The end result was our first re- cord - one that neither the band nor the label was happy with.  Geffen dropped the band. What was once the band with the Midas touch was now the kiss of death to industry insid- ers.  As people tend to do when things go wrong, we blamed others.  We fired Hilly and signed a management deal with a big-time entertainment manager David Sonenberg who represented Meat Loaf, Jimmy Iovine, Southside Johnny, etc. and was later won an Oscar as an executive producer of the film When We Were Kings.  We signed a publishing deal with Jerry Love at Famous Music and soon had our second “big break” with a new label in Seat- tle called Track Records.  The al- bum (Back To The Wall) featured the single, “Canary Song” for which we recorded our first vid- eo that was featured on MTV’s 120 Minutes and we thought that finally, things were turning back around for us.  But alas, the Rosemary Conte Voice Teacher & Coach Innovative technques for great singing.
