Tommy Mottola is one of the largest specialists in the field of searching and promoting musical talent. His most famous place of work is Sony Music, the potential of which he increased several times. The success of outstanding pop stars and rock musicians is directly linked to his name, and a lot of interesting things are told about some of them in the book of memoirs of the music mega-producer. Also on the pages of the memoirs is a world of behind-the-scenes intrigues and desk workers of record companies, far from music. In addition to the details of his own biography and the fate of various organizations where he worked, Tommy Mottola paid attention to analyzing the impact of technological progress on the development of the music industry. He is an optimist and believes that a lot of interesting metamorphoses await show business ahead. Who is in front of us? Is it the authoritarian Don Tommy, who squeezed billions of dollars from the talent of hundreds of artists around the world with an iron hand, or the noble idealist who transformed his youthful desire to become a musician into working to create conditions for the discovery of the talent of other people? We will leave it to the readers to judge for themselves.
