Giving It All Away

David's journey reads like a film script: a near-death experience at the age of nine, drummer in his own band at the age of 14, discovering international singer Leo Sayer, co-writing and producing many of his hits, a 37-year friendship with pop star and actor Adam Faith, a menacing encounter with the mafia, and the mysterious death of his former Venezuelan wife. In this tell-all book, David reveals exactly what it takes to be a successful songwriter and producer, the life of an ex-pat in LA and just how crazy that life can be.

He takes you behind the scenes of Abbey Road and Top of the Pops and shows the highs and lows of the music industry. He has seemingly crammed ten lives into one, and this remarkable autobiography describes all of them.
