The Road to Harry's Bar
by Gordon Haskell
Before he broke the all-time records for radio play previously held by The Beatles and Frank Sinatra with his 2001 single 'How Wonderful You Are', Gordon Haskell had worked behind the scenes with many musical greats. He also played for rowdy drunks on booze cruises; some days would find him at a Hollywood poolside or scurrying to escape an FBI raid on a Miami gambling den. He became the friend of milkmen and movie stars, policemen and prostitutes, crackpots and gun-toting mafia men. And he wrote songs about them all. They knew with 'How Wonderful You Are' that he was singing to every one of them. They also knew the road to Harry's Bar had been twisting and potholed. Even after a GBP2.8 million deal for his lifetime's songwriting work, Haskell has been left owing money to the moguls who steered him to the top and he is now unable to make another record without every penny going to those who turned his windfall into a debt. The Road to Harry's Bar is a tribute to all that was once great in the music business but it is also a candid account of the double-dealing and sacrifice Gordon encountered en route to the top.
