VETERAN VOCALIST DAVID “LEFTY” FOSTER FINALLY RELEASES WHAT A LIFE – THE LOST LA SESSIONS THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT
PRODUCED BY THE LATE LEGENDARY PAUL ROTHCHILD (THE DOORS, JANIS JOPLIN, JONI MITCHELL)
David “Lefty” Foster has been captivated by music, particularly the blues, since his professional singing career began at the tender age of 14. His journey into the blues world was solidified during his twenties when he co-owned the Shaboo Inn, a legendary R&B and jazz nightclub that hosted blues greats such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and T-Bone Walker. In 1987, he relocated to Los Angeles and seized the opportunity to record his solo album, “What a Life,” produced by the esteemed Paul Rothchild (The Doors, Janis Joplin, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Joni Mitchell).
Despite the album’s eventual shelving due to unforeseen circumstances, Lefty has now teamed up with Deko Entertainment to bring this album to life, now titled What A Life – The Lost L.A. Sessions. The first single “What A Life” is out now and this what Lefty had to say about it, “I’m very excited to be partnering with Deko Entertainment (ADA/Warner Music Group) and have the opportunity for the world to finally hear this record and these legendary tracks that have never been heard before – I’m really looking forward to it – thank you so much.”

In addition to Rothchild, the album features the incredible Phenix Horns most notably known for being the horn section with Earth, Wind & Fire as well as a who’s who of top session guys of the day including Jack Scarangella (Blood Sweat & Tears), Mark Williams (Don Henley), Joe Lala (Whitney Houston), Kal David (Etta James), and much more. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this snapshot in time when music was made the old fashioned way. They PLAYED IT.
Lefty will be celebrating the long overdue release of this album with a special concert with The Hollywood Allstars Friday September 13th and The Kate (The Katherine Hepburn Cultural Arts Theater) in Old Saybrook CT.
