Tommy Mottola presents his book'' hitmaker''<br /><br /><br />NASHVILLE, United States (31/ENE/2013.) - Behind Mariah, Michael and the constellation of stars in one of the most successful labels in history there was a man who did not talk much to the press or explained his motivations. now A decade after leaving Sony Music Entertainment, Tommy Mottola, Thalia's husband, tells her story in the book "Hitmaker: The Man and His Music." Similarly, Mottola apologizes for the failure of his marriage to Mariah Carey says the support of his label to Michael Jackson when the singer's life and career became increasingly bizarre and make an arc evolutionary music business as he has witnessed, from Elvis to the iPod.<br /><br />As a record executive, Mottola took seriously the task of keeping out of reporters' notebooks. But as an author, not avoided topics of interest to followers of the industry, but rejected two previous versions of the book I did not like before finding a rhythm that felt more comfortable. "We always try to stay in the background, even with this book, "Mottola said in a telephone interview last week. "'Try to do a good job and the results speak for themselves." That was always my philosophy, but I went against my own philosophy and decided to write this book. " Mottola, a Bronx native, is a former singer led to stardom for Hall & Oates before joining the then future acquisition of Sony, CBS Records. Sony helped guide the recording business and eventually took over the global leadership of the company, which sold 8,000 million albums and won U.S. $ 65,000 million in his 15 years at the helm. Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey are just part of a long list that includes Bruce Springsteen, Destiny's Child, Celine Dion, The Dixie Chicks, Barbra Streisand, Billy Joel ... and do not forget the Latin explosion with Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony and Shakira. Their fingerprints remain throughout the music industry. "I think it was a genius ... I do not think we can go back to see something like Tommy Mottola definitely made because the business has changed, "said Emilio Estefan, who described Mottola as his brother in a telephone interview Wednesday. "I definitely wrote a chapter in the music business that I can not happen again."<br /><br />However "Hitmaker" written with Cal Fussman, is no fairy tale. Mottola details their successes and effort it took him to the top of the industry, but also talks extensively about his bad moments. The employer of 63 years is quite unforgiving to the executives that led him to leave Sony. "I had a vision of building all this entertainment company that obviously exists today as public companies Live Nation and many others like it, or AEG, where the company may have participated in all sources of income, "he said. "But there was no one even remotely understand what I was saying at that level." Mottola says that Jackson "broke" when downloaded from the record company and personally against Mottola amid accusations of child molestation and a drop in album sales. Mottola Jackson called the devil and began a public campaign to rid themselves of his contract it. Eventually, Mottola said, both repaired the relationship: "That happened and we ended up being great friends." But as the president of the label, Mottola was in the uncomfortable position of being the only one who said no to Jackson when the expenses for his increasingly extravagant projects began to overindulge. "We tried for him, for his sake, hit the brakes many times, "said Mottola. "And we did the best we could. But at the end of the day Michael was an adult. M was a man of 30 and 40 years when I worked with him and he could make his own decisions ... even when his advisers told otherwise ". <br /><br />Regarding Jackson's legal troubles, Mottola said he fully supported the seal forming an opinion on the allegations. "We corresponded judge," he said. "We corresponded support Michael and that's what we did. Were there and support Michael as best we could." Further distancing public that Jackson was Mottola's romance, marriage and eventual divorce, with Carey, then a chorus girl of 19 years who helped lead the top. Over the years, Carey has described Mottola as driver, saying the locked himself in his mansion even after becoming the world's most popular singer. In his book, he writes that Mottola was "absolutely wrong and inappropriate" linked to Carey. "I deeply regret any discomfort or pain that inevitably caused her with all my good intentions, and particularly regret that this left scars on my two older children," he wrote in reference to the children of his first marriage. Mottola felt it was important to present his version of the story behind the "hard" and "false" descriptions that for years has given interviews Carey. <br /><br />Carey said that he asked her to marry her and described as "nonsense" his statement that was restrictive and controlling. Emilio Estefan said the divorce of Carey, who was not available for comment, took his friend to a dark period staff, one who is glad to have helped to introduce him to leave behind his current wife, Mexican singer and actress Thalía, with whom he has two children. "Be that separation between him and Mariah was difficult for both," said Estefan. "I love them both, of course. I witnessed and was a friend of Mariah also agree for years in large parties and celebrations. Sometimes things happen and when this happened I saw him all alone and knew that Thalia was in New York filming a movie. " Suggested they go out to dinner: "You know what? Clicked. He called me that night and said, 'I love this girl." She called me and said,' I love this guy. 'Both are worshiped and have an amazing relationship.
