Beau Dozier - SongWriter
I liked his stuff from the solo records. I wasn't that influenced by the Motown stuff until I think we were at a BMI awards one night. He gets a BMI award basically every single time. And then “Baby, I Need Your Loving” starts playing and I liked it.
It’s just such a wonderful feeling and I listen to it time and time again and it’s one of my favorite records. And that’s great. Then I started listening to all that stuff and I thought, Wow! this is very nice. One day I was watching a skateboard movie – I wanted to skateboard and I was never really good at it. The movie was called Gleaming the Cube, with Christian Slater, and he’s hiding in the backseat of a car while a Korean dude’s getting killed. And they’re playing a Korean version of “Same Old Song” and I liked that very much!
When they’re translating his records into other languages, I thought, okay, maybe I’ll do his thing. As Beau started writing and producing and doing his own thing, the pop musical landscape obviously was quite different than it was some time ago. Is there anything about his writing and his contemporaries that have started to influence you or that have affected you in some way?

Yes, it has. You know, when Beau started bringing home some of his rap friends, I said, what in the world? Some people say I’m from the old school. So when he and his friends were talking and playing rap, I was trying to figure out what they were saying: What is this mess? You know? And he said, Dad, you have to understand. This is the new thing.
