I Am The Warrior - My Crazy Life Writing the Hits and Rocking the MTV Eighties
“Love Is a Battlefield,” “Invincible,” “The Warrior,” “Better Be Good to Me,” “The Best” are songs, that if you were young, and living through “heartache to heartache,” during the ‘80s—or even if you weren’t born until decades later—chances are you know the words to every song written by the Hall of Fame songstress Holly Knight.
In her book, “I AM THE WARRIOR: My Crazy Life Writing the Hits and Rocking the MTV Eighties” she offers a very juicy and provocative backdrop of her creative process of bringing her chart topping, mega-hits to life through the timeless vocals of Tina Turner, Pat Benatar, Patty Smyth, Rod Stewart, John Waite, Cheap Trick, Heart, KISS and the list just keeps going and going.
HOLLY KNIGHT’s songs have appeared in movies from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Thelma and Louise, Thirteen Going on Thirty, and one of my favorite movies, Dallas Buyers Club, and have been licensed for popular TV shows, including Schitt’s Creek, Stranger Things, Saturday Night Live, and South Park. By now, you should get the picture that her songs have been in your ears for the last 40 years.
In 2013, Holly was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. At the time only one of 16 women to have that honor.
Ladies and gentlemen it’s time to welcome the ICON, the LEGEND, the QUEEN of SONGWRITING, THE MISTRESS OF THE MELODY, the incomparable Holly Knight! http://www.hollyknight.com
