...compose one. I've had writer's block since I broke up with the drummer for Gary U.S. Bonds after the Cleveland concert...
...composer, pianist, arranger and producer who has worked on records with Sinatra, Ross, Diamond, Michael Jackson and Barry Manilow. Valli, 53, is the veteran pop singer whose high-pitched voice (a critic once likened it to an air-raid siren) still packs in audiences at basketball arenas, concert halls, nightclubs and casinos. Both men were original members of the Four Seasons, the famed rock group that next month will launch its 25th anniversary concert tour. The dozens of Four Seasons hits, including such Gaudio tunes as Big Girls Don't Cry and Who Loves You, have sold more than...
...partners despite their professional separation, and they split all income -- whoever earns it -- down the middle. When Gaudio co-produced the music for Manilow's TV special Copacabana, he gave half of his earnings to Valli, who had nothing to do with the show.

For nearly eight hours...
...entrepreneur: "Leave skid marks at the edge of the cliff." Rush was about to leave some. The year before, 1980, he had failed to fill a 500-seat rock club in Boston for a Christmas show, at $7 a ticket. Now he booked the city's classiest concert house, the 2,600-seat Symphony Hall, for a year-end performance at $15. It was a $20,000 gamble, and it paid off in a sellout. A year later, when he repeated the concert, Bostonians talked of his "traditional" Symphony Hall year-ender. Next season public television filmed the show...
