Desmond Child is one of the most successful songwriters to work across the rock and pop worlds with everyone from Ratt to Aerosmith, Ricky Martin, Kelly Clarkson, Cher, Kiss, Michael Bolton, Selena Gomez, Robbie Williams – and even Dream Theater benefitting from his expertise. So there's a lot to talk about in his interview with Produce Like A Pro's Warren Huart, and the subject of two of his songs released in 1986 that bear unmistakable similarities comes up.
The songs are Bonnie Tyler's If You Were a Woman and I Was a Man, Bon Jovi's You Give Love A Bad Name – but Ava Max's 2020 pop hit Kings & Queens is also part of the discussion.
