Pete Waterman: Cutting a different track

Source: Exec Digital UK: Better known as a pop music impresario, Pete Waterman speaks to Exec about skills shortages, a life-changing brush with the law, and his lifelong passion – British railways

Having introduced the world to Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Rick Astley, Steps and a number of other pop music acts who seemed to specialise in infernally catchy (and hugely successful) ditties – and created a multi-million pound empire along the way – there can be no doubting Pete Waterman’s business ability.

Spagna, Only Words

It isn't a Stock, Aitken, Waterman production. She's Ivana Spagna, my favourite italian singer. This video is under the real rain, and the song "Only Words" needs a view!
