abdul in the studio with my engineer Gary Tole

Yesterday I got a visit from two friends I'd not seen in almost twenty years. They were Oliver Leiber, son of the famed composer Jerry Leiber (of the mega songwriting team Leiber and Stoller), and filmmaker Anouk Nora. Oliver, whom I've know most of my life, burst on the scene with two Paula Abdul #1 songs "Forever Your Girl" and "Opposites Attract."

I worked with Paula on the film Coming to America. I scored the film and she choreographed the African tribal dance scene.

Oliver's brother is Jed Leiber, who co-wrote with me and Jeff Beck the score to a film called Blue Chips, starring Nick Nolte and Shaquille O'Neal.

Anouk and I used to be very tight when her family owned the premier resort in St. Martin called La Samanna. She was partnered with filmmaker Marcus Nispel back in the day. We did Olé Olé "Soldados del Amor ft. Marta Sanchez." Wow. Time Flies!
