S2 E40 - Holly Knight

Holly Knight is one of the most successful songwriters of all time. Her top-selling book, ”I AM THE WARRIOR; MY CRAZY LIFE, WRITING THE HITS AND ROCKING THE MTV EIGHTIES,” is a tell-all personal and professional story of her incredible life.

She was inducted into the Song Writers Hall of Fame in 2013 and was voted in Rolling Stone’s Readers Poll as one of the five best songwriters and at the time, the only woman on the list.

Holly and I talk about songwriting, programming, a handful of the hundreds of songs she’s written for TV shows, movie soundtracks, and multiple Grammy winning hits for some of the world's biggest superstars.

The conversation continues about her investment in the Tony Award-winning Broadway show “Tina” and her long-time collaboration with producer and co-songwriter Mike Chapman.

Knight and Chapman worked together on the top-five hits “Better Be Good To Me (Tina Turner) and “Love is a Battlefield” (Pat Benatar), both of which won a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. On her own and in collaboration with others, Knight’s written with Heart, Aerosmith, John Waite, Rod Stewart, Hall & Oates, Animotion, Cheap Trick and Bon Jovi, to name a few.

Tina Turner, who Holly wrote the smash hit classics “Better Be Good To Me,” “The Best,” and numerous others, wrote the forward to Holly’s book. Let’s listen in. Enjoy!
