A Pre-Grammy Conversation with Bob Clearmountain

Mike Ragogna: Bob, here at the Grammys watching over the sonics of the Bruce Springsteen segment. What are some of the things you look out for when it comes to the right mix on Bruce?

Bob Clearmountain: The thing with Bruce, and any artist like Bruce, is that the most important thing is the song, getting across the meaning and the character of the song. Bruce is almost like an actor in that he creates a character for each of his songs. He wants to make sure that the narrative of the song comes across. It's no different here than it is with making records. There has to be no disconnect between that character you create and the narrative. Basically, that's what I look for.

"Saving All My Love for You" Like several of her hits, Houston took an already-recorded song and gave it new life. Originally, this track was a duo by Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. back in the late '70s. This song — which dealt with loving a married or taken man — was Houston's first #1 hit...
