GPS-Get Professional Songs

Story: Keith Bradford

I prefer to say that GPS stands for GET PROFESSIONAL SONGS instead of global positioning system.  You have worked hard getting a budget together, picking out your favourite recording studio, scheduled the best studio musicians you can get and the day of the session has arrived.  It is time to make those songs of yours shine.  

But what good is it to shine an old car that won't run?  Or to pour perfume on a pig?  The best producer in the world may be able to get you a mild hit with an inferior song but most likely these days he may not even be able to do that much.  There is an old saying, "A great song doesn't care who sings it."  It is no longer acceptable to have a good song to record.  Nowadays you must have GREAT songs.  

The competition for airplay and subsequent sales is more demanding now than it has ever been in the history of making records.  The only time it was any harder than it is right now was during World War II.  Get professional songs before spending your money. If you want any chance at all for success on your recordings it is imperative you find the best songs available.
