Do you know the name Mark Eldridge? According to Wikipedia, he is a Grammy winning Guitarist, keyboardist and music producer…oh, yes…in the music field he goes by the name Kipper.
Kipper is best known for producing and performing on Sting’s biggest selling solo album Brand New Day as well as the platinum albums All This Time and Sacred Love.
When fans of Clay Aiken found out that Kipper would be the producer of Clay’s CD, On My Way Here, Kipper became one of the most popular hits on Google.
While talking to WRAL-TV, Kipper said:
We’ve captured some really great moments. I’m very optimistic we’re going to have a record where people will go, ‘Is that Clay? Is that Clay Aiken?'”
Besides producing On My Way Here, Kipper wrote one of the songs on the album. Kipper wrote the following about the song, “Everything I Don’t Need”, on his official web page:
“I have been very busy with an exciting variety of projects. I finished Clay Aikens album “On My Way Here” in April and we enjoyed huge success with the album peaking at No 4 in the US Billboard charts. I also wrote the song “You’re Everything I Don’t Need” with Judie Tzuke and James Morrison which is a stand out track on the album, check it out on iTunes.”
The following video is Everything I Don’t Need
Do you think this was a “stand-out” track on the album, On My Way Here?
Absolutely love this video – and yes it is a stand-out track on the album! Just proves Clay can sing anything and has what it takes to stir a crowd! But we already knew that from the beginning. Thank you for all of the Kipper info and keeping us informed on so many events about Clay!
Thank you for the info, pictures and the video. I like the info. The pictures and the video are great. Kipper is a great writer and producer. I like the song Everything I Don’t Need. All the songs on the CD On My Way Here are great for Clay. He has a great voice. I do not remember this video. Thank you CANN.
“On My Way Here” is my favorite CD! I love the way Clay belts out this torch song with his soulful voice! “Very Sexy”! Thank you, CANN for sharing this special memory!
