Named the most successful Latin songwriter in history, Rudy PeÌrez is the creator behind some of the bestselling records of BeyonceÌ, Julio Iglesias, Christina Aguilera, and IL Divo. In his one-of-a-kind memoir, Rudy tells about his childhood in Cuba and the heart-gripping visits to his father in prison during the height of the communist revolution. Tracing his family's perilous escape on one of the last Freedom Flights to America, Rudy opens up about the years of poverty and growing up in a crime-ridden neighborhood. These memories contrast with tender moments of dancing to the stereo with his siblings, nodding along to his mother's classical favorites, and swaying to blues melodies with his father. At a young age, Rudy tried his hand at recreating the music he loved, and his talent led him to an unprecedented career with over 300 hit songs. With years of hard work, ceaseless creativity, and a strong faith, Rudy was the first Latin music artist to win Billboard Producer of the Decade. Looking back over his five-time Grammy winning legacy, Rudy shares little-known stories of faith and behind-the-scenes details of working with stars like Fergie, Jaci Velasquez, Michael Bolton, Simon Cowell, and Sam Moore. A must-read for every music lover, The LATIN HIT MAKER is a genuine rags-to-riches story filled with inspiration, fascinating details, and a powerful reminder of God's grace and transforming creativity." -- $c Amazon.com. 600 10 $a PeÌrez, Rudy, $d 1958- 650 0 $a Sound recording executives and producers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Composers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Cuban Americans $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Noland, Robert, $e author. 941 $a 4 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20191115100419.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105021636.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20190910011829.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190822010204.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=069F03F2C31011E98FB7931597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
