Howdy, I just read an article in the January 2000 issue of "EQ" magazine, not GQ, EQ. A very interesting article about a gentleman named Umberto Gatica. He is a record producer and has worked his ass off for a long time. He engineered "We are the world" and specializes in vocalist recordings. He has worked with Barbra S., Gloria E.,Tina, Marlilyn McCoo, Bette, Taylor D., R Kelly, Cher,Ricky M., Chicago, Kenny G., Jonny Mathis, Coolio and tons more. Now his big act is Celine.He has a very special Telefunken 251 microphone and a custom preamplifier that he swears by. This guy makes a lot of money, but is said to be warm and gracious. So what, did he ever work with Basia? The answer is yes. A fairly hard to find remix he did of Basia's remake of "Until you come back to me" ESK 73485. If I recall, some other pop artist girl remade that same song the same year and smoked Basia off the charts. So perhaps Sony paid some big bucks to have this guy come in and remix it to HIT STATUS, but it did not work. Comments?
