JOHN AND DANA DOTE' / TILL DEATH DO US APART

Las Vegas Disc Jockey John Dote' returns to the San Francisco Bay Area to re-unite with female pop-vocalist soulmate of 24 years...The couple plans to wed in Vegas!

June 7, 2008 proved to be the most exciting birthday for legendary record producer John Dote' who has recently returned to the San Francisco Bay Area after 6 years of living in Las Vegas.  And why was his birthday so exciting you might ask?  His proposal to his longtime bestfriend of over 24 years to Bay Area pop recording artist Dana Farber was answered with a, "Yes I WILL".  Farber (right) and Dote' (left) go back several decades in the music industry. Their friendship has remained in tact and Farber is no stranger in the entertainment field.  Her recordings have been charted all over the world and their colaboration of their hit single "Searching" recorded in the late 80's and written by Dote' is about to be re-recorded  by this talented duo. In fact, the chorus lyrics as written reads "Someday, we've got to share the life we missed before" has come to a reality.

After many years apart, this newly wed team have decided to spend the moments and years apart with deep emotions and compassion that they never shared before, that is until now. Dote', who was born in the Bronx, New York-decided he met his match and soulmate, originally from San Francisco. The two originally met at a Foster City swimming pool. And summer was the perfect time of the season to meet. Their was an instant attraction and so much in common. They were meant for each other and their colaboration and talent in music does leave audience's standing on their feet. With all of those years of musical experience between them, they have now become a singing duo. And they are getting quite a response with their recent performances throughout the bay area. 

Dote' is also no stranger to the recording industry.  The theme from M*A*S*H, , Charlie's Angles and the theme from Jaws II were also influenced by his trade mark soundtrack of classic instrumentals. And the two have decided that it is time to live out their fantasies. MUSIC! While Larry King was a roomate in the Farber household during those days, Dote's mother was designing outfits for Sly and the family Stone. But it was during the 80's when Dote' was at the top of the musical forum. He was at the center stage. His name appeared on every television station, every newspaper and magazine cover and every major radio station. The two had a close friendship during this era and were seen in various bay area spots pulling up in a Rolls Royce. The Rolls was originally from the hit television series "Dynasty", which Dote' produced the theme song. Dote' had also produced "Searching" by Dana, but according to her, she got stiffed on her record. Dote' had deserted the project to promote Janet Jackson. When his career soared to the top, the two lost touch.
