In 2013, she was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She has won thirteen ASCAP Awards, and has co-written hits for numerous successful recording artists, including Tina Turner and Pat Benatar who each won Grammy Awards for their recordings of her songs. So I thought I would give it a shot," she said. "And as it turns out, it came very naturally to me, like it was oozing out of every pore.”

This section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. Please help by adding reliable sources. Contentious material about living people that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately.Some memoirs dwell too long on unnecessary parts of the subject's lives but Holly never meanders too long in any section of her life. She gets right to the point about her youth, her difficult relationship with her mother which must have played a part in forging the force she would become and all of the personal relationships that she had too. I enjoyed reading about her personal life and escapades as a woman as well, because I think it's critical to understanding the mind and heart of the composer of the most powerful and anthemic songs of empowerment and independence for women. Songs such as The Warrior (title of her book), Invincible, Better Be Good to Me, (Simply) The Best, Never, and so many others! I personally enjoyed seeing this side of the artist. She is, after all, human. She has been married three times, and dated Anton Fig and Paul Stanley in the 1980s. [3] Discography [ edit ] Studio albums [ edit ] This is the story of a young girl with a dream and the story of the music scene of an iconic decade. Holly dedicates the book “to anyone who ever had a dream and was told ‘No’.” She's hoping people come away from "I Am the Warrior" understanding that “you don't get through this world without your own self-belief.” Find sources: "Holly Knight"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( August 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Holly Knight (hardcover) : Target I Am The Warrior - By Holly Knight (hardcover) : Target
A lot of times, I sort of had to earn their trust,” she said. “So I would sneak into a corner and start to play Beethoven or something. People would listen and go, ‘Huh ... well, she can play.’” I continued following Holly through the years through "Raise Your Glasses" on KISS' Psycho Circus album and "You're the One" from Rev Theory. She's a master of melody and pop song structure. She's in my top 5 favorite songwriters. I just adore her talent and career.The one thing I'll disagree with her about is in regard to her solo CD. I was astounded to read how much she hated it, how much she couldn't see herself as a lead singer and how she wishes she could buy up every copy and destroy them. I loved the album. It was a gem of a find in my trip to Canada. "Baby Me," "Howling at the Moon," even "Sexy Boy" were fantastic pop songs. And I, for one, am glad she didn't give "Heart Don't Fail Me Now" to Darryl Hall.

Watch Video Tina Turner documentary: A survivor's tale of 'She wanted to just tell it and forget it' Holly Knight says she and Tina Turner were 'very simpatico' Full of sex and drugs and so much fun name-dropping, this is a breezy, readable look at an era that simultaneously seems distant and not that long ago. The name dropping isn't terribly gratuitous, in that there really were so many connections among people in the industry, and she clearly explains her relationships to them and each other. Her relationship to three members of KISS was of particular note!
Holly Knight (Signed Book) I Am the Warrior - Holly Knight (Signed Book)
Knight learned of the legend’s abuse at the hands of Ike Turner while reading “I, Tina,” the memoir that became the basis for the biopic “What's Love Got to Do With It.” And Knight never discussed the abuse she endured at the hands of her own mother with Turner. She's had as amazing of a life as I'd imagined. Her willingness to be so honest about her experiences, exploits and journey to legendary status was consumed in just a couple of days. I couldn't put it down.
