One-hit wonder producers vs producers who make avarage songs and never become remembered. Difference?

[e-crooner]

I doubt there are many one-hit wonder PRODUCERS, I don't know any. Producers usually work for various artists and for years or decades, so they are much more likely to produce several successful songs for different artists - or none at all if they suck as producing.
I suppose it's different with one-hit wonder ARTISTS.

Guy Stevens comes to mind. He produced London Calling, but really didn’t have a producer role on anything else he was involved with (nothing as major as London Calling, anyway)

[excuse me please]

I would not mind to become a single shot producer one day

The difficult thing would be to find an artist who would be willing to take you on without previous experience. Most producers have built up their experience from being an engineer first, or starting with relatively unknown acts. It’s very rare to find one who starts at the top.

Hey,

I always wondered, producers who make one really good songs that are remembered for a lifetime vs producers who producer more songs that are more average and none of them become remembered.

Which of these has more talent? Or how do you differentiate both of these scenarios?

Ah, the mythical producer.

I'm a producer. Well, I have a copy of Fruity Loops Producah Edition anyway. They wouldn't lie to me, would they?

It takes a lot for a man to hold his head up in this world and say with a straight face: I'm a producer.

But there's a few of us about.

Some of us have had no hits, one hit, many hits. Some of us just have bitch tits. It's what it is...

Some of us produce for ourselves. For others. For money. For fun. For love. For profit. Who cares. You need a shit lord attitude in this game. See JJ Cale. He was a producer's producer. Shit producer, but still. A producer none the less.

I've written many posts on what it means to be a producer, on our own very own KVR. You can search. Who cares.

I producer more songs than you can shake a stick at!



PM me for my hourly rate, plus points expected when your shit record becomes a hit, because it will, because I'm a producer...
