This one is about the 2001 album, BOUNCE, as told to @people magazine. 9-11 is a big thought around this one. New York and the world would never be the same again.

It was 1986 on this exact date when this song was birthed into the world on July 23rd. I’ve written thousands of songs, but this one is a special baby. It marked my first songwriting sessions with @bonjovi and @therealsambora, and consequently, became the bands first #1 hit! 38 years later, it’s still standing strong! To read how it all came together, it’s all in my book LIVIN’ ON A PRAYER: BIG SONGS BIG LIFE. Available on @amazon | Desmond Child

Here is Part 7 of the social series created by @people magazine which presents @bonjovi’s discography with some songs I helped co-create. It astounds me how many albums we’ve worked on together! This particular album, LOST HIGHWAY (2007) birthed the great song “You Want To Make A Memory”. The infectious love ballad broke the Top 40 and would go on to receive a nomination at the 2008 Grammy Awards for Best Pop Performance by a Duo/Group with Vocals. “You Want To Make A Memory” ✍🏼Jon Bon Jovi, Ri

I am so proud of 16 year old Icelandic pianist, composer, and ASCAP Foundation Desmond Child Anthem Award winner, Kári Egilsson, who absolutely killed it at the American Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers (ASCAP) honors event yesterday. Later last night, he blew the roof off of Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson’s Upper West Side soul nightclub, Sugar Bar NYC! Check Kári out! | Desmond Child

Most people don’t realize there is a sonic connection between a @bonnietylerofficial song and a @bonjovi song that I collaborated on. Toss in a hint of Eurythmics for some extra flavor, and now you have another masterpiece!
