Product Information
A New York Times bestseller from Grammy and Academy Award-winning songwriter Carole Bayer Sager shares "a delightful and funny tell-all crammed with famous names and famous songs" (Steve Martin), from her fascinating (and sometimes calamitous) relationships to her collaborations with the greatest composers and musical artists of our time. For five decades, Carole Bayer Sager has been among the most admired and successful songwriters at work, responsible for her lyrical contributions to some of the most popular songs in the English language, including "Nobody Does It Better," "A Groovy Kind of Love," "Don't Cry Out Loud," and the theme from the movie Arthur , "The Best That You Can Do" (about getting caught between the moon and New York City). She has collaborated with (and written for) a dizzying number of stars, including Peter Allen, Ray Charles, Celine Dion, Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, Clint Eastwood, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Carole King, Melissa Manchester, Reba McEntire, Bette Midler, Dolly Parton, Carly Simon, Frank Sinatra, and Barbra Streisand. But while her professional life was filled with success and fascinating people, her personal life was far more difficult and dramatic. In this memoir that "reads like a candid conversation over a bottle of Mersault on a breezy Bel Air night" ( Vanity Fair ), Carole Bayer Sager tells the surprisingly frank and darkly humorous story of a woman whose sometimes crippling fears and devastating relationships inspired many of the songs she would ultimately write. "This exceptionally candid memoir" ( Los Angeles Times ) will fascinate anyone interested in the craft of songwriting and the joy of collaboration, but They're Playing Our Song is also a deeply personal account of how love and heartbreak made her the woman, and the writer, she is. "Carole Bayer Sager is simply the finest....and this book is one of the best, most lasting songs she has ever written" (Carly Simon).

Reviews
"From the hit-prone Carole Bayer Sager comes this delightful and funny tell-all crammed with famous names and famous songs. Every few pages you'll say to yourself, 'I didn't realize she wrote that.'" --Steve Martin, "Engaging...hilarious and heartrending account...memoir as very good chick-lit." --Wall Street Journal, "This exceptionally candid memoir goes behind the scenes of her success to describe the fear and insecurity Sager says she's experienced throughout her life....Rarely, though, does Sager seem to be grinding an ax or even reveling in the Hollywood drama; the book always circles back to her thoughtful self-examination, and to how each of these characters and incidents affected her music." --Los Angeles Times, "With more than 400 writing credits to her name, it's no surprise that Carole Bayer Sager's memoir, They're Playing Our Song , is as captivating, thoughtful and memorable as her lyrics." --Shelf Awareness, "This exceptionally candid memoir goes behind the scenes of her success to describe the fear and insecurity Sager says she's experienced throughout her life....Rarely, though, does Sager seem to be grinding an ax or even reveling in the Hollywood drama; the book always circles back to her thoughtful self-examination, and to how each of these characters and incidents affected her music." --Los Angeles Times, "Carole gives us a front row seat on the piano bench as she knocks out hit after hit with Marvin Hamlisch and Burt Bacharach, sits down with Bob Dylan in his barn, Michael Jackson in his studio, and Elizabeth Taylor on her bed (no, they didn't churn out a hit, just a deep friendship). This is a funny, fast paced, heartfelt book by an accomplished and glamorous woman who openly shares her journey with us." -- Candice Bergen, "Carole Bayer Sager is simply the finest. Having lived, loved and worked alongside gold standard major hitters like Marvin Hamlisch, Burt Bacharach, David Foster, and Peter Allen, she has had to be. Carole braids together lyrics the way Venus and Serena spin aces - repeatedly, miraculously - and this book is one of the best, most lasting songs she has ever written." --Carly Simon, "While sensitively chronicling her numerous ups and downs, the author is generous in her sharing of the anecdotes behind the music. The narrative is breezy and accessible, with writing that plays to the strengths of her crisp sense of humor, deep attachment to music, and resonant lust for life." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Tenderly illustrates an insider's account of life behind the music....Sager's writing is comfortably conversational, and her stories are lovingly told." --Publisher's Weekly, "Many women struggling in a man's world will enjoy the author's stories about her early family life and the challenges she faced growing up." --Library Journal, Before Beautiful: The Carole King Musical , there was They're Playing Our Song , Sager's musical based on her real-life relationship with composer Marvin Hamlisch. She recounts that story and much more in this honest, heartfelt, and often humorous memoir....Music lovers will enjoy getting to know the talent behind all those memorable songs." --Booklist, "Reads like a candid conversation over a bottle of Mersault on a breezy Bel Air night." --Vanity Fair, "I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is genuinely funny, and Carole's voice - bright, self-deprecating, but fearful and searching - comes through wonderfully well. The writing on Burt Bacharach is a highlight - really keenly observed - and the treatment of the depth of her despair over losing him is terrific." -- Bette Midler, "Carole Bayer Sager is simply the finest. Having lived, loved and worked alongside gold standard major hitters like Marvin Hamlisch, Burt Bacharach, David Foster, and Peter Allen, she has had to be. Carole braids together lyrics the way Venus and Serena spin aces - repeatedly, miraculously - and this book is one of the best, most lasting songs she has ever written." --Carly Simon, "'They're Playing Our Song' is an enjoyable memoir and should be read by anyone who remembers and appreciates popular music of the last 50 years....she captures beautifully the mood of each song, the relationship with each collaborator and how that song impacted the public." -- The Washington Times
