I think that in certain worlds there is a Desmondism just as much as here there is a Steinmanism, to put it into single words. Desmond, as opposed to another producer that could have been chosen or could have agreed to the project, has a solid following amongst a huge segment of the music buying public, and Desmond, in his inimitable acknowledgement of his own power, vied into that for the success of the album. Desmond is an A&R rep's dream, with his eye on the prize as much as the music scales. I do believe that in the artistic sphere, Desmond "gets" Steinman.....but he has to be out of he parallel sway of mogulmania in order that it could show itself in proper light.
