(CBS)  David Foster has worked with the biggest and best talents in the music industry, His track record speaks for itself, and many consider him a legend.

The 15-time Grammy Award winner, including three for Producer of the Year, has an unprecedented 44 nominations to his credit.

David Foster and Friends, which includes vocal powerhouse Charice and the Canadian Tenors, launches this week with 10 shows in 10 cities.

Foster stopped by "The Early Show Saturday Edition"'s Second Cup Cafe to perform a "Note to God" with Charice and "The Prayer" with the Canadian Tenors.

Foster broke into the music scene in 1973 as a member of Skylark, whose song, "Wildflower" became a Top Ten hit. After the band broke up, Foster quickly established a reputation as the industry's premier keyboardist and most-sought-after session musician.

He has an impressive roster when it comes to musical collaborations. Foster has performed alongside musical icons Neil Sedaka, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Paul Anka, Diana Ross, George Harrison, Dolly Parton, Sonny & Cher and Rod Stewart.

I was extremely disapointed this morning when the Tenors segment was cut off. They were wonderful! Could you please put their entire segment on you web site and add the names of CDs they have produced.

Having spent over 15 years in radio and television, I understand the importance of timing; however, I was ready to explode this morning after you promoted David Foster and the Canadian Tenors throughout the show and then they were cut off before they finished. This happens everyday on The Early Show at some point. Couldn't you please schedule fewer segements in order to complete the ones that we have gotten interested in before they are finished. Thank you for your consideration to your loyal viewers.

I love your saturday am show, I look forward to watching it. I especially enjoyed this morning's second cup cafe with David Foster and friends, but did not get the name of the tenors, as I would like to purchase a CD if they have one.
Keep up the good works, and efforts, and in the meantime, I will enjoy your Saturday am show.
Thank you, Pat C. Sorensen
