What connects Whitney Houston’s iconic One Moment in Time, Starship’s Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now and the timeless hit It Never Rains in Southern California The answer is Albert Hammond — legendary singer-songwriter, composer and record producer behind some of the world’s most enduring hits.
On this episode of Buzz by the Bay, we meet the man whose songs have been recorded by some of the biggest names in music, including Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson.
As a solo artist, Hammond is best known for classics such as It Never Rains in Southern California, The Free Electric Band, Down by the River and I’m a Train. His songwriting credits include One Moment in Time, Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now, Don’t Turn Around and When You Tell Me That You Love Me.
With Grammy and Oscar nominations, an Emmy Award, an OBE and an induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Hammond’s extraordinary career spans more than five decades.
In this conversation, he shares the stories behind his greatest hits, his songwriting process, his experiences working with music legends and the fascinating world of music royalties — including how songs written decades ago can continue to generate substantial earnings.
We also explore another side of his life: his first visit to India, his experience at Sadhguru’s ashram, his interest in Indian spirituality and Autobiography of a Yogi, and the influence of meditation on his life and music.
