A very personal song I wrote with the brilliant lyrics of Michael Brooks.  I did the Piano/Vocal track in one take.  I've never shown it to anyone, except Barbra Streisand, who really liked it!!  Did I follow up??  No.  Was I a jerk?  Yes!!!

broken hearts _ bob esty demo

A song I composed to the lyrics of Michael Brooks, intended for the ROLLER BOOGIE Soundtrack in 1979.  We never finished it, because there was not enough room on the dbl Album!!  The pic of Michael and Me, is from a screening at the Egyptian Theatre of ROLLER BOOGIE in the summer of 2013!!

On The Way - BOB ESTY Demo

Michael Brooks wrote the lyrics from his heart.  I wrote the music from my heart.  He knew we would never be together as one, and I also knew it.  This a one-time performance, and you can hear the click track in my headphones at the end.

Secrets Of The Heart - BOB ESTY (WORK TAPE)

The demo I arranged & produced for THE BROADWAY ALBUM in 1985.  It was meant to be a bonus 12" single for the album as a promotional tool for a younger crowd not into broadway songs.  But when she plsyed it for David Foster, he said, in an I-don't-like-anything-disco attitude, "I don't hear it, for this project."  And Paul Jabara & I were immediately fired!!

Shall We Dance-Hello Young Lovers - Mrs. Brolin

I wrote this song to the lyrics by Roger "Butch" Flint, for an idea that Warren Beatty had for Madonna, to promote his Disney film, DICK TRACY!!  Unfortunately, it was too late.  But Warren loved it!!!  I really related to the Title....

Look at Roberta Kelly's photo!!!  What a fun time I had co-producing this project with Giorgio Moroder in 1977!!  When Giorgio asked me, "Do you know 'Oh Happy Day"?"  I answered how much I loved The Edwin Hawkins Singers, and Giorgio said he wanted me to do a "Gospel Disco" Album!!!  Boy, was I ready!!!!  Hallelujah!!!

Oh Happy Day Medley (Edited Version)

A Guide Demo Vocal I did in one take, so Cherilyn could learn this song written by Michele Aller & Me in 1978!!  This was too high a key for her, so the real recording was lower!!  She heard the song in a Beverly Hills Hotel Bungalow.  I had to sing & play the piano, planting my right broken leg with a full cast on the keyboard!!!!
