left a trove, a treasure trove of great songs. >> yes. i feel so honoured that i caught her at that moment of - you could argue "the body guard" was not her best album, i would say "i will always love you" was the love song. that's what she was most remembered for. >> a dolly pardon song i'm. >> yes. that. >> i did, and i wrote "i have nothing", for her, which was fun. she was amazing. she was a race horse, she'd rip her jacket off, come in the studio and go. no vocal exercises. she was a troubled girl. as i read she was troubled long before i met her. and that. struggled with her life. if you gave me a list of 100 singers and said which one will go, she wouldn't be at the bottom of the list. >> wow. in "hitman" your terrific show. >> makes me smile. >> well, it should. >> it was my funeral when i was alive. it was pretty cool. >> stop. you played tribute to a hero of mine, maurice white. what is the importance of earth, wind and fire to your career. >> it's a kind of two fold, and i just give you a peak into the - my little sole. when i was in skylark, the singer in skylark, a great guy was not a fan of mine particularly. he was a huge fan of earth, wind and fire. when the group broke up. i thought i want to work with earth, wind and fire, it will be my mission and goal to get to earth, wind and fire. >> why is that?

>> the biggest change in our business was the cd, that was our television high def moment. television in the high def and everywhere had to buy a high defcd. when the c.d. came along everyone had to replace their albums with c.d. music was $40 billion, now it's $8 billion. do the maths. 8-12% drop since the year 2000. i like to say the music business is doing great, the record business is in trouble. kids think it's their right to own - to listen to music for free. more importantly kids don't want to own, feel or touch. they don't want to own, they want to play. >> that's what we enjoy. they want to click a button. >> and listen op here. >> we are in a beautiful studio making it sound incredible. they never feel or hear that or touch that. >> more to come. most know david foster as the hitman. coming up, find out what he find more rewarding than any number one hit. >> criminal gangs risking lives >> it's for this... 3 grams of gold >> killing our planet >> where it's blood red... that's where the mercury is most intense >> now, fighting back with science... >> we fire a laser imaging system out of the bottom of the plane >> revealing the deadly human threat >> because the mercury is dumped into the rivers and lakes, it then gets into the food chain... >> that's hitting home >> it ends up on the dinner plate of people... >> techknow only on al jazeera america >> part of al jazeera america's >> special month long evironmental focus fragile planet >>> i'm tony harris, and this is "talk to al jazeera", and i'm foster. >> look, i want to talk about the charity work. what is the stat here. in the past 27 years, the david foster foundation assisted close to 1,000 families with children in need of major organ transplants. how did you come to this work? >> it was a personal moment that came to me about 30 years ago. i was late to the charity world. 30 years ago, i was 35. my friends wayne gretsky and andre agassi, they were 25, i thought i better get on the train to give back. >> you were really blessed. at that point... >> absolutely. it's corny, but it's your responsibility. and i had a personal encounter with a young girl who needed a liver transplant and didn't make it. all she wanted was to see her sister, so for the price of an airline ticket i got her sister to come tos los angeles. -- to los angeles much it's rewarding. i have done 60-70 concerts for my foundation. we are raising millions, first year, $45,000. it's just when you look at a family and you get a letter from a family saying you literally saved our marriage, the sibling's lives, because the siblings get forgot, all the attention goes to the sick child. understandably. the siblings - they get forgotten. so when you get a letter like that, you saved our family, could there be anything better than that? in the early days i knew the name of every child. i can tell you katie luxton, shannon glass, got heart-lung transplants when they were seven. i watched katie luxton get married. she was seven when we helped her. now, with so many families, i dope know all the families -- don't know all the families, we have employees, and it's a big job, consuming probably a quarter of my life which means i'm working three-quarters in the music of. >> yes. what is the joy for you away - maybe it's family, i don't know. what is the real joy for you? >> the joy for me is when i find peace of mind, you know. again, it's a corny answer. i'm not that guy that looks at the sun set and writes a song, sorry to say. >> where does the motivation come from? >> it comes from it's a job. i know it's unromantic. it's a job. i know when i get together with michael buble, we'll do something good. okay, mike, tuesday, 10 o'clock, let's get together. something goodwill come out of it. it may not be a hit. i love my family and the children. as you may have read, i've been married a few times. it's a big blended family. anyone out there that has a blended family nose what i'm talking about, it's not that easy. we are figuring it out. works. >> still ahead - david foster turns sunrise >> the peninsula, in arabic, is aljazeera. our logo represents courage. fiercely independent quality reporting. >> to take as much aid as possible... >> and standing up for the voiceless. when you see this symbol respected around the world it means you too can now count on all the things we stand for. aljazeera america. >>> this is "talk to al jazeera", i'm tony harris, this week with famous composer david foster.
