"Love Is" recorded by Vanessa Williams and Brian McKnight, was nominated for a Grammy in the best of R & B vocal category and recently earned Michael a special citation of achievement from BMI for garnering two million broadcast performances.

Caruso's next co-publishing venture was with the Chrysalis Music Group. Chrysalis in association with RuffHouse Records prompted Caruso's important move to Nashville.

Presently, Caruso has landed the title track for Bill Champlin's new solo CD entitled "No Place Left To Fall" for DreamMakers Records.

Next up is the awesome Bekka Bramlett, daughter of Delaney & Bonnie, who has just released her brand new CD "I Got News For You" produced by Joe Stampley on Shongaloo Records.

The song is presently climbing the Music Row chart and weekly garnering more spins and more adds nationwide. Bekka is available at CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon & Rhapsody. Get This Girl. She is an awesome talent and a truly authentic artist. Always inspired.
