I'd forgotten that Jim Foster had some solo success outside of Fosterchild. I always had a special affection for Fosterchild as they were co-managed by Don Boas, a former WEA Vancouver promo rep who, around 1971, opened a door for me to become a freelance music journalist. Lou Blair (who passed away a few years ago) was his Fosterchild partner. Of course. Lou and Bruce Allen directed Loverboy to global heights. I seem to remember that Jim Foster collaborated on writing one or more Loverboy tunes over the years. If so, there must've been some tidy royalties since Loverboy sold millions of albums in their heyday.
