David Forman - Who You Been Talking To [With Booklet] Vinyl Record

Vinyl LP pressing. Includes booklet. Brooklyn-born David Forman was steeped in soul music and Brill Building songcraft in the early 1970s while earning his living as a Hollywood set builder. He developed a soul singing style through his friendship with Aaron Neville, with whom he used to sing and jam on his apartment rooftop. He met Jack Nitzsche through his work on the 1972 film Greaser's Palace (for which Nitzsche created the soundtrack) and later asked Nitzsche to produce this album. Forman's original record deal with Davis was shepherded by the critic Stephen Holden of Rolling Stone and later the New York Times, and later by Paul Nelson, also of Rolling Stone.

And Forman later became a jingle writer and wrote and sang the famous Tums theme song ("Tum tum-tum-tum, TUUUUMS.
