Yippee! Finally! The wait is over! I'm totally pumped up...
The Listening Room is ready for you.
After 30-plus weeks of due diligence, lots of tweaking, putting all the nuts, bolts
and screws where they belong, The Listening Room is ready to go. So, all songwriters,
singers and bands, head on over to the site turleyrichards.com and click The Listening
Room link and read what is offered.
FACT... almost every single publishing company has signs posted that state, “No
solicitation”. Unless you know someone who works for one of these publishers, it's
a total waste of time to mail in your songs because they will not listen to them.
FACT... There is no one out there who will listen to your music and give you feedback.
You might have a great song but how do you get someone too listen and give tips
on how to improve your craft. Therefore, how can you grow and get better thereby
increasing your abilities? It's next to impossible.
FACT... The Listening Room is designed to give to you a professional opinion of
what you should do to enhance your chances of having more success with your God
given talents. Advice that could possibly result in publication.
FACT... If you really are serious about moving up to the next level and having the
kind of success that we all dream about, I truly feel that my suggestions can be
extremely helpful. You would be paying me to give you my honest and professional
opinion.
WHY ME?... I've been a singer, songwriter, producer and performer for almost 50
years.
As a producer, I have produced projects for the following record labels: Warner
Brothers, Silba, Bridge, Calliopy, CBS/Epic, Twentieth Century, Atlantic, Monument,
Evergreen, CBS/Priority, Benson, and Mercury Records. I have also produced for many
independent record labels. In total I have produced more than 35 artists and co-produced
my own prime-time television program in 1972. In 1979-80, I produced my own album
'Therfu' for Atlantic Records with Mick Fleetwood (of Fleetwood Mac) as the executive
producer. Mick was also my manager at that time. This was my first time, as a producer,
to have a song in the Billboard Top 50; ‘You Might Need Somebody’. As a songwriter,
I've had over 50 of my original songs recorded on other artists’ albums. One of
my songs ‘When I Lose My Way’ made it to number 1 in the UK and South Africa with
the artist Randi Crawford. As a singer/performer, I have sold 1.4 million records
world wide for the following record labels: Fraternity, ABC/Dot, MGM/Verve, Twentieth
Century, CBS/Columbia, Kapp, Warner Brothers, Silba, Calliopy, CBS/Epic and Atlantic
Records. Two of my songs made it to the Billboard Top 50 charts with another one
making the Billboard Top 100. Probably the most important talent I bring to the
table is my producing experience. A producer's job is to find and listen to as many
songs as possible in order to find the few songs that seem to have that ’hit’ quality.
I have listened to as many as 300 to 400 songs just to find that great one. This
means my ears have a tremendous amount of experience. I will give my honest, professional
opinion about all the songs that are submitted.
Being a songwriter is a great help; it is more subjective. However, it will help
me to see if the song is laid out well and that the writer has utilized all the
parts of the song to reach a wide and varied audience.
Being an arranger is a little subjective, but it allows me to see if the arrangement
has the ability to draw me or any listener into the body of the song.
So, check me out and make that smart move to take advantage of someone who has the
ability and experience to truly help you. You have the assurance that I will do
all I can to help you. Let’s see what we can do together.
I wish you luck.

"BlindSighted"
The words kind of make you do a double-take don't they? There is no such word as
BlindSighted, isn't it supposed to be blindsided? Well no, it is not for Turley
Richards! According to Webster's the definition of blind is not having the ability
to see. The definition of sighted is the ability to see or have vision. Rather contradicting
definitions wouldn't you agree? Turley Richards is an enigma, in that he has no
sight, or is blind. However, he is sighted in that he sees with his heart and has
never for one day felt the need for his lack of sight to get in the way of anything
that he set out to accomplish, personally or professionally. Therefore, he has chosen
the name "BlindSighted" for the name of his newly released CD and also the name
of his inspirational biography planned for publication later this year.
