Review (Blue Desert - The World Of West Coast Music) : Born in Brooklyn, and raised in Toronto, Marc grew up in a household that abounded with music. Classically-trained Charles Jordan, a singer and radio personality, exposed Marc to everything from Woody Guthrie to Grieg, and to all of the jazz greats. Marc studied filmmaking in university but soon slipped back into music and songwriting. Marc focused mainly on pop throughout his career, writing for a spectrum of artists including Cher, Joe Cocker, Chicago, Kenny Loggins, Natalie Cole, Manhatten Transfer, Holly Cole and Amanda Marshall. In 1992, he gave Rod Stewart a worldwide #1 hit with “Rhythm Of My Heart”, as well as “This” which went Top 10. And 1999 has proven to be another stellar year for Marc. Cher recorded a second Marc Jordan composition (“Taxi Taxi”) for her blockbuster album Believe, predicted to hit sales of 10 million by Christmas. Back for more, Rod Stewart has once again mined Marc’s portfolio, finding two songs for his new CD due out in January 2000. When all is said and done, though, timing is everything. Having recorded eight albums of his own and satisfied with his reputation as a songwriter. His second album “Blue Desert” is a masterpiece in the west coast music world, and this album title was the inspiration to the name of this website.
