    Summary: 
    Grammy and Academy Award-winning songwriter Carole Bayer Sager shares the story of her life in and out of the recording studio, from her fascinating (and sometimes calamitous) relationships collaborating with some of the greatest composers and musical artists of our time. She made lyrical contributions to some of the most popular songs in the English language, including "Nobody Does It Better," "A Groovy Kind of Love," "Don’t Cry Out Loud," and the theme from the movie Arthur, "The Best That You Can Do." She has collaborated with a dizzying number of stars, including Peter Allen, Ray Charles, Celine Dion, Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, Clint Eastwood, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Carole King, Melissa Manchester, Reba McEntire, Bette Midler, Dolly Parton, Carly Simon, Frank Sinatra, and Barbra Streisand. Her relationship with composer Marvin Hamlisch was the basis of the long-running musical, They're Playing Our Song, for which she wrote the lyrics. And her work with composer Burt Bacharach, to whom she was also married for ten years, produced pop standards such as "On My Own" and "That’s What Friends Are For." But while her professional life was filled with success and fascinating people, her personal life was far more difficult and dramatic. In this memoir, she tells the frank and darkly humorous story of a woman whose sometimes crippling fears and devastating relationships inspired many of the songs she would ultimately write.
